Prime Minister

Chapter 728 Tweet
On the long steps in front of the Chongzheng Hall, a thousand warriors of the Golden Temple lined up on both sides holding bone flowers.

On the left and right sides of the main hall, there are bells called Lu Qiming.

As the drums sounded, Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, Feng Jing, Wu Chong, Cai Ting and other ministers dressed in auspicious uniforms led all the officials to the hall to congratulate the officials.

Wang Anshi said loudly: "Zhang Yue, Wang Shao entered Hezhou, conquered Xiangzi City, won the first battle in Jingniu Valley, all the Qiangs surrendered, Mu Zheng fled far away, and restored our homeland in Hezhou. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

All the officials bowed together and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty!"

The official family in a red robe walked down the imperial steps and said to Wang Anshi and the officials: "This is for the chief executives to strategize, and the generals will use their lives. What does it matter to me?"

Wang Anshi said again and again: "Your Majesty, Xihe's contribution is unprecedented in modern times, second only to the act of pacifying the Southern Tang Dynasty and accepting the Northern Han Dynasty. Your Majesty's divine calculations have determined that everything can be done. Since the ancestors, every county and county courtier has celebrated it. Your Majesty does not need to congratulate you."

The official said: "It is still young for me to ascend the throne, and how dare I compare myself with my ancestors in terms of talent?"

Wang Anshi said: "There are rumors both at home and abroad that things in Hezhou are not right. Congratulations are a relief. I hope Your Majesty will receive the congratulations!"

No matter how Wang Anshi tried to persuade him, the officials refused to say: "Wait until Hehuang is swept away and Mu Zheng bows his head before entering the celebration."

Wang Anshi was relieved to hear this. In fact, since Taizong, the Great Song Dynasty has not expanded the territory in a substantial sense several times, but lost a lot of land.

The officials did not capture Mu Zheng alive, swept Hehuang and refused to accept congratulations from the officials. This spirit was indeed far better than that of previous generations of emperors.

Wang Anshi said: "Then wait for the construction of Hezhou City, and please accept the congratulations from your Majesty."

The official immediately agreed.

Wang Anshi said: "Hexi Xinzhu was given the name, Zhongshu proposed that Noke City was given the name of Dingqiang City, Xiangzi City was given the name of Ninghe Village, Kangle City was given the name of Kangle Village, and Liujiachuan Fort was given the name of Dangchuan Fort. State rule."

The name was changed and the name was given to show the imperial line. This land has since entered the territory of our Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi presented the drafted invitation letter.

"Zunzuo." The official immediately granted permission, and immediately took the jade seal from the servant and stamped it heavily on the imperial edict.

At the moment when the officials held the seal, all the officials witnessed three consecutive shouts of long live here!

Zhang Zhi, who is at the end of the palace and has been promoted to Taichangcheng, can't help but see the official family now with tears in his eyes, secretly happy for his childhood friend.

The official family stood in the hall and accepted the call of the hundred officials boldly.

Watching this scene, the officials suddenly remembered that when he came to the throne, Fu Bi advised him not to talk about military affairs for 20 years.

But what about now?

Of course, Fu Bi's loyalty to the country cannot be doubted, but how much the officials hope that he can come here today to see this scene.

There are also ministers such as Sima Guang, Lu Hui, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Lu Gongzhu.

The officials have bright eyes. From the difficult steps at the beginning of the ascension to the treacherous and obstructed people at the beginning of the reform, when the soldiers retreated, they were full of doubts, and then when they broke through Tiandu Mountain, they were at a loss when there was no news from Xiangzi City. Overcoming Hezhou's full plate is alive...

This journey was like wading across a river at night, step by step, he walked like this... There was such a person beside him to help him walk over.

This official will never forget.

After the Sanctuary.

All the ministers entered the back hall to meet the emperor.

Wang Anshi said: "At the beginning of Hezhou's recovery, Your Majesty asked the officials to wait for the certificate of merit to be rewarded quickly. The ministers and others listed Zhang Yue as a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, Wang Shao was promoted to Baowen Pavilion, and Cai Yanqing added a patent. "

At the beginning, according to Zhang Yue's meritorious service, Wang Shao was second, and Cai Yanqing was third. Zhang Yue became a direct bachelor and ranked third rank. Logically speaking, it is very good.

