Chapter 1135 Changshan enters the camp
As the highest decision-making body in Yedu today, the Supervisory Governor's Office of the State did not perform well enough for this level when it encountered a real test.
In the past few days, the Governor's Office has been busy investigating the crime committed by Gao Guiyan's family, King of Ping Qin. Zheng Zimo and other officials in the East Palace regarded this as an important political task and a face-saving project, and the case involving Gao Guiyan's family The work is too complicated, so most of the officials in the governor's office have recently devoted their energy to this.
When the news of the mutiny of the soldiers from the camps outside the city reached the Governor's Mansion, all the subordinate officials were immediately shocked. Zheng Zimo and others immediately complained to Yang Min after they realized it: "Yang Zunyan has always looked down upon him. How could you let something like this happen if you are above the top and don’t tolerate dissent?”
Complaining blindly will not help, and they have no experience in dealing with such major incidents. All they can think of at the moment is to notify and summon all the government officials, including the prince who has returned to the East Palace to rest, and discuss countermeasures together. .
"Does Mr. Yang have any instructions on this?"
Prince Gao Yin also had little opinion on such matters. Although he returned to the Governor's Mansion as soon as he learned of the incident, he asked questions after entering the hall.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall, including Chang Shi and Zhaojun Wang Gao Rui, frowned slightly. Song Qindao on the side said directly: "The Governor's Office and the Shangshu Province each have their own branches. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, naturally everything is done by the only one." His Majesty the Crown Prince's wishes will prevail. Yang Xianggong will be the minister of the province. He is already busy with cases, so there is no need to ask about the facts. "
In fact, before the prince returned to his office, someone from Shangshu Province had already conveyed Yang Min's instructions. However, everyone felt that this was somewhat inappropriate and might intensify the conflict and make the already tense and dangerous situation further out of control.
Secondly, they all felt that Yang Min's control was a bit lenient. Now that the prince oversees the country and is in charge of the military and government, facing such a situation, even if it is necessary to mobilize troops to suppress the chaos, the governor's office still needs to make the decision, and it is not the minister's turn yet. Just make irresponsible remarks.
What's more, the chaos this time was originally caused by the improper handling of matters by Shangshu Sheng. Yang Min caused the chaos and still ordered others to clean up the mess for him. There was something wrong with it.
Prince Gao Yin did not have such complicated inner emotions. He just wanted to solve the problem properly as soon as possible, so he asked again: "Then what can you and others do about this?"
"The soldiers mutiny in the camp, and once the situation gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous. We should take advantage of the fact that the situation is still under control and properly resolve it as soon as possible!"
Zheng Zimo, the official of the East Palace, said nonsense first, and then continued: "The reason why the soldiers mutinied was because of insufficient food supply. The reason can be investigated later. The immediate plan is to quickly replenish food to appease the crowd."
As soon as these words came out, Chief Shi Gaorui frowned and said: "The reason why the soldiers in the camp are short of food is because the treasury is lacking. Mr. Yang is shrewd and capable, but it is inevitable that he is lacking. Now, how can we find enough in the rush of the governor's office? To feed tens of thousands of troops?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was a little dumbfounded. They were able to talk eloquently if they were asked to talk some clichés and unrealistic route ideas, but when it came to practical issues, they were more or less at a loss. .
After a moment of silence, another subordinate officer, Song Qindao, spoke up and said: "Raising supplies for the garrison in Ji Nei is originally to save trouble for the minister. Something went wrong in the province today and the public was outraged. The officers and soldiers of all the camps called for King Changshan to come to see him. It is better to send Chang Shan to see him first. The mountain king went to appease the people and not cause chaos outside the camp, and then strictly ordered the minister to quickly raise materials and deliver them to the camps. "
"The rebels are as fierce as the bandits. Wouldn't it be too dangerous for King Changshan to go there?"
After Gao Yin heard this, he frowned and said that although his personality was not the opposite of his father's, it was still very different. He still had some hesitation about pushing his uncle into a dangerous military camp for no reason.
"The current situation is critical, and it is really not possible to make plans calmly. The king of Changshan is the head of the family and enjoys a great reputation in the world. Now that the soldiers in the camps have changed but are not in chaos, they are calling for help. It is appropriate for the king to go to appease the people. If the changes in the camps cannot be calmed down quickly , causing the soldiers in the camp to discuss it outside, the danger in the city will be no less dangerous than in the camp! "
Zheng Zimo also helped by saying that those who are capable work hard. Since King Changshan has a great reputation, he will naturally put it to use now.
Seeing that several subordinates all said this, Gao Yin nodded and said: "Then first call King Changshan into the house to ask. If he refuses, then make other plans. You can't force my uncle to put himself in danger. "
Gao Yin was still hesitating here, but he didn't know that Gao Yan was already gearing up and eager to try, and even the current situation was created by him and his disciples.
When the messenger from the Governor's Office came to Changshan Palace to summon him, Gao Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly became energetic. After some meaningful eye contact with the officials, he returned to his home and put on his new clothes. He put on a military uniform, and then, under the guidance of the envoy from the Governor's Mansion, he took a group of close followers and Liu Taozhi and other imperial guards and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.
