【late at night】
What else could it be for
Of course, it is because of the way of checks and balances under the emperor!
Sun Shaozong went south to quell the rebellion, and made extraordinary achievements; Sun Shaozu went to the northeast to train, and he made a lot of achievements at the meeting - the two brothers are now shining together, and it can be said that they are out of the limelight.
It's okay for the cheap big brother, after all, he is almost forty, and it is not an exaggeration to be the third-rank commander.
But Sun Shaozong was only in his early twenties, and he was already a high-ranking fourth-rank official now. If he were to be released to do something extraordinary, wouldn't he still be promoted to the third-rank
Then when he was thirty years old, Sun Shaozong should be qualified to be a six-department court official.
What about when you are thirty-five or forty years old
He is a martial artist who has not passed the imperial examination, can he still enter the cabinet
Therefore, without a clear statement from the court, Sun Shaozong knew that in recent years, unless there were special circumstances, he would definitely have missed the military exploits.
However, the big brother may have the opportunity to go further.
Of course, the second-rank Beijing-based official seal officer may not be able to be counted on, at most, the second-rank deputy.
However, these truths are not easy to make clear with Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan.
Especially Xue Pan, this fellow has always been unable to keep his mouth shut. If Sun Shaozong's words were spread out, the fun would be great.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong just used other reasons to prevaricate - for example, the emperor intended to let him make some achievements in Dali Temple, so he would not be allowed to give up halfway.
Liu Xianglian was still a little dubious, but Xue Pan, like a deflated ball, slumped onto the chair and muttered, "It's a shame I still want to kill the second brother with seven in and seven out."
"Come on you!"
Liu Xianglian dismantled the stage and said, "Second brother, that's fine, look in the mirror yourself, do you look like Zhao Zilong?"
"What doesn't it look like?"
Xue Pan pointed to his face: "The white-faced general, isn't that what Master Xue said?"
Well, although this guy was born with five and three thick, his skin color was fair and tight, and he and his mother, Aunt Xue, were in the same blood.
Just when Xue Pan was speechless, he heard footsteps coming from outside, followed by the respectful voice of a small official: "My lord, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture is asking to see you."
Jia Yucun is here
What is he doing now
Didn't someone have already sent someone to inform him and Jia She of the promise he got yesterday
I was suspicious, but since the dignified third-rank government official came to visit, and Sun Shaozong was in public and private, he was going to see him.
Therefore, he explained that Liu Xianglian and Xue Pan were free, and he went to the front hall to welcome the guests.
…
After a few greetings and the guests and hosts were seated, Sun Shaozong didn't bother to play dumb riddles with Jia Yucun, and asked straight to the point: "Brother came here early this morning. Could it be that there is something wrong with the news I sent to people last night?"
However, Jia Yucun shook his head and said sternly: "I came here today for my brother, for official business and state affairs, but not for selfishness."
Public affairs, state affairs
Sun Shaozong was a little inexplicable at first, then he leaned forward and said anxiously: "Isn't that the master of the black post, what's the amazing thing?!"
As for the official business that Jia Yucun can rush to find, it seems that this is the only one recently.
It was deduced before that Ding Xiu might have become the subordinate of the owner of the black post, and Sun Shaozong's vigilance against the owner of the black post was greatly increased.
Guyana Dingxiu is a rebellious person, and he has a lazy temperament. The master who can make him willing to run for several years is naturally not to be underestimated.
Hearing this, Jia Yucun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "My brother misunderstood, although I am here for official business, it is not the official business of Shuntian Prefecture, but the official business of the Ministry of War."
Military affairs
Hearing what he said, Sun Shaozong remembered that he also had the title of Minister of War.
It was the custom of serving as the minister of the six divisions concurrently, but it was just a name. What really needed to be worried about was the job of the Shuntian government.
Therefore, before Jia Yucun mentioned it, Sun Shaozong didn't think about it at all.
But now that he was reminded, Sun Shaozong couldn't help frowning and hesitantly said: "Brother, do you want to learn about the situation of the six countries in the southern border from me?"
An old official fox like Jia Yucun would naturally not be deceived by those rumors outside - so when he came to Sun Shaozong, he certainly did not expect Sun Shaozong to go south as a general.
After removing this point, Jia Yucun Baba came here for military affairs, so there is only one point left to inquire about the enemy's intelligence.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my virtuous brother."
Jia Yucun said, bowed his hands to the north, and said solemnly: "As the saying goes, the king's wealth is to share the king's worries, Yucun has been serving as the military minister for more than two years, but he has been eating vegetarian meals, and he is very uneasy. Change, just think about serving the country and the people, and do a little bit of my little effort.”
Immediately afterwards, he got up again and bowed to Sun Shaozong to the end: "So I also ask my wise brother to enlighten me."
hehe~
It's better to say than to sing. In the final analysis, don't you want to make some credits in the soldier section
However, since he was under the guise of 'serving the country and the people', Sun Shaozong was inconvenient to refuse—especially since this errand would definitely not fall on his own, and it would not be a loss to take some old news as a favor.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong briefly introduced to Jia Yucun what he had seen and heard in the Taoist country of Qianxiang.
"Qianxiang Country is the strongest among the six countries, but it is also checked and balanced by my Great Zhou the most, and the Zhenla Country was at a disadvantage at the beginning, so it was not taken care of by my Great Zhou."
"There is a feud between the country of Zhenla and the country of Qianxiang. If we really want to talk about it, it was only after Da Zhou intervened that the two families ended their feud..."
"In the Qianxiang country, both young and old all speak Chinese, while the other five countries still mainly use the southern border dialect..."
"Then the Queen of Qianxiang is very old, but the crown prince is still young, and she is still only fifteen years old - nominally the posthumous son of the old king, but the people of Qianxiang believe that he is the Prime Minister Nguyen Phuoc Trong and the Queen. illegitimate child."
Hearing Sun Shaozong talk about the private affairs of the Queen of Qianxiang Kingdom, Jia Yucun couldn't help shaking his head: "Sichen, the hen chicken, there will be chaos after a long time - plus the language barrier, it seems that the troops and horses of Qianxiang Kingdom are relatively weak. part of."
This is the same judgment as Sun Shaozong, but he still reminded: "Even so, Ruan Fuzhong is by no means an easy person. If you really underestimate Qianxiangguo, you may lose your way."
Jia Yucun nodded, and said again: "Trouble my brother, let's talk about the local customs, climate, and geography."
Although this old fox has a bad character, he still does things well.
But this time, he also reminded Sun Shaozong - although the court is unlikely to send him to fight in the south, it is still very possible to consult.
It seems that after sending Jia Yucun away, it is necessary to prepare early.
