Chapter 467 No.3 Zhongshu Servant

What Li Chongjiu said made the three Khitan leaders bow their heads, speechless.

At this time, the inner court official reported: "The capital of Ruoshui Prefecture protects Wang Junkuo, and Zhang Xuansu, a member of Zhongshushe, asks to see him!"

Li Chongjiu listened, nodded and said: "Xuan!"

Not long after, Wang Junkuo and Zhang Xuansu entered the hall together, bowed and said, "My lord."

Li Chongjiu stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a seat and tea."

Immediately, the servants came up to serve the reed mat, tea, Wang Junkuo, Zhang Xuansu held the teacups and took a sip of the sweet tea, while the three Khitan people on the side also had a bowl in their hands.

At this time Li Chongjiu said: "How is Qijin Qulie from Fufuyu's department now?"

Zhang Xuansu put down the teacup and said: "Report to the king, now he is in Huaihuang Town, and his three sons who are in Youjing as hostages are waiting to be released together."

Li Chongjiu nodded and asked, "How is the discussion going on among the secretaries of Zhongshu Province regarding Qu Lie's treatment?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "Reporting to the king, Qu Lie, who betrayed his promise and betrayed our great Zhao, should be beheaded together as an example. This is a memorial drafted by the three ministers of Zhongshu Province. Please have a look at it. .”

After speaking, Zhang Xuansu handed over the memorial to the inner court officials.

Li Chongjiu took a sip of tea, took the memorial and read it again, and said: "Qu Lie can be killed, but his third son does not need to be implicated. The Ministry of Education will draft another memorial."

Zhang Xuansu immediately accepted the memorial returned by Li Chongjiu and said yes.

The three Khitans glanced at each other.

Li Chongjiu looked at the three of them and asked: "Qu Lie destroyed the trust of Zhao Guo in him, so I killed him. After Qu Lie's death, Fufuyu's tribe will no longer exist, and the tribes of his tribe will go straight It belongs to Ruoshui Prefecture's Protectorate. In fact, calling the three chiefs this time is not a threat. Gu said just now, and the world is so big, there is not only one Khitan, let alone one great Zhao. The blood between Hu and Han is already It has been flown for hundreds of years, and it will be the same if it is laid down again."

The three Khitan people said yes when they heard this.

Speaking of this, the inner court officials presented a map of northern Saibei. Li Chongjiu clicked on the map and said: "These two places are excellent grasslands in the south of Wuhou Qinshui. I have discussed with Yinghefu and Ertuo. Now, they will give up these two grasslands for your Khitan Pixu tribe and Tuliuyu tribe to graze, and this place is north of Wuhou Qinshui and south of Huangshui, and it will be designated for Yuling tribe to graze."

The three Khitan people heard that Li Chongjiu had no intention of dismantling their followers, and they were all overjoyed to accept the order.

Li Chongjiu went on to say: "You are here, and you must obey the transfer order of Ruoshui Prefecture's Duhufu. I will let you three be the army leaders. The Pixu Department belongs to the Tongjun's Etuo account, and the Tuliu Department belongs to the Tongjun Yinghefu's account. Your Majesty, the Yuling Department belongs to the commanding army Borhan. Although you are under the control of the commanding army, if you have any reasonable requests, you can submit them to the Protectorate."

The three of them looked at each other, this was the best result for Khitan, and they all obeyed at the moment.

Then the three Khitans retreated together.

After the three of them left, Wang Junkuo said: "This is a good way to deal with the barbarians. Let the Shide Xi department manage the Khitans. This way, the Khitans will not be able to rebel in the future. Otherwise, the [-] Khitans who are attached this time will not be easy to manage."

Li Chongjiu said: "Using the barbarians to control the barbarians is just a trick and a means. Power tricks and means can be used temporarily, but they can't be sustained for a long time. The sea does not choose rivers and streams, so it is broad. It is the same to subdue the Khitan people."

Wang Junkuo cupped his hands and said, "I remember it."

Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty, at present, 10 Khitans are attached, and Huo'er is on the grassland, how should we deal with it?"

Li Chongjiu said: "The Huo'ershen Grassland cannot be abandoned. Didn't Ertuo always intend to move the tribe to the north? I think Mohe and Shi Dexi in Liaoxi can be moved to the Huoershen Grassland. Huoershen Grassland is like this Good grassland, I will not abandon it, let Da He Duo Luo make a comeback in the future."

Zhang Xuansu cupped his hands and said: "It is a way to move the Mohe and Shidexi tribes in the west of Liaoxi to the grasslands, but I suggest that a city should be built in Bailang Mountain, Wuhou and Qinshui to deter Khitan and Goguryeo. Good to rule the Fanren of the two places."

Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Junkuo and asked, "What do you think?"