However, Cai Yanqing was promoted to Zhi Zhi Gao almost without doing anything, it was too unfair for Zhang Yue and Wang Shao to sacrifice their lives.

The official still asked: "Why did you only promote Zhang and Wang to the post of the museum, but not the official? And why didn't you tweet favor this time?"

Wang Anshi said: "Xizhou was already generously rewarded, but now the capture of Hezhou is no less successful than Xizhou, but there should be no more generous rewards."

Cai Ting also came out of the squad and said: "When Xizhou was first established, Zhang and Wang succeeded with difficulty. Now that they have spent so much money and food from the imperial court, they cannot be rewarded equally."

The official said: "The later achievements are not as good as the previous ones. I am afraid that the officers and men will be disappointed and lose their aggressiveness. It is okay if the official position is not promoted, but favors are inevitable."

Feng Jingdao: "Zhang Yue's nephew, Zhang Zhike, pushed En Jia Youzhengyan, and Zhang Yue's eldest son, Zhang Genjia, became Fengli Lang of Taichang Temple."

The official said: "Zunzuo, add a chapter to tell the story of Chongzheng Hall. You don't need to talk about my decision on this matter."

Wang Anshi originally wanted to object to Zhang Zhi's storytelling for the Chongzheng Palace, but the official talk was all about this, so he had no choice but to let it go.

Cai Ting said: "Our army now has the victory in Hezhou, and has won many battles. If we continue to advance, I am afraid that our soldiers will be exhausted. It was like this when Emperor Taizong captured Hedong and took Youzhou again. This is the case. Please use Jingyuan Road His soldiers and horses will replace him."

All Zai Zhi took a look at Cai Ting, this was his little plan.

The other party used to be the manager of Jingyuan Road, so the Jingyuan Road people are all his old troops.

However, what Cai Ting said was very reasonable, and he also cited the example of Taizong's defeat in Youzhou.It was not easy for everyone to refute for a while.

Wu Chong said: "Perhaps the soldiers in front have never thought this way. You can ask the soldiers what they want. If you want to return, you will return, and if you don't want to return, you will stay."

The official said: "It should be so."

Cai Ting said again: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has only been in Xihe for two years, and he has pacified Huizhou, Tongyuan Army, Xizhou, Hezhou, and Lanzhou. The minister thinks that Zhang Yue should be called back to Beijing to receive a reward and consult with the military. In the future, whether it is war or peace with the Tibetan tribe, he should listen to his opinion on how to deal with the party."

The officials hesitated after hearing the words.

Wu Chong said: "Is it possible to change generals just before the battle?"

Cai Ting said: "We have never changed generals. Now that we have newly acquired Hezhou, we can no longer talk about marching troops. Otherwise, it will easily lead to the defeat of Youzhou in the past. Zhang Yue will be called back to Beijing. Even if the soldiers have enough rest, it is also the meaning of rewarding talents."

Wu Chong said: "Hezhou Xinke and the Fan tribe may not all surrender. At this time, important ministers like Zhang Yue are needed to sit here to appease several states. If Zhang Yue returns to Beijing, what should I do if there is any mistake in Hezhou?"

Cai Ting said: "Zhang Yue, Wang Shaozuo said that he had already pacified Hezhou, so how can there be any repetitions of the Fan tribe? If there is a repetition of the Fan tribe, it means that Hezhou is not in peace. Why do you want to recover Hezhou? Besides, Zhang Yue is not there. Hezhou, but there are still Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu, and Cai Yanqing three generals in charge, even if there is anything, it is enough to deal with it."

"If the imperial court settles down a place, they will have a general stationed there in case of accidents. What's the difference between this and the Jiedushi back then?"

What Cai Ting said touched the root.

The officials present understood it as soon as they heard it.

Generals stationed in a place for a long time, it is easy to support troops and self-respect. This is what the Song Dynasty has always been on guard against, and it is not a permanent position in terms of economic strategy. It is just that there is a war in this place, and the court sent you there temporarily.Once the war is over, this dispatch will be removed.

In order to prevent the troubles of the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty worked hard on the system.

Even the officials remembered what Wang Yu said when he was lecturing, and said aloud: "I haven't seen Zhang Qing for a long time, and I miss Zhang Qing very much, so I asked him to return to Beijing to report on his work!"
