Prime Minister

Chapter 712
Zhang Yue, who received the seal of the economic envoy the next day, immediately took office in the Baihu Festival Hall.

During the Tang Dynasty, when the missions were sent abroad, the emperor would bestow them with banners and obtain autocratic military affairs.

This is to build festivals when walking, six banners on the mansion tree, and six banners on the festival are all erected in the White Tiger Festival Hall. This represents the majesty of the Jiedushi, so it is called an important place.

Although Jinglue envoys are better than Jiedu envoys, the emperor will not bestow Jingjie. However, in front of the Xihe Road Jinglue envoy Baihu Jietang, there is still a handsome flag and a large banner. At the same time, the pillars, dougongs, and railings are all painted with green paint.

In the Song and Ming dynasties, the color of blue and blue is the color of the residences of officials of the first and second ranks.

In Water Margin, when Lin Chong entered the White Tiger Hall by mistake, he saw a group of green railings, and was almost killed by Gao Lian afterwards.

It's not that Zhang Yue puts on airs as an envoy of economic strategy, the airs are for people to see.

There are too many ordinary people who don't know majesty, high and low, and the military and officialdom are places where dignity and dignity are extremely important, so various means must be used to demonstrate these.

All the generals and officials on Xihe Road came to pay homage, and the civil servants and military generals all held a manuscript, and stood on the steps under the eaves with the words "Baihu Festival Hall" written on the eaves forehead.

When it was his turn, he announced his name aloud, and then went to the court room and crossed his hands to Zhang Yue who was sitting high in the White Tiger Hall, and others handed over the manuscript.

The so-called manuscript is also called the calendar manuscript.

Every official in the Song Dynasty would go to Nancao, the Ministry of Officials, to get a calendar at the beginning of his tenure as an official. This calendar is equivalent to today's files.

Generally, when a new Shangguan is appointed, the officials below must present a calendar to the Shangguan for review. Firstly, it is to show you my details, and secondly, I hope that you can write a few good words on my calendar in the future.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, although there were no calendars, this practice was still popular in official circles, and officials had to hold their notebooks when they visited Shangguan.This manuscript contains my surname and name, how many years I have been promoted, how many years I have been a Jinshi, how many times I got in the imperial examination, and my resume as an official.

At the same time, this calendar is also a certificate for officials to receive official salaries. In another time and space history, Cheng Yi used commoner worship as a storyteller for the Chongzheng Palace. Calendar can be said.

Zhang Yue sat at the main seat, Wang Shao, who was appointed on the same day, sat on his right side, and Gao Zunyu sat on the left side. The three of them looked at the calendars and handbooks of civil servants and generals one by one.

The White Tiger Hall is the place of the festival town, and even Cai Yanqing, the court attendant, did not come this day.As a transfer, he will not be restrained by Zhang Yue, but he will not come here to make fun of it.

Only Qin Fenglu took the horse and accepted Li Xian, but he sat here swaggeringly, and he could only say that he was amazing.

After seeing all the civil officials and military generals, they were listed in the account one by one.

Zhang Yue immediately read out the imperial decree and promoted officials and ranks to everyone one by one.

For example, Jing Sili under the jurisdiction of Qianhe Road, Miao Shou, the deputy envoy of Beiku, Wang Cunwei, Wang Junwan, the Hou of Hemendi, Han Cunbao, the left servant, and Wei Qi, the Zuodian banzhi, etc., were all awarded for their meritorious service.

Zhang Sai, who was originally from the Guangrui Army, was also promoted from the palace attendant to the third class as a borrower, and has the qualifications to enter the White Tiger Hall.

These people all followed Zhang Yue and Wang Shao in the bloody battlefield, and now with Xihe's conquest, they all received rewards one by one.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were promoted along with a large number of people.

The so-called attainment of Tao by one person means that chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

The generals who had just been transferred from Qinfeng Road were all very jealous. They missed Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's battle to open up Xihe, so they had to watch these people eat meat.

After reading out the imperial edict, Zhang Yue said to him: "This river, Tao, and Min prefectures belong to our Xihe Road, but they have not been recovered. Now His Majesty has an order to let my Xihe Road Economic Strategy and Appeasement Division decide on the spot. Conquering He, Tao, and Minzhou, there is no need to apply for a reply, so as not to be too detailed and hinder the matter."

