The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1972 How to Seal a Job
"I have already told the Military Aircraft Order that you, the Deputy Minister of State, will act as the chief envoy to accept the surrender of Emperor Yuan on my behalf."

After a moment of silence, Zhao Dongting spoke again, "If there are no accidents, then the Emperor Yuan will hand over the Chuanguo Yuxi to you in the main hall of the palace, and then lead all the civil and military officials to formally profess ministers to our Song Dynasty. The State Order has accepted it. After handing down the Imperial Seal, just read out my imperial decree. In fact, I didn't have to come here to Biyang in person. I came here because I wanted to discuss with you, what kind of official position should I give to Emperor Yuan. In this regard, You are better than me."

"I am frightened."

Chen Wenlong said quickly, and then said: "Your Majesty, have you never discussed this matter with Emperor Yuan?"

He knew that Zhao Dongting had secretly discussed with Zhenjin in Dazhai, Jiankang Military Region.

"Ha ha."

Zhao Dongting chuckled lightly, "Our Da Song is completely taking the initiative this time, how could I discuss this kind of thing with him. It is purely because I put forward conditions to him."

Chen Wenlong couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, with a look of arrogance on his face.

Silence followed.

He was obviously thinking about what kind of suggestion he would give Zhao Dongting.

After all, Emperor Yuan was the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the most noble figure in the Central Plains.After surrendering, he couldn't be given too low an official position, otherwise he would be criticized.

But the same cannot be given too high, because it is very likely that the so-called "Yuan Party" will form in the DPRK and China.

When Chen Wenlong was silent, Zhao Dongting whispered beside him and slowly talked about his conditions for Zhenjin.

First of all, the Yuan Dynasty surrendered unconditionally, and it is certain to hand over the Chuanguo Yuxi.

Then all the officials of the whole court surrendered. As for whether to continue to appoint, the decision is in the hands of Song Dynasty.

That is to say, after those Yuan Dynasty officials surrendered, even if they wanted to continue to be officials, they had to go through the review of the Song Dynasty Supervision and other departments.

There are also items from various places in the Yuan Dynasty, especially official items, which are not allowed to be transferred out of the country at all.

"I thought that..."

After Zhao Dongting finished speaking, a light flashed in Chen Wenlong's eyes, and he said, "You might as well give him the position of deputy state minister."

"Oh?"

Zhao Dongting's eyes showed some strangeness, he really never thought that Chen Wenlong would make such a suggestion, "Let's talk about it in detail."

The position of Deputy Minister of State is of course the top in the Song Dynasty, second only to the chief officials of the four provinces.It is a member of Yipin.

Counting the entire Song Dynasty, there are only a dozen or so officials from the first rank.The deputy state order is definitely the highest among them.

Chen Wenlong smiled and explained: "Actually, with the status of Emperor Yuan, it doesn't matter if we surrender to our Great Song Dynasty and give him the position of a first-rank official, but there are only four members of the first-rank official in our Great Song Dynasty. Orders, supervision orders, and criminal orders are in charge of four provinces, but we cannot add another province. But if we want to add a deputy state order under the Ministry of State in charge of a certain task, it will not hurt. And the deputy state order this The position is not too low for the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. The people below the Yuan Dynasty, such as Naiyan, Ahema, Wang Yun, etc., all have great talents. If the emperor intends to continue to use them, he can also grant them the rank Any office. That, too, will suffice."

"Um……"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Then what work should he be in charge of?"

Chen Wenlong suddenly smiled wryly, "It depends on what you want, Your Majesty. In fact, the two deputy ministers of the Ministry of State are currently in charge of too many things."

The current deputy ministers of the Song Dynasty are Chen Wenlong and Xin Jingfu.

Chen Wenlong was often transferred by Zhao Dongting to other places to take charge of specific work, such as his previous missions to Xixia and other places, or his return to the frontier construction base.

To put it bluntly, in fact, he and Xin Jingfu are both insiders and outsiders.

The work within the Ministry of State is quite heavy.

Chen Wenlong had gray temples, and Xin Jingfu also aged very quickly after being elected as the Deputy Minister of State.

"Ugh……"

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "Actually, I know that all of you love affairs have heavy workloads, but in the past few years, there is really no one who is competent. If the people below are brought up too quickly, it will inevitably leave hidden dangers. After the complete surrender of the Yuan Dynasty, it is time for me to consider adding more officials, and to relieve the pressure on you, Deputy State Secretary."

