Chapter 514 Ding Dang
The seventh day of February.

Amidst the cheers, Li Xia and Zhang Jue were walking towards the Hanzhong government office.

He didn't want to say it at first, but in the end, he really couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he had to ask.

"Why is General Zhang crying?"

Zhang Jue asked in a hoarse voice, "Does Feiyu know the position of General Wang?"

"Knowing Hezhou, the guard of Diaoyu City?"

Zhang Jue said: "General Wang is the governor of Xingyuan Mansion, and he also knows Hezhou."

"Hanzhong?"

Li Xia reads a lot now and knows a lot.

The Hanzhong government was called "Nanzheng" in Qin Dynasty and "Liangzhou" in Tang Dynasty. Later, Tang Dezong fled to Liangzhou due to rebellion and liked it very much, so he named Liangzhou "Xingyuan Mansion" with the year name. It is at the same level as Jingzhao Mansion.

Up to now, Hanzhong is still called Xingyuan Mansion administratively.

Because the Song Dynasty lost too much land, many generals held official positions that lost land. For example, Kongxian was stationed in Lizhou.

In short, as far as the imperial court is concerned, the seat of Hanzhong has been moved to...Chongqing Diaoyu City.

It wasn't until Hanzhong was actually recovered that Zhang Jue felt the incomparable humiliation brought about by years of deception and self-deception.

"I..." Zhang Jue straightened his back, wiped the tears from his face, and said: "Xingyuan Mansion controls Zhang Jue, and today he is worthy of the salary he received."

~~
Li Xia had just entered Hanzhong City on this day, and it was impossible for Lin'an City, which was thousands of miles away, to receive the news.

In fact, the imperial court has not yet fully finalized the rewards after the Battle of Diaoyu City.

It was almost noon, Ding Daquan and Dong Songchen were waiting for the officials in the Xuande Hall.

If you let the loyal and upright people in the court say that the two "Ding Dang" in "Yan Martin Dang" gather together, they will bring disaster to the country and the people, but the officials now only trust them.

Recently, officials have seldom held grand dynasties in Wende Hall, and mostly used internal quotations to listen to the affairs of the Ding Party.

Because Concubine Yan Gui fell ill at the end of last year, she finally agreed to Dong Songchen to introduce new people into the palace to serve the official family in order to maintain her status.

Fenglian Building was originally Dong Songchen's property.

Eunuchs open brothels, besides earning thousands of dollars every day, they have trained a lot of Shuli who suit the taste of officials in the past few years.

After all, who else can understand officials better than Dong Songchen, a close servant?
I have tasted something new, today is Liannei's performance, and the officials are also late...

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ding."

Dong Songchen ordered Xiao Huangmen to refill Ding Daquan's wine, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, the officials and everyone in Ji arranged a dance until the third watch, and it may be later."

Ding Daquan is also a womanizer, otherwise he would not rob his daughter-in-law, he smiled knowingly when he heard this.

"Thinking about it, Ji Xixi doesn't seem to be the most brilliant of the Fenglianlou group?"

Dong Songchen lowered his voice, approached him, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, I also told the officials... There is Tang An'an, who is better than Ji Xixi, but it's a pity that Jia Sidao bought it."

Ding Daquan nodded slightly, and asked, "How do the officials react?"

"The officials just love Ji Xixi so much that they don't respond. But..."

Ding Daquan then listened to him again.

Only hearing Dong Songchen's shrill voice trembled slightly.

"But after that, the officials muttered casually, that those who run brothels are also in charge of fighting crickets."

Ding Daquan stroked his beard and frowned.

After defeating Uncle Xie Fang and Cheng Yuanfeng, Ding Daquan was already very powerful, but he still felt that he was not enough, and now he had his sights set on Jia Sidao.

It's not that he is narrow-minded, power is like this, and it cannot be controlled.

If Jia Sidao is not brought down, sooner or later he will be bitten by Jia Sidao.

Thinking about the meaning of the official, first of all, "no reaction" showed that they were willing to value the ministers before there were suspicions, but the latter sentence was a beating, asking them to have a degree.

Thinking that in the hearts of the officials, Jia Sidao's status was similar to his own, Ding Daquan's expression became ugly.

"President Ding doesn't have to worry." Dong Songchen said with a smile, "Prime Minister Ding's family is thriving right now. The great victory in Sichuan and Sichuan all depends on Prime Minister Ding's ability to employ people well."

Ding Daquan didn't like it, but became more and more gloomy, saying: "Did you remind the officials? The Diaoyu City is due to Li Xia's credit, and Lu Wende was clearly sent by Jia Sidao to claim the credit..."

"Ding Xiang, my Ding Xianggong." Dong Songchen interrupted Ding Daquan with his orchid finger, "Which one does the official like, can we not understand? How old is Li Xia? A lot of credit, how will the instructors use him in the future?"

He twisted his body, and said again: "A 19-year-old minister, which award is not a headache? Even Concubine Yan Gui also felt that Mu Xiuyu's forest wind will destroy her, and she wants us to get some credit out, so that the water will flow forever." , it will take a long time."

