"Zhang Qigong..."

The next day, in the Chui Gong Hall, when the ministers of the inner court saw Zhang Qigong, their expressions became a little strange.

Even the former Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yu Ziqi and the former Hubu Shangshu Li Liang, who had been in a stalemate over a certain policy debate in the past few days, tacitly stopped arguing when they saw Zhang Qigong. Like several other colleagues,

While reviewing the memorial, he secretly looked at Zhang Qigong.

No wonder, even though Zhang Qigong is a powerless scholar, everyone who knows him knows that this guy has a vicious temperament and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. In the past year or so, many of the policies implemented by the old prince Zhao Yu

, almost every article has the shadow of Zhang Qigong.

For example, Li Zheng was sidelined, the military guards, imperial guards, and Lang Wei were integrated, and the Junshui Army, Chenggao Army, and Fenxing Army were combined, and even generals such as Bailiba, Xu Yin, and Zhu Hai were kicked out of the military and temples.

Wait, in short, Zhang Qigong, whether in the temple or the military, has a very poor reputation and interpersonal relationships, so bad that no one is willing to intercede for him even if they know that he was imprisoned under Li Zheng's order.

And such a lone wolf, such a cruel official, actually appeared in the Chui Gong Hall today, which made Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Feng Yu, Xu Guan, Li Liang and other ministers secretly take a few more glances - these people all

Because of Zhang Qigong's relationship, they were dismissed from their official posts by the old prince Zhao Yu. If the prince Zhao Run hadn't come to power, it would have been impossible for them to return to the court.

Because of this, even if they clearly saw Zhang Qigong standing at the entrance of the inner hall at this moment, Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Feng Yu, Xu Guan, and Li Liang pretended not to see it, let alone asking the little eunuch in the hall to move Zhang Qigong.

They didn't even bother to talk to Zhang Qigong and say hello.

In the end, Jie Ziyu felt that it was inappropriate to treat his future colleague so coldly, so he stepped forward and exchanged a few words with Zhang Qigong: "Is Mr. Zhang waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince?"

In terms of age, Zhang Qigong is several years older than Jie Zigong, but considering that Jie Zigong is the chief staff member around Prince Zhao Run, Zhang Qigong also gives Jie Zigong enough respect: "Yes, Master Jiezi, His Highness the Crown Prince would like to entrust me to you.

, so I came down here and waited to be sent.”

Of course, as the saying goes, Wen Wu is first and Wu Wu is second. Since Zhang Qigong has decided to switch to Prince Zhao Run, he doesn't mind competing for the position of the "core team". Don't look at Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi and others who look down on him. In fact,

He also looked down on these weak ministers, so long as the two sides maintained a tacit understanding and did not cross the river. As for the Jie Zizi in front of him, Zhang Qigong did not want to replace the latter. Firstly, Jie Zi's talent was not inferior to him at all, and in the prince's favor

Zhao Run's status in his heart far surpassed him. It would be unwise to offend this person. Secondly, even if he compares with Jie Zitu, there are also Wen Qi and the bandit who is currently serving as the Fenyin Order in Hedong County.

Accurate, but of little significance.

All in all, before integrating into the team of Prince Zhao Run, Zhang Qigong felt that it was better for him to be restrained and not be as sharp as when he was with the old prince Zhao Yu, so that even on the side of the Yong Wang Party,

Many people dislike him.

After listening to Zhang Qigong's words, Jie Zigong nodded slightly. Since the relationship between the two was not close, the latter didn't know what to say at this moment. He made a haha ​​and said a few words casually, and then ordered to wait in the hall.

A young eunuch brought a stool for Zhang Qigong.

He had fulfilled his courtesy. As for whether Zhang Qigong would sit down or not, and whether he would accept it or not, that was the latter's own business.

However, after Zhang Qigong hesitated for a while, he did not ignore Jie Zitu's kindness and moved the small stool to sit down at the entrance of the inner hall.

This wait lasted for nearly an hour, and Zhang Qigong was quite confused and confused: As a prince, shouldn't he rush to Chui Gong Hall at the hour of the hour to handle government affairs? It's already past the second quarter of the hour.

, where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Just when Zhang Qigong was muttering to himself, he finally saw the late prince Zhao Run yawning.

"Why……"

For a moment, all the ministers in the Chui Gong Hall sighed secretly in tacit understanding.

Why, because since Prince Zhao Run came to supervise the country, he only arrived at Chui Gong Hall on time in the first three days. Then, it became later and later every day. For example, today, he was more than half an hour late. This is simply... ugh

!

"Your Highness, why did you miss the time?"

As the head of the court's etiquette officials, Du You, the Minister of Rites, felt that it was necessary to advise the Crown Prince, so he asked with a straight face.

Prince Zhao Run seemed to have expected it. He coughed and said, "It's like this. When I came here, I saw a flying butterfly emerging from its cocoon. I was shocked by its unremitting struggle and efforts. I sighed in my heart. I, the Wei Dynasty, am not right now.

Is it like this thing, about to break out of the cocoon and be reborn? My heart is agitated, so I missed the time, please forgive me, Lord Du You."

"It's still only the end of February. Are you telling me that you saw a butterfly emerging from its cocoon?"

"..." Du You, the Minister of Rites, heard the words and his mouth twitched a few times. He felt angry and funny in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Seriously?"

After hearing this, Prince Zhao Run opened his eyes and said angrily: "Master Du You, can't you believe me? Since you don't believe it, I will go and catch that butterfly now..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yuyang said quickly: "Your Highness, I believe it, I believe it."

Immediately, Yu Ziqi and Feng Yu also agreed: "Since His Highness said he saw it, there must be insects that "turn into butterflies in February"."