Wang Junkuo said: "This is feasible. It can be like the two towns of Yuyi and Huaihuang built in the past. The garrison troops will be dispatched to station, and the money and food can be supplied by the surrounding Fanbu. It is estimated that it will be completed within a year."

Li Chongjiu said with a slight smile: "Very good. But it can be a little faster. The guardian can call Huaihuang and Hu Han merchants from the second town of Yuyi and tell them about this. I think the merchants have long wanted to open the trade route to Khitan. As well as to the north of Wuhou Qinshui, they dared not do it because Khitan was not broken at that time. You can give up the land, and they will flock to it. The matter of building the city can be decided in half a year."

"White Wolf Mountain, after Wuhou Qinshui builds the city, another city can be built on Lengjing Mountain to the north of Huangshui, and Wuhuan Mountain in the depths of Huoershen Grassland. Step by step, we can infiltrate the power of Ruoshui Prefecture's Protectorate into the grassland. deep."

Zhang Xuansu said happily when he heard the words: "The king really has a great idea, so that the people can't help but lure them, and lure them with profit, which can get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Chongjiu waved his hand, and said: "To lure them with profit, it's not a low-level vehicle, to act alone, there are only four words, mutual benefit."

Wang Junkuo and Zhang Xuansu all bowed to him when they heard the words.

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhang Xuansu and said with a smile: "The Khitan has been broken now, and Zhang Sheren has planned a strategy, which can be called a great achievement, but Gu has not rewarded you for a long time, do you know why?"

Zhang Xuansu said: "I don't know."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you were the mastermind under King Xia's command before, Gu Shang dare not believe that you use you, but now you help isolate this great achievement, now you can be used as Gu's ovary."

After hearing this, Zhang Xuansu immediately said: "The king's words are serious, how dare Zhang Mou compare to Zhang Zifang."

Li Chongjiu laughed, and said: "Zhang Aiqing, you don't need to panic. You also know that the Central Secretariat was established as the head of the three provinces, and all military orders were discussed by the Central Secretariat. Wen Qing is mature and prudent, and handles things steadily. Ji Chuan is a lonely veteran who has been with him since Huaihuang Town. Xue Wanshu is the son of a general who is good at military affairs. The three of them are not advisers. The Ministry of Education lacks a person who can plan strategies. If you trust Zhang Qing alone, you are enough Take it."

Zhang Xuansu thought to himself what Li Chongjiu meant by saying this.

Li Chongjiu paused, and said: "So I intend to strengthen Zhongshu Sheng, Ji Chuan, and Xue Wanshu, and set up a Zhongshu Minister on top of the two Zhongshu Ministers. Zhang Aiqing has made such a great contribution this time, and he deserves to be rewarded." , was promoted to the Minister of Zhongshu."

"Three servants of Zhongshu?" Wang Junkuo was a little surprised when he heard it.

Zhang Xuansu thought to himself, if he was promoted from Zhongshu Sheren to Zhongshu Minister in one fell swoop, it would be equivalent to being promoted to four ranks in one day, and moved from the fifth rank to the third rank in one go.

Zhang Xuansu stood up immediately, and said with a kowtow: "My minister thanked the king."

"Get up." Li Chongjiu laughed loudly.

Promote Zhang Xuansu to be the Minister of Zhongshu, so that in the future, Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Xue Wanshu and Zhang Xuansu will be equivalent to Li Chongjiu's small cabinet.

This is also what he has been planning to strengthen the Zhongshu Province, so that the Zhongshu Province will be further above the Shangshu Province, so as to divide the actual power in the hands of the Shangshu Province.This is also the characteristic of the Yuan and Ming dynasties systems.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the crown prince was in charge of the Zhongshu Order, but in fact the Zhongshu Province was in power, but it was the two Zhongshu Ministers who were the left and right prime ministers in the Yuan Dynasty.This shows the high status of Zhongshu Province.The Yuan Dynasty not only strengthened the Zhongshu Province in the central government, but also set up the Zhongshu Province in the local area.

Xingzhongshusheng, referred to as Xingsheng, is the origin of the word Xingxing. Although the official system of the Ming Dynasty replaced the provincial administration of the province with the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the people still used it to govern the place. The name of the province was called, and it has been inherited until today.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Hu Weiyong successively served as the prime ministers of the Zhongshu Province, but after Hu Weiyong was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Zhongshu Province was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, the Ming Dynasty established a cabinet, which actually replaced the Zhongshu Province. function.

Li Chongjiu now strengthens the Zhongshu Province and adds Zhang Xuansu as the Zhongshu Minister, which is also the same intention.

Zhang Xuansu thought about it, took a deep breath and said: "Since Your Majesty has trusted me and entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, I have no choice but to repay him with death. Now I have a plan to break Liu Heikai, and now I offer it to you, my lord. "
