Prime Minister

Chapter 826 Lead the shore of the soil, could it be a royal minister

The Yellow River flows eastward, and suddenly meets the Taohe River, which flows from the south to the north.

Zhang Yue inspected the farmland in Hezhou, while the staff chatted with each other.

Looking at the crystal clear water of the Yellow River, they talked about the source of the Yellow River, followed the upstream of the Yellow River, and arrived at Jishi Mountain.It is generally accepted that Dayu also started to govern the Yellow River from this section, and only then did the human history of this land come into being.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty once set up a town here, called the Jishi Army, and the famous general Ge Shuhan of the Later Tang Dynasty was here to protect the Tubo cavalry who broke through the wheat harvest and came to the grass valley.

Now Zhang Yue heard that Dong Zhan had General Leng Jipu lead his army to station near Jishi Mountain to support Gui Zhang's troops.

And the vicinity of Jishi Mountain is also easy to store grain, otherwise Tubo would not have regarded it as a "Tubo grain village".

Two days later, Zhang Yue arrived at Hezhou City after inspecting the fields.

Zhang Yu and Bao Shun welcome Zhang Yue into the city.

Zhang Yu reported to Zhang Yue: "Commander, Lang Gezhan defected to our army and brought a message that Xi Bawen also came to Hezhou City secretly from Xige City of the Jishi Army and asked the commander To restore the country for it?"

Rejuvenation?

Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh and said, "What kind of monarch is he, Xi Bawen?"

Zhang Yu said: "What the commander-in-chief said is very true. The Tibetans don't know what is good or bad, and they think that we can't go deep into Taozhou and accumulate stones, so we still have to rule them with restraints as before."

Zhang Yue said: "They didn't know the best, so they saw this Xi Bawen."

Xi Bawen was the original owner of the Guizhang tribe, but after he was driven out by Guizhang, he went to the Jishi Army, and even defected to Huangtou Huihe as far as he could.Although he is wandering around, he is a noble family like him, and he has loyal retainers and servants to follow wherever he goes.

Even if you are in trouble, you will be treated as a guest everywhere you go.

As soon as Xibawen saw Zhang Yue, he bowed down and said in stammering Chinese: "Bian servant Bojie didn't know the strength of the Song Dynasty, so he raised troops to fight against the heavenly soldiers. I, Xibawen, would like to follow the commander and attack this thief. Afterwards, please ask the commander-in-chief to play the emperor of the Ming and Song Dynasties to restore me to the position of leader."

Zhang Yue asked back: "You said that Bian Bo is disobedient and has a rebellious heart? I have never seen it. Next year, I plan to protect the emperor and give him an official rank."

Upon hearing this, Xi Bawen hurriedly said: "There is absolutely nothing wrong with this matter. Several leaders of my confidant clans came to tell me secretly that the side servant Bojie planned to betray Song Dynasty."

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "This is just your one-sided opinion. Now I have not grasped the fact that Bian Bojie intends to rebel, so I suddenly came to a conclusion. If you really forced the loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty, who will bear the result?"

Xi Bawen raised his head and said: "Since the commander-in-chief doesn't believe it, then I have no choice but to leave, but I want to tell the commander-in-chief that you will definitely regret today's carelessness in the future."

After speaking, Xi Bawen really got up and left without looking back.

Zhang Yue looked at the back of the other party and didn't stay.

After a while, Xi Bawen turned his head and returned to the hall again. Zhang Yue poured him a cup of tea and said, "I can help you fight against the side servant Bojie, but from now on you will be a Han official, not some Tibetan leader."

"Do you still think that your Qingtang and Tibetan tribe can become a country of their own in Taozhou?"

The muscles on Xiba Wen's face twitched, but Zhang Yue stood up and knocked on his back with a folding fan, saying: "Under the whole world, is it the king's land; on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."

"Under the feet of my Great Song Emperor, do you dare to enshrine the border? How many lives do you have? If you agree, drink this tea, and if you don't agree, go out."