When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Gao Yinzheng stood in front of the hall to greet him personally. He first briefly explained the current problem, and then said with some embarrassment that he hoped Gao Yan could go to the camps outside the city to appease the soldiers in the camps. .
"Since the prince has given an order, I should obey it. Without further ado, let's set off now!"
After hearing this, Gao Yan immediately expressed his stance.
Gao Yin was also greatly surprised by this straightforward attitude, and then he sighed again: "This is not a matter within my uncle's job, but now the incident happened suddenly and the situation is critical. I am the only one who can entrust important matters to my uncle!"
"If the armies are in chaos, the territory will be uneasy. This is my family's family matter, and I am naturally bound to do it!"
After hearing this, Gao Yan said with a righteous expression, and immediately looked at Gao Yin and said, "But I'm afraid I won't be able to resolve the matter properly on my own. Before leaving, I still hope that the prince can cooperate with some arrangements." thing."
Gao Yin was not sensitive enough to be wary of Gao Yan because of so-called family matters. After hearing this, he nodded quickly and said: "Uncle, please tell me, I will try my best to cooperate!"
"The king of Anding, He Baren, is the father of the country and an elder in the court. He was demoted by his majesty because of the defeat of his division. He is still here. He also enjoys a high reputation in the army. If you can go with me to comfort him, I think we can be more confident. Your Majesty, please be considerate of the old minister and give him a chance to make meritorious service!"
When Gao Yin nodded in agreement, Gao Yan immediately made his request.
Gao Yin frowned immediately after hearing this. Although he knew in his heart that he should do what was expedient, he still did not dare to disobey his father's order. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Uncle, it is dangerous to go here, so naturally we should Make comprehensive personnel arrangements. It is not my place to decide what happened to King An Ding, but if I can help my uncle calm down the riot, I will write a letter to the Supreme, hoping that the Supreme can exempt King An Ding from punishment. "
"Then I will thank His Highness the Crown Prince in advance for King Anding."
Gao Yan smiled slightly after hearing this. This was of course not his main purpose, but he still had to make a statement. He Baren was his key figure in taking advantage of the chaos to take charge of the army. Of course, he had to be temporarily rescued to act with him at this moment. After the deed was accomplished, why should he expect forgiveness from the father and son!
In addition to He Baren's incident, Gao Yan continued to make new suggestions: "Although I came to the camp to appease the people, this commotion had a cause after all, and I don't dare to expect that my few words can calm the crowd. I am safe for the capital." The plan is to gather all the people who are stationed in Ji Nei and gather them to obey orders. The generals of the imperial army may also be involved with the soldiers outside the city. In order to avoid internal and external connections that cause chaos, the authority should be consolidated into one and cannot be separated. action!"
"It's exactly what uncle said, and I'm planning to implement it. But in the past, most of the forbidden military forces were controlled by King Ping Qin. Now King Ping Qin is not in the capital, and there is no one who is qualified enough to control the armies. Does uncle have the ability to control the army?" Recommended?"
Gao Yin nodded after hearing this, and then asked again, and all the officials in the governor's office in the hall couldn't help but pricked up their ears, wanting to hear who King Changshan wanted to recommend.
Gao Yan looked around the hall for a week, and finally his eyes fell on Gao Rui, King Zhao, and said with a smile: "King Zhao is very talented and shrewd. He is often praised by the Supreme. Now he has been selected as the Superintendent of the Kingdom. He is suitable for taking up this position."
When Gao Rui heard that King Changshan recommended him, he quickly stood up and said a few words of humility. The prince also had this intention, so he directly authorized Gao Rui to temporarily control the imperial guards.
After recommending Gao Rui, Gao Yancai said: "The king of Xianyang, Hu Lu Mingyue, has a distinguished and talented general. He is currently living in Ji Nei. If Prince Zhao feels that the matter is difficult to handle, he can also discuss working with him."
Gao Rui had been modest before, and had just been recommended by Gao Yan to take charge of the Forbidden Army. After hearing this, he also agreed, hoping to take charge of the military affairs of the Forbidden Army together with Hu Luguang.
The prince had no doubt that he was there, and of course he had heard about Hu Luguang's reputation. The situation was urgent now, so the more such outstanding generals the better, so he nodded and agreed, and immediately sent an envoy to Hu Luguang's mansion to convey the order. .
After arranging the personnel within the capital, Gao Yan no longer stayed. After meeting He Baren who was released from the annex, he headed all the way to the military camp outside the city.
"Your Majesty, you are so audacious that you dare to take such risks in a vital place in the Kinai!"
He Baren vaguely knew Gao Yan's intentions. After learning about the current situation, he couldn't help but look at Gao Yan on the way and sighed.
After hearing this, Gao Yan smiled slightly and did not hide it. He just replied to He Baren: "Master He Bar doesn't know me well, that's why he has such doubts. It should be noted that I am not the same type as others. , I am no stranger to Emperor Taizu’s art of building affairs. Great achievements are coveted, so how can you spare your life when the time comes!”
