Chapter 51 Right-hand man
"You want to be my minister?"
Zhao Guangmei was very surprised: "You have been inspected now. Will you be my minister? Isn't it useless to be a vague person? The world is in chaos now, and it is the time for a good general like you to use his skills. At my age, when I really go to the battlefield, it may be many years later, and I may not be going to the battlefield. If you follow me, will your future be ruined?"
"Now, the people of Kaifeng are rumoring that you are a person who pacified troubled times. If you are lucky enough to follow Your Highness, how can you have a fortune in these three lives without a future?"
But when he saw Yang Ye on the side, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "If Your Highness does not abandon you, Yang is willing to follow Your Highness and please be the minister of the palace."
I was afraid that Pan Mei would steal his quota.
Then I saw Pan Mei and Yang Ye looking at each other. Where their eyes met, it seemed as if there was an electric current fighting in the air.
Zhao Guangmei was amused and crying: "Old Yang, why are you messing around? You two are both generals of tigers. You should have been roaring at the mountains and forests. Where is there any reason to stay by my side as a hawk? Get up, otherwise I will be angry."
Hearing this, Pan and Yang stood up reluctantly.
"Sit down and don't just give such a big gift at any time. I'll make tea for you."
He really dared not use these two people. In history, in another ten years, Pan Mei would have almost won the title of being the best in the world, while Yang Ye was the best in the world.
Of course, Yang Ye's title was earned in the Northern Han Dynasty in history. He could only defend the national strength of the Northern Han Dynasty and did not have the opportunity to attack. Pan Mei has always been conquering the southern countries, and no one gave him the opportunity to defend. The two of them never touched each other, and saw whether the spear was more sharp or the shield was stronger.
But in short, these two people attacked and defended were almost recognized by history. The two people who were the best at fighting in the world during the early Song Dynasty were all powerful generals.
What kind of virtue is Zhao Guangmei? Let the talent of the most war-going general in the world be his prefecture? He is his prefecture. What they can do is just guards or run errands. At least before Zhao Guangmei personally goes to the battlefield to fight, there must be a pearl covering the dust.
Isn’t this equivalent to being digging for the big brother? This is the loss of the Song Dynasty.
My brother’s will be my own in the future, and the Song Dynasty will be my own in the future. So what is my goal?
Of course, Zhao Guangmei also understood their ideas. Pan Mei had no backstage and no good father, so she was not considered a general. It was actually difficult to make a name for herself. He really had no foundation. His current position was actually similar to the military supervisor.
Although the military supervisor and military supervisor turned to become a general while he was in charge of the supervision, he turned his arms and sleeves and turned into a general, such things were everywhere in the early Song Dynasty, but it was indeed true that his lack of foundation in the army was true.
This kind of general who lacks foundation and is promoted entirely by the superiors is actually a little weak in the imperial guards, and he has almost no direct subordinates under his command, so it is naturally difficult to have a chance to make a comeback. If nothing unexpected happens, he will only be in the middle-level general circle for a long time, and will be in the first army commander, and then he may be able to stay up for another ten or eight years before he can become a military governor, and then he may end up in the end. No matter how high a position is, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, Gao Huaide and Shi Shouxin are all top generals who have already opened the palace and the festival before they reach the age of 30. If they are normal, when will they be able to get rid of them?
Yang Ye's situation is similar to his.
Turning around to be Zhao Guangmei's secret residence is actually not a shortcut.
Zhao Kuangyin himself was Chai Rong's minister, so Chai Rong was quickly valued after he took office. After making his mark in the Battle of Gaoping, he appointed him to establish the Palace Front Session. Although the boss of the Palace Front Session in those years was Zhang Yongde, in fact, Zhao Kuangyin's people were all from inside and outside the Palace Front Session.
In fact, the young and overly senior generals in the imperial guards are also all the ministers of Chai Rong's hidden residence.
Zhao Pu and Li Chuyun, who are currently in charge of the Privy Council, are Zhao Kuangyin's ministers, and this is also considered his ministers in his intimate residence.
Since the Five Dynasties, the rituals and music have collapsed. Even if they pass the throne normally, there will be chaos. For example, Guo Wei passed on Chai Rong, who was a serious father and son who succeeded him. However, after Chai Rong took office, he still had a major change of blood for the veterans left by Guo Wei, and even severely suppressed the Guards Division left by Guo Wei and established the Palace Front Division.
The same is true for Zhao Er in history. After ascending the throne, a large number of ministers from the residence were in control of the imperial guards. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the imperial guards would not have declined so quickly.
This is a chaotic world that has never been seen in the messenger for more than two thousand years. Naturally, the rules and culture that have never been seen in two thousand years will be born. Being loyal to the emperor does not mean being loyal to the emperor's son. So naturally, the ministers left by my father to me may not be my ministers.
This is the role model of the predecessors, so it is natural for these two middle-level generals who have no foundation in the army and have a connection with Zhao Guangmei to be his ministers. Zhao Guangmei clearly wants to compete for the throne. Although Zhao Guangmei has Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Dezhao, at least everyone in the world admits that he has a great chance, and both of them are willing to bet on this.
After thinking about it, Zhao Guangmei said, "Pan Mei, what are your words?"
"My word is...uh...what do I word is?"
I have long since paid much attention to the fact that I chose characters during the Five Dynasties, especially Pan Mei's origins are usually not a good father. Although she did give herself a word a few years ago, no one called her for too long, and he even forgot about it.
"Forget it, I'll call you Lao Pan from now on, okay?"
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Don't be so formal, and don't be so nervous. Come and drink tea, let me explain first. It's impossible for me to accept you as my ministers. It's not that I look down on you, but because I'm so embarrassed."
Pan Mei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Guangmei: "But I am very happy, and even honored that you can recognize me. If you don't dislike me, I will be very happy that you are doing things for me."
"Well... Lao Pan, you are back here to hand in the office. Have you got a new job?"
"I haven't officially arrived yet. I heard... I might ask me to go to Yuezhou or Fengxiang to do inspections or even to supervise the military."
"That is, it's not bad for the time being, right? Then follow us to do things for the time being, okay?"
"It is an honor for His Highness to send a low position."
"Well, then you can build a pergola with us first. You two will know each other. This is Yang Ye, the Yang family general in Linzhou. You should have heard of him. Yang Ye, this is Pan Mei. He persuaded Yuan Yan to surrender alone. My elder brother praised him for his courage and strategy and his talent. From today on, you will be my right-hand man. It's a pity that my current status is not suitable. Otherwise, I would have wanted to become sworn brothers with you."
"By the way, if you two want to become sworn brothers, you must be as early as possible. It won't take long for my brother to issue a decree to prohibit soldiers from becoming sworn brothers."
