Chapter 92: The Taikang Emperor's Means
The words are divided into two ends.
The Marquis of Jing'an in the north was just in contact with the Yuwen tribes and was initially engaged in the initial handling. In the capital thousands of miles away, Emperor Taikang passed a veteran general over fifty into the Weiyang Palace.
This person is nothing else, but Pei Jin, who has experienced ups and downs in the Taikang Dynasty, and Pei Jin, the Imperial Army General.
Pei Jin was a person promoted by Emperor Chengde. In the early years of Taikang, he had many suspicions about Emperor Taikang's succession, so that from the end of the 18th year of Chengde to the second half of the first year of Taikang, Emperor Taikang could not control the imperial guards as he pleased.
Later, Li Xin returned from Yongzhou and used the old-fashioned method of rising openly and descending secretly to drive General Pei from the previous dynasty to the second line.
But Feng Shui turns.
After the Battle of the West, Li Xin became the one who needed to be feared, while Pei Jin became the sword in the hand of Emperor Taikang. Now the Marquis of Jing'an, who had made contributions from Long, was in the north and dealing with Yuwen's tribes in pain. General Pei was still sitting in the position of the General of the Imperial Guard and became the only person who had become the General of the Imperial Guard since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.
He even broke the old rule that the emperor and the ministers were all the time.
At this time, in the study room of Weiyang Palace, Pei Jin respectfully knelt on the ground, touching his forehead.
"My memory Pei Jin, please come to your Majesty."
It was obviously not easy for people from the previous dynasty to gain the trust of the emperor of the new dynasty, but Pei Jin did it. Part of the reason why he could do it was because the Marquis of Jing'an was too powerful and the emperor needed to find an opponent for Li Xin in the military.
Another part of the reason is that he is aware of the current affairs and is qualified, so the emperor will use him.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne looked at Pei Jin kneeling on the ground with a expressionless face.
This current emperor always smiles when facing Li Xin and is very easy-going. When Li Xin kneels down to him, he will come to help him with his own hands, but in fact, he has been born in the imperial family since childhood, and is not an easy-going person.
This was not a change that occurred after he ascended the throne. In fact, when he was the King of Wei, he was not a casual personality.
This can be clearly seen from his attitude towards Cui Jiuniang.
At this time, facing Pei Jin, he was the noble emperor, because he and Pei Jin were just a simple relationship between superiors and subordinates, not a complex relationship with Li Xin.
Because Li Xin was kind to him, he had no choice but to put on airs.
The emperor closed the memorial in his hand and glanced at Pei Jin indifferently.
"General Pei gets up and talks."
Pei Jin lowered his head and thanked him slowly.
The emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Zheng brought a chair to Pei Jin with a wink. The general was trembling and did not dare to do it.
Emperor Taikang didn't force himself, and squinted his eyes and looked at his general, with a smile on his face: "I heard that General Pei's right camp of the imperial guards has not been having a good time."
Pei Jin lowered his head and said, "I am afraid that the imperial guards are His Majesty's imperial guards, not my imperial guards..."
"As for what Your Majesty said, it's not easy..."
General Pei gritted his teeth secretly and smiled bitterly: "For some reason, it is a bit difficult for the adults of the Ministry of War to target my imperial guards for some reason..."
He offended the Ministry of War so ruthlessly that since that time, the Ministry of War regards him and the Imperial Army as a thorn in his side. As long as he contacts him on weekdays, he will not only not have a good face, but also make things difficult for him.
The emperor laughed.
"It's Li Shangshu of the Ministry of War. I left a pit for you before leaving, and you jumped down. However, I have already said hello to the Ministry of War and will not make things difficult for the imperial guards in the future."
The imperial guards are the most powerful military force in the capital and one of the emperor's most powerful weapons. Naturally, the emperor cannot watch the Ministry of War make things difficult for him.
Although Pei Jin had not figured out what was going on because of the unequal intelligence, he understood a little bit who the people who cheated him, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
But soon, the emperor's words made him have no time to think about this matter anymore.
"Pei Jin, I have summoned you to the palace, and there is a big thing you want to do."
Pei Jin knelt on the ground again and kowtowed, "Your Majesty has given me the order, I will never refuse!"
The emperor returned to his desk, took an envelope from the table, and then delivered it to Pei Jin in person, with a calm tone.
"This is the Ministry of War's order to dispatch troops, with the seal of the Shangshu Detachment and my jade seal."
"My secret order is also in this envelope."
Pei Jin's hands trembled, took the envelope, and whispered: "Your Majesty..."
"From tomorrow, you should not do things in the Imperial Guard. The matters of the Imperial Guard will be handed over to Hou Jingde. If you take these things out of the capital, I have a major task to you."
Pei Jin lowered his head and took a deep breath.
"I obey the order."
"I don't know what your Majesty is..."
The emperor was originally facing away from Pei Jin. After hearing his words, he turned around and squatted beside Pei Jin with a cold expression.
"I want to clear the hidden dangers that the Battle of the West five years ago did not clean up."
"This time you leave the capital alone, don't move any of the imperial guards, and you can startle the enemy for free. This order of troops can mobilize 50,000 troops from Hanzhou, 20,000 troops from Jincheng, and garrisons from all over the southwest. I have calculated that the total number of more than 130,000 people are more than 130,000. Although these people are not as elite as imperial guards, they are barely usable."
The emperor's eyes were deep and he said coldly: "Pei Jin, listen."
General Pei bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty ordered."
"Southwest, not far from Jincheng, there is a Hanzhou Prefecture!"
The emperor looked gloomy and shouted in a low voice: "There are about 100,000 households in the Hanzhou Prefecture. You only have about 40,000 households living in Hanzhou City, but these 40,000 households have a total of 50,000 soldiers!"
"In recent years, the court has basically not given them a silver bullet. Do you know why?"
Pei Jin lowered his head and said, "I am stupid."
"Because these people are all survivors of the old Southern Shu, and they are rebels of the Great Jin!"
Emperor Taikang gritted his teeth and said, "Today, more than 40 years have passed. There are still 50,000 South Shu soldiers in the southwest of my country. I do not obey the command of the court and will not be dispatched by the court!"
"Pei Jin, listen."
The emperor shouted: "I will give you half a year, and it will be opened next year at most. I want Hanzhou Prefecture to become the Hanzhou Prefecture of our Great Jin Dynasty, rather than their rebel den in South Shu!"
General Pei nodded first, and then said, "Your Majesty... I heard that wars are also going to be fought in the north. Isn't it a bit bad to start the war there at this time..."
The emperor had no expression on his face.
"I want you to do it, you do it."
"If you flatten the southwest to me, the one in the north will do his best."
Pei Jin didn't know if he understood it, but his face changed slightly and he whispered: "I understand."
He hesitated for a moment and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, after the Hanzhou City was broken, those Southern Shu people..."
The emperor did not answer this question positively, but said lightly: "I... don't want to see them."
Pei Jin took a deep breath, stuffed the envelope into his arms, and whispered: "I understand."
"I will go down and prepare now and take your leave first."
As he said that, he slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace.
Emperor Taikang, who stayed in the Weiyang Palace, looked to the north.
"I'll transfer you out of Beijing..."
