Chapter 360 Political Statement
After the battlefield was cleaned, Shao Xun quickly left and headed to Kaocheng.
Unification of thought is the most important thing now, bar none.
A few days later, he arrived at the Zhenjun General's Mansion in the western suburbs of Kaocheng.
Concubine Pei was startled when she saw the dusty Shao Xun.
"Win?" Concubine Pei asked.
"We won." Shao Xun nodded: "The formation killed Gou Chun, Gou Xi escaped by riding alone, and captured more than 5,000 of his defeated troops."
Fei Pei was determined. After gathering his composure, he said: "I will summon my subordinates right away."
Shao Xun nodded, then sat in the room and waited silently.
It took some time to gather the staff, and in the evening, the talents began to arrive one after another.
After hearing Cai Cheng's report, Shao Xun straightened his robes and walked towards the main hall.
Everyone’s eyes fell on him.
Their expressions are extremely complicated.
There are those who take pleasure in others’ misfortune.
Some people are worried.
It's none of your business.
Some people are thinking hard about speculation.
In short, no one is angry about this matter.
Sima Yue’s shogunate really had no loyal ministers, and they were all working against the emperor.
The staff sat down according to their status.
Shi Pan Tao, the commander on the left, Shi Zhao Mu, the commander on the right, Pei Shao, the commander on the left, and Deng You, the commander on the right, are all of high rank. Rank than a thousand stones.
The chief bookkeepers are Pei Xia and Jiang Chun.
East and West Cao Guangyi and Cheng Shou.
The East and West Pavilions offer sacrifices to the King of Wine and Cao Yin.
Join the army Zou Jie, Liu Wei, Li Xing, and Champion Yi.
Quzhuang and Cai Ming, the governors of the recording office.
Supervisor Pei Miao.
The supervisor protects Mi Zhi.
In addition to these people, there are also Cao Cao, Ling Shi, Sheren, etc.
Except for those who were out on business and those who were away on official business, basically all the assistants and assistants who were in Kaocheng came.
As for the generals, He Lun, the tent commander, Man Heng, the battalion commander, Tang Jian, the assassination commander, and Liu Qia, the lieutenant of the East China Sea, are not here.
The princes who originally served as various officials in the mansion have been ordered by the emperor to return to the capital - Sima Yue took the princes with him and sometimes gave them something to do.
Shao Xun sat carelessly under Concubine Pei, making everyone look askance. Even the heir king was surprised for a while.
"I have been in power for several months and know that it is not easy to do things. The affairs of the army and the people are complex and difficult to deal with..." After a moment of silence, Concubine Pei took the lead to speak: "Mr. Chen is a man of great wisdom and loyalty. I would like to hire him now. Military Secretary, Xiangzan General Secretary, what do you think? "
Everyone didn't say anything when they heard this.
After a while, Zuo Chang Shi Pan Tao, Zhonglang Pei Miao, and Supervisor Mi Zhi stood up almost at the same time.
"In the nine counties of Yanzhou, the towns have become ruins and the villages have been scattered. People who are not very wise and brave cannot rectify them. I agree." Pan Tao said.
As one of the staff who once persuaded Sima Yue to kill the Emperor's accomplices, Pan Tao had no reason to surrender to the Emperor. It was normal for him to stand up and say this.
"Chen Gongxing has high moral integrity, talents in both civil and military affairs, and is actually a good choice for the army." Pei Miao said.
As a member of the Pei family and a close relative of Concubine Pei, Pei Miao has been in the Yue Mansion for a long time and is deeply valued by Sima Yue. He is given the title of "Fake Festival, Supervisor of the Military of the King of the East Sea", and he is the first person in the entire Sima Yue. It is the supervisory army of various military forces.
He has been deeply involved in various plans, many of which are aimed at the emperor. He has no idea whether he will be liquidated.
"I agree." Mi Zhi finally said.
Mi Huang's son continued his father's original position in the shogunate, but the situation was completely different - when Mi Huang entered the Yue Mansion, there was really no one available to Sima Yue, so he recruited people from the feudal state. Mi Zhi can now be regarded as inheriting his father's influence.
After the three people finished speaking, others stood up one after another to express their opinions, and they basically all agreed.
Shao Xun took a look, and most of them got up. Only a dozen or so people didn't get up. It seemed that they didn't agree with it.
But it doesn’t matter, the overall situation has been decided.
So he also stood up and said: "I am busy with affairs and have heavy responsibilities on my shoulders. I am only taking this position temporarily. The shogunate has the final say in everything. I will not interfere."
Said After finishing, he looked at everyone, took out something from his arms, and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Who the hell doesn’t know this! Imperial decree?
Shao Xun handed the edict to Concubine Pei.
After Concubine Pei read it, she remained calm and handed it to the heir, Sima Pi.
Sima Pi had no reaction after seeing it.
There is a paragraph about his father, Sima Yue, who "intentionally commits evil" and "disobeys the emperor's orders", but he is too "filial" to feel any anger. Shao Xun took the edict back and handed it to Zuo Chang Shi Pan Tao.
Pan Tao read it quickly and chuckled.
As one of the top people on the emperor's revenge list, Pan Tao knew that he would not be spared. Reading it at this time, I felt a strange pleasure - I was in Kaocheng, and I had just received a housekeeper. Concubine, I eat and drink well every day, and I have a high position. What can you do to me?
