1859. Appointment by appointment
"Mr. Su, the emperor summons you to the imperial study."
Su Liuyi and Su Quandang and Zhou Qianluo had just left the court. Before they could walk out of the yard of the Law Department, eunuchs came over.
Su Liuyi was slightly stunned, then nodded and said to Zhou Qianluo: "You can take him back first!"
Then he followed the eunuch out.
When I arrived at the gate of the Military Academy, I found Zhang Jue, Zhong Jian and others waiting here.
Zhang Jue smiled and said to Su Liuyi: "Mr. Su is out."
Obviously, they were waiting for Su Liuyi here, and they were also going to meet Zhao Dongting in the imperial study room.
Su Liuyi couldn't help but be stunned again, and then forced a smile and said, "Best-in-law, you are all going to see the emperor, right?"
Zhang Jue, Zhong Jian and others nodded indeed.
Everyone here is a member of the military aircraft cabinet. Going to see Zhao Dongting at the same time is no different from opening a regular meeting of the military aircraft cabinet.
The group was led by their father-in-law into the palace and then to the imperial study room.
By then, more than ten officials were sitting outside the imperial study room, namely officials of the Ministry of Social Security, the Ministry of War and the Xinli Royal Military Academy.
There are also generals in the Imperial City with the title of deputy commander or above.
Among them, these assistant ministers and deputy commanders were all added later. The former marshal-level cabinet ministers were now renamed the Executive cabinet ministers.
"All my dear friends are here!"
Zhao Dongting sat directly above. When he saw Zhang Jue and the others coming in, he nodded at them and said.
The outside of the Imperial Study Room is large and has a long solid wood table.
Zhang Jue, Su Liuyi and others are the most experienced, and they are willing to sit down at the top and left and right positions. Below is the current military aircraft deputy commander.
He was the former one who took over Zhang Jue's squad. He was in charge of logistics affairs in the Song Dynasty army. He was not famous, but had a high qualification.
Next are Zhong Jian, Minister of Social Security Xiao Xianzhong and others.
The generals at the deputy commander-level who were in charge of the Provincial Logistics Department of Military Mechanism and other positions went backwards in turn.
They all sat down, and there were still many seats left.
Zhang Polu served next to Zhao Dongting and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are all here."
Zhao Dongting said again: "I am here today. There are two things that I need to vote for by all my dear friends. First, who will temporarily take over the position of marshal of Jiankang Military Region? Second, the military aircraft that was undecided a few days ago is the candidate for the deputy military aircraft of the military aircraft that was undecided a few days ago, and it is time to vote today."
Everyone here nodded.
Zhao Dongting said: "Then let's start!"
He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank a sip of tea, "First vote on who will temporarily take over the post of Marshal of Jiankang Military Region. The soldiers of Jiankang Military Region are still at the forefront of the confrontation between the two countries. My idea is to avoid the problem of unfamiliarity in command, the acting marshal selected from the remaining generals of the generals of the Jiankang Military Region."
"emperor……"
Zhong Jian sighed lightly, "The deputy commander of Jiankang Military Region and Du Yuhou..."
The deputy commander of the Jiankang Military Region and Du Yuhou were both killed in the Battle of Shenxianling, and are now all in a vacant state.
Zhao Dongting said: "Let's not make an appointment for the time being, let's talk about it when the war is over."
After the Kaifeng Prefecture Battle, there were not many soldiers left in the Jiankang Military Region. In fact, he was just looking for someone who could temporarily maintain the status of the Jiankang Military Region.
Because the position is too big, it is not easy to directly hand it over to Wen Tianxiang to arrange it.
As for the position of the general president below, there is no problem after the marshal is determined.
Eunuch Liu held a stack of paper in his hand and put down one in front of everyone.
The above is the list of the remaining generals of the general president-level generals in the Jiankang Military Region. To be precise, it is the list of remaining senior generals at the senior generals.
There are so few, only five names. Apart from Wenqi, Yu Xingwen, and Lu Yuwen, there are only the main staff officers of the Jiankang Military Region and the main logistics general.
According to age, of course, Yu Xingwen, who is fifty years old, is most qualified. But according to background, it should be based on literary origin.
After all, Wen Qi's father was Wen Tianxiang, with a good root. Yu Xingwen and Lu Yuwen eventually joined the Yuan Dynasty with Lu Wenhuan.
Another thing is that Wen Qi is the chief commander of the Tiangang Army of the Ace Army, and he had briefly served as the marshal before. After Zhang Jue and others voted, there was no surprise.
Wen Qi almost got unanimous votes.
Zhao Dongting had no objection, and after reading it, he said, "Then General Wen will temporarily take over the post of Marshal of the Jiankang Military Region."
Then there is a vote on who will take over as the vacant military order.
This position is undoubtedly much more important than acting as the Marshal of the Jiankang Military Region. Because the latter still has the word "agent" after all, it is only temporary.
The former only needs to be determined and can take office, becoming the second most powerful figure in the Song Dynasty's army to Wen Tianxiang.
Before, the military aircraft cabinet had always had differences in its opinions. This time, Zhao Dongting had to make a decision.
As for the candidate, it has been decided before. Only those who are qualified to take over the deputy military order are at the marshal level in the army.
Then there are the Minister of War Zhong Jian and the Minister of Social Security Xiao Xianzhong.
Because the front line was a tense moment of confrontation with the Yuan army, only the generals and officials in Changsha City were included in the alternative scope.
The military personnel with veteran qualifications and high reputation are on the front line. The two candidates who were stalemates in the past few times were actually Zhong Jian and Xiao Xianzhong, two people who did not belong to the military personnel.
The people who supported the two were actually clearly distinguished.
Those who support Zhong Jian are mostly young and middle-aged people in the court, while those who support Xiao Xianzhong are mostly senior factions.
Now the two factions are complicated, and the various relationships are confused and cannot be clearly understood. But neither the younger ones are the younger ones, and the older ones are the senior ones.
For example, Su Liuyi, and even their entire Su family were vaguely centered on Su Quandang. In fact, they were considered a young and strong school.
Soon the room became lively.
The sergeants of each cabinet were in stalemate between Zhong Jian and Xiao Xianzhong. Only Zhong Jian, Xiao Xianzhong and Su Liuyi remained silent.
"Okay!"
About ten minutes passed, Zhao Dongting waved his hand with a smile. The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone put their eyes on him.
Zhao Dongting then looked at Su Liuyi and said, "Su Aiqing, why don't you tell me your opinion?"
He had never asked Su Liuyi what he meant before.
This time, I don’t know why I suddenly asked Su Liuyi. This made everyone’s eyes flash with thoughtful expressions.
Su Liuyi, who was always in a daze, seemed to come back to his senses, slowly turned his head to look at Zhao Dongting, and said, "Old minister recommends...Zhong Shangshu."
He still insisted on his previous meaning. Although he didn't say it a few times before, he had expressed to Zhao Dongting the idea that Zhong Jian was able to take over a long time ago.
Of course, at that time, he was just saying that he was capable. What he thought most was his nephew Su Quandang to take over his work.
Until now, Su Quandang is no longer possible. It is completely reasonable for him to recommend Zhong Jian.
His statement also means that the young and strong officials who have been relying on by Zhao Dongting but are still being trained and have not entered the center have taken this most critical step.