Ding Daquan understood these meanings.

He didn't care if Li Xia's wood would be destroyed by the wind, what he wanted was that his contribution was greater than that of Jia Sidao.

But there is no way, Lu Wende from Jia Sidao's line, and Li Xia from the Biding Party line are favored by officials.

"The reward for the first battle in Diaoyu City has been discussed by the Privy Council." Ding Daquan said, "Talk to the high officials first? Report to the officials later."

"The official's intentions, we have to clarify first." Dong Songchen said: "Wang Jian must not stay in Sichuan and Shu."

"Peace envoy of Hubei." Ding Daquan said: "Leading the former left leader, General Wei, and the title of founding uncle of Qingshui County."

Dong Songchen didn't care.

Wang Jian doesn't belong to anyone in the court, so he doesn't care where he goes.

"Then the guard of Diaoyu City?"

"Maqian, the capital of Chongqing, was transferred to be the capital of Xingyuan Prefecture and also know Hezhou."

Ding Daquan took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Dong Songchen.

Among them are the relocation arrangements of many generals in Sichuan and Shu.

Dong Songchen saw the end and wondered, "Where's Li Xia?"

"I don't know what the officials want?"

"Too young." Dong Songchen shook his head.

Ding Daquan said: "The candidate who knows Chengdu has not yet been decided, Li Xia..."

In the Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Sichuan appeasement system often knew Chengdu, and when he became an official at this point, he was Shu Shuai.

But still because he lost too much land, Shu Shuai has been acquainted with Chongqing Mansion all these years.

The reason why after Li Xia regained Chengdu, the imperial court did not set up a prefect of Chengdu, was to see if he could keep it.

Now, hold on.

Although Ding Daquan didn't mention the envoy of the Sichuan appeasement system, he only said that he knew the Chengdu government, but it was obvious that he wanted to squeeze Lu Wende out of Sichuan.

"Not qualified." Dong Songchen interrupted again.

Ding Daquan was helpless, took a breath, and said slowly: "Then...Qian Lu Wende knows the Chengdu mansion, and Li Xia knows the Chongqing mansion?"

He was still the one who wanted to seek Shushuai.

Maybe Lu Wende lost Chengdu again?
"Ding Xiang, we can't be so greedy!" Dong Songchen jumped up and said, "I've said it all, and the officials trust Lu Wende even more."

Ding Daquan had no choice but to probe again: "The commander of the imperial army, the deputy envoy of comfort in Chengdu, and also knows Jiading Mansion?"

Dong Songchen remained silent.

Ding Daquan said: "Sir, Jia Sidao has Lu Wende, but we only have Li Xia who can really fight."

"Yes."

Dong Songchen let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yan Gui also said the same thing. It would be great if Commander Shu was one of our people, and among our people, there is only such and such Li Xia."

Ding Daquan was convinced.

The Song Dynasty is such a big place, if he can't even control Sichuan and Shu, what kind of power will he have?
Dong Songchen changed the subject, but continued: "However, the official said a while ago...Li Feiyu is a prime minister, but unfortunately he has not yet achieved fame, right? Don't be like Zhao Kui. When I want to use him, he will say nothing. The prime minister must use scholars."

Ding Daquan was thinking about the meaning of these words... It sounds good to be a prime minister. In fact, the officials wanted to suppress Li Xia.

Li Xia is bad because he is too young and has made too many meritorious deeds.

"Ding Xiang has figured it out?" Dong Songchen said, "The officials don't want to reward him."

"Don't reward him? Then where is our credit?" Ding Daquan said, "Even if we reward him first, then we can find a reason to return to Lin'an to suppress him."

Only then did Dong Songchen pat his knees and said, "If you have Ding Xiang's words, let's write them down."

Ding Daquan sighed, knowing that the candidate for Shu Shuai still could not compete with Jia Sidao.

The Mongolian lord is dead, the Mongolian army has retreated, and the battle in Sichuan and Shu is over. Li Xia has no chance this time.

As for next time?

Before long, the officials will have to transfer Li Xia away from Sichuan...

Dong Songchen looked at Ding Daquan's addition at the end of the memorial before preparing to welcome the official.

Just arrived outside the hall, but saw a little yellow door running over in a panic.

"Have the officials left?"

"Senior officer, I won't be in charge today, Xiao Chaohui, please invite Ding Xiang to the small court meeting in the main hall, it seems that something big has happened."

Dong Songchen was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Who impeached us again?"

"No, it seems that the war is not going well..."

~~
It's night, Hanzhong City.

Under the moonlight, Li Xia shuttled tirelessly through the streets and alleys of Hanzhong, wanting to get familiar with it as soon as possible.

He is very clear that Hanzhong refers to Qinguan in the north and controls Sichuan and Shu in the south, which is the foundation of Wangye.

But in order for him to truly control Hanzhong, he must become Shushuai.

For the time being, he and Lu Wende are the ones who are capable of guarding Shu in Song Dynasty.

This is a real ability, and neither official position nor age can conceal his ability.

Then, when the news reaches Lin'an, he and Lu Wende can only stay one person.

Fortunately, there is still one left among the two...