Zhang Yue silently added a sentence in his stomach, and then he will send him with a sword.

Xi Bawen hesitated for a moment, thinking that this Han official could lie about promising me to restore the country, but told the truth, he seemed to be a hero.Now that Muzheng has surrendered, I will descend to Song Dynasty too.

Xi Bawen thought of this, and immediately took a sip of tea.

After Xiba Wen surrendered to the Song Dynasty, Zhang Yue immediately asked the other party for an official position.

However, Xibawen's imperial edict has not yet arrived, but the imperial court suddenly issued an edict to appoint Li Hao as the capital of Xihe Road.

Zhang Yue was surprised by this incident.

Because before leaving Beijing to take office, the emperor had promised himself that all the civil and military officials of Xihe Road were appointed by himself, and the imperial court would not interfere with the personnel affairs of Xihe Road.

But Li Hao's sudden appointment as the capital of Xihe Road broke the tacit understanding between the emperor and himself.

Li Haoben was also a general of the Western Army. At the beginning, he wrote a letter to An Biance to win Wang Anshi. Later, he followed Han Jiang, fought in the battle of Luowu City, and then followed Zhang Dun to defeat the Nanman, and captured his chief Tian Yuanmeng alive.

Zhang Dun took the opponent as the first merit, and the official worship introduced the deputy envoy, and now he was transferred to Xihe Road to serve as the third Qian Jurisdiction.

With such a forceful means, the more unhappy Zhang Yue is, the court is worried about himself again, so they sent someone to monitor?Could it be that in Beijing, some official spoke ill of me in front of the Second Mansion and the Emperor?

Hezhou was thousands of miles away from Bianjing, so Zhang Yue couldn't keep up with what was going on in the court at all, even his father-in-law sometimes wouldn't tell him everything.

Li Hao's appointment made Zhang Yue feel a thorn in his throat, he was very concerned, and at the same time he was puzzled by the appointment of the court.

Is it a denial of previous destiny, or occasionally?

This Li Hao is still a member of Zhang Dun, and everyone in the court knows that he is not dealing with this second brother.

Having said that, Zhang Yue is not afraid of how cunning the opponent's enemy is, but he is afraid that someone in the court will hinder him.

Zhang Yue thought for a while in the room, and at this time the attendant told him that Li Xian was looking for him.

Zhang Yue immediately got up and met Li Xian indoors wearing the clothes he was wearing to sleep. The two of them could be said to be heart-to-heart, so they didn't pay attention to these red tapes.

Zhang Yue immediately complained to Li Xian, saying that the emperor didn't mean what he said.

It's like child's play that military and state affairs go back and forth.

Zhang Yue was not afraid that Li Xian would tell the emperor what he had said. Having said that, it is not normal for the emperor to seize his power at this time, and it is not normal for him not to complain.

Complaining to you, Li Xian, is treating you as one of your own.

After hearing this, Li Xian laughed and said: "Marshal, among the generals who have been out of town throughout the ages, which one has no gossip reached the ears of the emperor. You don't have to go to the school to argue, I think this is the way to expose the matter."

"Exposed?"

Li Xian nodded and said, "Not bad."

Zhang Yue thought about it and understood the trick. Rumors are nothing, the emperor and the second government are not so stupid, sometimes it is not a few words, but an attitude.

The purpose of tapping is also to see your reaction.

After Li Xian left, Zhang Yue slept tossing and turning that night.

The next day he got up and pushed open the window, but seeing a red sun rising outside Hezhou City, Zhang Yue immediately forgot all the unhappiness of yesterday.

Pacifying Hehuang is the most important thing in front of him. As for a little idleness, it will be nothing when he looks back after he becomes famous.

Zhang Yue looked at the rising sun with his hands behind his back for a while, and then returned to the desk to write official documents for the emperor and the second government.

The official document is also a routine report, and there is no mention of Li Hao's appointment.

At the same time, I sent a letter to Zhang Zhi to find out who is talking bad about him.