Are you kidding me? If I let His Highness go now, God knows when His Highness will come back?

No, even Li Liang frequently winked at Du You.

"Patience, patience..."

Taking a deep breath, Du You sat back down in a depressed manner.

Seeing this strange scene, even Zhang Qigong couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh?"

Hearing laughter, Zhao Hongrun turned around and saw Zhang Qigong standing aside.

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong quickly raised his hands and saluted: "Zhang Qigong, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"You came so early?" Zhao Hongrun was slightly surprised.

Zhang Qigong cupped his hands and said sternly: "I am honored to be entrusted by His Highness the Crown Prince, and I do not dare to neglect you."

"Has Prince Yong's Mansion... been notified?" Zhao Hongrun asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have personally told Princess Yong about this matter." When he said these words, Zhang Qigong's eyes flashed with sadness.

Because when he told Princess Yong's concubine Cui about the matter, she didn't blame him for joining the Ming Lord, but her look as if she was looking at the Sangmenxing made Zhang Qigong feel very disappointed.

Including the Zongwei of Yongwang Zhao Yu, headed by Zongwei Chief Zhou Yue, as well as the servants of Yongwang Mansion, these people seemed to be eager to tell Zhang Qigong to get out as soon as possible.

Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the reason why King Yong Zhao Yu ended up like that was all his fault, Zhang Qigong.

Zhang Qigong really felt wronged about this.

Perhaps seeing that Zhang Qigong's expression was a bit strange, Zhao Hongrun did not ask for details, changed the topic and said with a smile: "I have other plans for you, but since you are already here, why not just help with something."

After that, he ordered the young eunuch Gao Li behind him: "Gao Li, ask someone to move another table and prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones."

Hearing this, Zhang Qigong and the ministers in the palace were a little surprised.

Of course, accidents are accidents. Lin Yuyang, Li Liang and others are not unable to accept this matter - after all, what they hate is Zhang Qigong's character and utilitarianism, but they still highly recognize this man's talent.

What's more, after Zhang Qigong replaced them, he also handled government affairs well, at least he couldn't find any major problems.

Just looking at Zhang Qigong's joyful expression, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts: Why are you happy? It's just that His Highness the Crown Prince captured a young man.

After a while, Chui Gong Hall gradually became quiet, and only a few slight discussions could be heard occasionally.

Seeing that fewer and fewer memorials were piled up in the center of the inner hall, Zhao Hongrun secretly rejoiced: after he issued an edict to increase the authority of the six ministries of the imperial court, the number of memorials sent to Chui Gong Hall gradually became less and less.

Over time, this group of officials in the inner court were finally able to do things that truly suited their decision-makers, such as reforming the existing system, formulating Wei's development strategy, etc., instead of reviewing and reviewing memorials that could be solved by six ministers.

Of course, by then, His Highness the Crown Prince will be able to gradually get rid of the heavy government affairs and do what he wants to do.

I don’t know how long it took, but a soldier from the Imperial Guard came outside the palace to report: "His Royal Highness, the three generals Bailiba, Xu Yin, and Zhu Hai asked to see them. They said that it was His Royal Highness that you sent someone to summon them."

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said, "Please wait in the side hall. I will go there later."

"yes!"

After the imperial guard soldier left, Zhao Hongrun said hello to everyone in the hall.

Although they suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince was using excuses to get rid of the heavy memorial, this time, Du You, Li Liang, Lin Yuyang and others did not dare to stop him. After all, they could guess that since Baili Ba and Xu Yin were involved,

The three of them, Zhu Hai, must have something to do with the three armies: the Junshui Army, the Fenxing Army, and the Chenggao Army.

They just prayed from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that after the matter was resolved, His Royal Highness could return to Chui Gong Hall as soon as possible to continue handling government affairs, instead of taking the opportunity to be lazy.

A moment later, Zhao Hongrun met with the three generals Baili Ba, Xu Yin, and Zhu Hai in the side hall of Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Hongrun summoned these three generals mainly for two things.

First of all, it is to re-plan the three armies of Junshui Army, Chenggao Army and Fenxing Army.

Although Zhao Hongrun could understand the reason why the old prince Zhao Yu integrated these three armies into the Imperial Guard, he did not agree with this approach.

The reason is that doing so is simply a waste of the combat effectiveness of the elite army.

You must know that the Chenggao Army and the Fenxing Army both belong to the "border army" - the Chenggao Army was originally used to defend the Yinrong army in Sanchuan. Precisely because this army guarded the Chenggao Pass, the originally ferocious Jie When the tribesmen could not break through Chenggao Pass, they had no choice but to turn to Yishan, causing harm to the "Yangzhai" area. The Fenxing army was used to defend Western Chu, and the Baqian army was used by Wei to resist Chu. The important fortress army invaded by the Western Army. The fact that Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, failed to conquer Fenxing Fortress for ten years is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of this army.

As for the Dredging Army, it is actually not a pure Gyeonggi garrison. The original purpose of this army was to support local counties more quickly from the central government. It can be understood that in the Wei Dynasty, when the number of troops was not large at the beginning, In this country, this army is responsible for the task of "fighting fires."

Because of this, the Junshui Army has always been the leader of the "Six Garrison Battalions", and the equipment of the soldiers has always maintained the top level of the Wei State.

However, the old prince Zhao Yu merged these three elite armies into the Imperial Guards and became purely military guards. In Zhao Hongrun's view, it was a pity that the Imperial Guards were an army mainly responsible for maintaining public order.

The so-called good strength must be used on the edge of the sword. Of course, the most elite troops must be deployed in places where the country needs to show force most, such as Song County and the Hetao area.