He thought of Xiang Dongyang in the past, and Xiang Dongyang, the folk master who followed him in Leizhou.

Xiang Dongyang is an expert in governing the country, even the most powerful person in governing the country that Zhao Dongting has ever seen, even worse than Lu Xiufu.

At the beginning, the Song Dynasty was a complete mess, and it had to do its best to fight against Yuan, Dali and other countries.Zhao Dongting is just a person who has an outline.

Those who actually implemented it were Lu Xiufu, Xiang Dongyang and others below.Xiang Dongyang can be said to have contributed the most to it.

He is the best housekeeper in Da Song.It was him who made Da Song survive the most difficult time.

But he was overworked because of it, and died suddenly.

Even if Zhao Dongting posthumously proclaimed him Grand Master and was buried with a state funeral, what is the use?

Da Song never Xiang Dongyang again.

Xin Jingfu, who was unknown to succeed Xiang Dongyang, was inferior to Xiang Dongyang in terms of ability. The reason why Song Dynasty could develop so fast was because it was already on the right track.

Chen Wenlong nodded, but did not speak.

Then there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Finally, Zhao Dongting said: "Why don't you let him be responsible for agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, earthquake relief, flood control and drought relief, poverty alleviation and other specific work!"

Chen Wenlong's eyes lit up, he bowed and said, "I think this is quite appropriate."

These few items are not as important as education, business, finance, science and technology, etc., which are related to the foundation of the Song Dynasty, but someone has to implement them.

With real gold in such a position, it has its own status.

Only such a position makes it difficult for him to have the opportunity to pull the mountain.

Zhao Dongting clapped his hands, "Then it's settled. I will draw up an order for you later, and make him the deputy state affairs order. As for those Yuan Dynasty officials..."

After that, he continued to discuss with Chen Wenlong in the main hall about how to arrange people like Naiyan and Wang Yun.

They are all ministers of the auxiliary state of the Yuan Dynasty, so of course they have the ability.Since the entire Yuan Dynasty was accepted, it would be petty not to accept them.

Zhao Dongting didn't care about continuing to use the surrenders, as long as these people were really capable and could contribute to the bright future of Song Dynasty.

This is much more cumbersome than the official position of agreeing on real gold.

It took a long time before Zhao Dongting and Chen Wenlong opened the door of the main hall.

How to arrange Naiyan and the others already had a preliminary plan. Zhao Dongting said that after returning to Changsha, he would discuss with Lu Xiufu and the others, and a decision would be made.

This matter is not so urgent.

When accepting the surrender, you only need to tell the real gold's position and stabilize the hearts of all the officials of the Yuan Dynasty.

The next day, Zhao Dongting led the masters and the Flying Dragon Army to leave Biyang and continue towards Xiangyang.

Before leaving, Chen Wenlong only left the imperial decree to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the news of the surrender of the frontier Yuan army has of course spread to the Song Dynasty.

Along the Northern Jiangyan line of the Great Song Dynasty, those places close to Tangzhou and Caizhou were in a state of joy, and it spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

At this speed, it shouldn't take long before the surrender of the Yuan Dynasty will be known throughout the country.

So far, Da Song is truly invincible in the Central Plains.

Dali has become Dali Road, and Tubo has become Tubo Road.Xixia has surrendered.

As for the Yueli Dynasty bordering on the south, the status of the people in the Song Dynasty was even lower than that of Dali.Because, their kings are now only the Marquis of Song Dynasty.

Yue Li Chao had already been beaten to the point where he couldn't hold his head up, and it was impossible for him to have the guts to make another mistake.

As for the East Overseas, not to mention, the vassals of the vassals.Those who did not become ministers have completely become the land of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, the Song garrison in Shangcai and Suiping also began to retreat slowly.

For a while, I don't know how many soldiers came from the territory of the Yuan Dynasty to the border of the Song Dynasty.

Everywhere on the official roads, there are military teams that spread extremely far.

Now the soldiers of the Song Dynasty don't wear those heavy armors, but they still look energetic, even more so than before.

All the faces of the soldiers were excited and proud.

These garrison soldiers from all over the country also made great contributions in this battle of Zhengyuan.

Although they were not regarded as the main force and often confronted the Yuan army head-on, they played an important role in stabilizing the base.There are also logistical matters such as food transportation. If it weren't for the help of the garrison soldiers, this battle would not have been won so easily.

Of course, they still fought a lot of tough battles.The garrison troops under the command of the major military regions all have more or less impressive military exploits.