After reading it, Pan Tao stood up directly, asked Concubine Pei for permission, and then read it out in public.
As I read, the expressions on everyone’s faces became wonderful.
The emperor said that someone was "constructing Zhongliang" and "defeating the country", which immediately attracted many people.
This probably means killing He Sui's group. To be honest, there are quite a few people involved in the shogunate. Some people are gone and some are still there, so I feel restless right now.
The emperor also said that some people "abandoned my virtue" and "aided his evil plots", and continued to make people check his position, especially those who had served in the court and later defected to Sima Yue.
In the end, the emperor also said that he would "extend his scandalous behavior" and "severely apply for national punishment" - a decisive killing, which suddenly made the Yuefu officials and assistants sit on pins and needles.
However, everyone still focused on Shao Xun, because more than half of the edict talked about him, and he was unmatched by others.
"The emperor wants to kill us all, what good ideas do you have?" Shao Xun scanned the circle and asked.
"The Emperor will definitely be deceived by bad people." Although it was on the Emperor's must-kill list, Pan Tao still carefully guided the rhythm to prevent others from pointing the finger directly at the Emperor.
"What Pan Changshi said is absolutely true." Shao Xun sighed: "I was in Luoyang in the past, and I saw that the emperor was an honest and honest man, and there must be traitors among them."
Everyone listened. Yes, thinking secretly.
"However, it is not appropriate for us to get involved in this matter. We must come forward to the Central Government." Pan Tao said again.
"The long history makes sense." Shao Xun said with a smile.
"If the military commander allows me, I can go to Luoyang."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The two sang in harmony and quickly confirmed the matter.
Sima Pi looked a little confused and hesitated to speak.
Why did Shao Xun become the military commander of the shogunate? And you exercise your authority unceremoniously in public?
Many people may have forgotten that Shao Xun was a general of the Forbidden Army, but Zhao and Deng once told him that Shao Xun's official officer was the Governor Yamen Army - that is, he was of low origin. , if he is a son of an aristocratic family, the "Du Yamen Army" instantly becomes the "Central Protector Army", which is the general who commands all the imperial troops stationed in the suburbs of Gyeonggi except the Seventh Army of Suwei (stationed in the city).
The governor of Yamen Army (the official) and the Nanzhonglang General (the American official) were used to control Liang County. They followed the old practice since the Three Kingdoms, that is, sending generals out of the town in important counties, such as Lu Meng ( Zhenguangde) and Zhuran (oversaw five counties including Shanyin). Under the Chengdu king's command during the imperial dynasty, General Qiao Zhiming also supervised Linli, a total of two counties.
Liang County is an important town in Luonan, with Guangcheng Pass and Shaoxun Town nearby. Logically speaking, Liang County has nothing to do with Yanzhou. Why did he become the Military Advisor?
The position of Military Secretary oversees the overall military situation, including recruitment, training, decision-making, and commanding. There are also military counselors and wine ministers as assistants.
As soon as he came, the entire military affairs of the shogunate came under his control.
Why did grandma do this? Sima Pi glanced at his mother again.
Concubine Pei had no expression.
Sima Pi felt uncomfortable. Thinking of the recent teachings of Zhao and Deng, he felt a little disappointed.
Are you determined to be tied to Mr. Chen? He was hired as military commander in public, and there was no way out.
"I have one more thing to do." Shao Xun saluted Concubine Pei and Sima Pi again and said.
"Military Commander, please speak." Concubine Pei said.
Shao Xun clapped his hands, and after a while, a shogunate official came in carrying a wooden box.
Shao Xun took the wooden box, opened it, and took out a shriveled head that exuded a smell.
Sima Pi suddenly vomited.
Concubine Pei's face was not very pretty, but she was still calm.
The staff had different expressions, but they still maintained their dignity and did not make a fuss.
"This is Gou Chun's head." Shao Xun said: "When the Gou brothers entered Fan County, they disturbed the late Situ's dormitory, broke the tombstone, and damaged the inscription. It was a heinous crime."
< br>There was nothing strange on Shao Xun's face when he said this.
Which is worse, smashing tombstones, or sleeping with a sister-in-law, it’s hard to say.
Everyone looked at him quietly, waiting for the next step.
"I think I should use this head as a sacrifice to comfort Situ under the deep soil." Shao Xun said.
Concubine Pei’s eyes were a little red.
Human beings are complex emotional creatures. She and Sima Yue did not have any feelings for each other, but they were husband and wife after all. It was definitely sad to see her late husband's tombstone damaged.
While her emotions were agitated, she still found the key point and just heard her say: "What the military commander said is absolutely true. Except for those who need to stay behind, all the shogunate officials should go to Fan County to repair it. Go to bed and pay homage to your late husband. We can’t delay this matter, so we should leave as soon as possible.”
"No." The staff responded one after another.
Smart people know that this is not a simple act of sacrifice, but a collective political statement.
Whoever does not go will renounce this group.
Once they go, the labels on them will be strengthened, and the emperor will look at them strangely.
The concubine is determined to support Mr. Chen. How should I put it, in everyone's opinion, it is not a bad choice.
Especially those who had offended the emperor strongly supported it. If they did not want to go south to Jianye, they really had no other way to go.
Sima Pi subconsciously looked at Zhao Mu and Deng You.
The two of them bowed their heads at this time and did not respond.