In addition to Xizhou, Lanzhou, Huizhou, and Tongyuan Army, the Xihe Road Economic and Strategic Appeasement Division also includes Hezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou.

However, Hezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou are still on the books, but the slogan has already been shouted.

Now that nearly [-] troops from Qinfeng Road and [-] archers from Jingyuan Road have entered Zhang Yue's tent, it is imperative to attack these three prefectures next.

Wang Shaodao: "I would like to lead an army across the Tao River, break Xiangzi City first, and then go down to Hezhou!"

Zhang Yue said: "Xiangzi City is a place where large armies come and go, so you can base yourself in Hezhou."

Gao Zunyu said: "I heard that Xia State has been very busy recently. Lanzhou Fanbu reported that Western soldiers had crossed the Yellow River. I don't know how many there are. Yesterday in Kanggu City, it was reported that there were five or six thousand horses from Xixia."

Hearing Gao Zunyu's words, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling sick like eating flies.

When they first attacked Tiandu Mountain, both Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were willing to go, but Gao Zunyu said that he would please guard the rear and refused to take risks.Afterwards, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao succeeded in attacking, but Gao Zunyu blamed the two for not giving him the credit.

Now it is imperative to cross the Taohe River to attack Muzheng, but Gao Zunyu also said that Xixia soldiers and horses are haunting Lanzhou and Huizhou, which seems to have the intention of invading south.

But Zhang Yue and Wang Shao had never heard of anyone reporting this matter to them, but Gao Zunyu emphasized that there was definitely something, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, but if he asked him to come up with the source of the news, he would refused to speak.

"What about Director Gao's opinion?" Wang Shao sneered.

Gao Zunyu said solemnly: "I think that things should be done step by step. After the ancient Weizhai was built, it was possible to defeat the Wu Sheng army in one fell swoop. It is all thanks to this strength. Now that the soldiers are not enough, the food is not enough, once the land of the counties is over, Ruomu will conquer If we block its vital points, our army will gain nothing in advance, and nothing in retreat, and that's the end of it."

"That's why I thought that the soldiers and horses have not been trained yet, so we should guard the city carefully, and wait until the soldiers and horses are sufficient."

After Gao Zunyu finished speaking, many generals echoed him. The other party was the military commander of Xihe Road, and all the generals below were controlled by him. Even if Jing Sili was willing to cross the river with Wang Shao, he dared not speak out.

Of course, Zhang Yue could also use his status as an envoy to force Gao Zunyu to fight, but Zhang Yue didn't use this last resort unless it was absolutely necessary.

When Gao Zunyu saw that Wang Shao was angry, he was very happy from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Li Xian spoke bad things about him in the memorial to the officials, which caused him to lose his position as the appeasement envoy of the Xihe Road Economic Strategy. Concerned about Empress Dowager Gao's face.

Who told me that I was the natal family of the official family.

Anyway, Gao Zunyu is happy to see Wang Shao like this.

But Zhang Yue said: "It's okay, Director Gao said that the soldiers are not good enough now, and the food is not enough. It's time to train soldiers and horses on Xihe Road. I agree with this statement."

Gao Zunyu stroked his beard and smiled, "It's easy to talk about."

Zhang Yuedao: "just yesterday Cai Caoshuai also discussed with me about the general's art of war. He said that the officials had followed Cai Shuxiang's intention to disarm and set up troops in Hebei, so he asked us if Xihe Road would follow? So that the officials and Wang Xianggong Appreciate."

"Now I hear that Director Gao coincides with each other, so I will play this general's art of war in Xihe!"

What Zhang Yue meant, anyway, the military power is not mine, so you, Gao Zunyu, don't want it either.

And Gao Zunyu didn't know what the art of war was, and he was in a daze at the moment.

Ps: The map of Xixia has uploaded the Easter egg chapter of this book, you can read it.At the same time, the original name of Dingxi City in Huizhou was Xishi City. Dingxi City was changed after the Song army captured it. It was called Xishi City at that time. I looked at the map at that time and did not investigate its source. Let me explain the mistakes and omissions.
