Prime Minister

Northwest Lubu succeeded, and informed the people of Bianjing by galloping on a fast horse in Gyeonggi.

Dong felt a vassal!

Recover Huangzhou, Taozhou!
The news spread all over the streets and alleys.

Two scholars in a tea shop on Maxing Street were having wine, and one of them said: "What am I talking about is a world-shattering feat. I regained a Huangzhou and Taozhou, and I boasted like this. This is not to make the court compete for merit and continue to confuse the saints." ?"

Another human said: "Nowadays China has not been governed yet invaded the barbarians, the gain outweighs the loss. In the past, the market change law made the common people sell their fields, every household sold their houses, and everyone bought cattle. When there was no land, no house and no cattle to sell, it was unavoidable. Cut down jujube and mulberry, demolish houses and sell wood for salary. Give up the people of China, but seek barren land."

"That's right, even if you are like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what's the use? You won't be infamous forever. Is a posthumous title with the word Wu nice? Not as many as Emperor Wen..."

As soon as the words fell, they suddenly saw something flying and smashed on their table.

But there was a bang, and the tableware was spilled all over the table.

When the two of them saw that the thing they dropped was a large copper teapot that the shop assistant poured tea into.

The two asked in surprise and anger: "Who is it? Like this?"

After the two finished speaking, they saw a tall man in his thirties looking at them indifferently.

The two of them saw that there were several attendants who were staring at him standing beside him, so they didn't dare to say anything on the spot, they just said something insulting to the gentleman, and left the restaurant in embarrassment.

"Zihou, why do you have to be so angry and disturb your and my enjoyment of drinking?"

The one who spoke on the side was Lin Xi, who knew Taichang Liyuan, and the one who just threw the teapot was the military supervisor, Zhizhi Gaozhang Dun.

Zhang Dun and Lin Xidao: "The current morale of scholars is so corrupted. If all the scholars are so ignorant and lack of courage, they don't even have a little bone and blood. If the country is in danger, it's no wonder that Wang Xianggong must have 'one morality'."

Lin Xi laughed and said, "Oh? Zihou, I also said that you were venting your anger for Saburo."

Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Why?"

"Don't blame me for laughing."

After Zhang Dun and Lin Xi sat down to drink again, Lin Xi said: "This time you take the Nanjiang land, Jianyuan, Yi and other states, Kemeishan
.But Zhang Jie said that you killed too much in Nanjiang, you must be annoyed by this. "

Zhang Dun locked his eyes and said: "The disadvantage of this dynasty lies in Wen Tian and Wu Xi. The battle of Qingli, and the mere Xixia also forced this dynasty into this predicament. Soldiers are important to the country, and they use all kinds of means. They can't be described with mean and cruel words. , do these scholars still think that writing poetry is as romantic as it is?"

"It's hard to imagine that there is no Wang Xianggong to boost the country's power, but those short-sighted and ignorant people are hindered by this, how can I not hate it. I really feel sorry for Wang Xianggong, and even more sad for this great river and mountain. I really don't know that it is in the hands of such people It can last for a few more days.”

Lin Xi sighed and said: "I heard that the officials ordered you to set up a special case to investigate the Yisi case. Between Zeng Zixuan and Lu Jifu, who do you think is telling the truth?"

Zhang Dun said: "Since the government has appointed me to handle the case, I will only know after self-inspection!"

Lin Xidao: "I think it doesn't matter what the truth is, Zixuan is not as good as Jifu in terms of means."

Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xi and asked, "Are you a lobbyist for Ji Fu?"

"No! No!" Lin Xi smiled and dismissed the relationship, "We and Jifu are both from the same hometown, and we are just happy to see the success."

Zhang Dun knew that Lin Xi was not well-off, if he was really Lu Huiqing's lobbyist, it would have been different.

Zhang Dun said: "Lv Jifu has won this time, and the reform can survive. If Zixuan wins, the reform is in danger!"

During the conversation, the surrounding area became lively, but I saw members of the bow and arrow club taking to the streets to celebrate, and the people of Bianjing took out firecrackers to celebrate.

Zhang Dun said: "Three... degrees are quite popular among the people."

Lin Xi said with a smile: "Of course, when it rained heavily in Bianjing, he survived a lot of people... Speaking of which, this time, Duzhi will definitely pay homage to Pinghehuang. Are you envious?"

Zhang Dun laughed: "What envy is there? For example, if you climb a mountain, the climber is already at a high place. Looking left and right, there is still a majestic mountain on it. I don't have to envy him today, and he doesn't have to envy me in the future. .”

The two laughed.

At this moment, a person in the wine shop said: "No wonder it rained heavily a few days ago. It turned out that it was because of the victory in the northwest, not because of the cessation of political reform."

……

And in Chongzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, it rained heavily the day before yesterday because of the victory in the northwest."

The officials nodded deeply, this time Zhang Yue sent troops to take down the two states in one go.

"This time we conquered Huangzhou and Taozhou. Since our army sent troops to Xihe in the third year of Xining, it took only four years to conquer Tongyuan Army, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, and Minzhou. Taozhou, Huangzhou, a total of seven states and one army."

After the officials learned of Zhangyue's great victory in the Northwest, they personally painted Huangzhou and Taozhou on the Xihe map in their room with a pen to represent the flames of the Song Dynasty.

In four years, Zhang Yue laid down the army of the seven states for the Song Dynasty, which is an inexhaustible achievement.

The determination of the officials, who had been shaken by the reform before, has become firm again at this moment.

At this time, Wu Chong, who participated in politics, said: "My Majesty, Zhang Yue said that Xihe has been using troops for a long time, and now the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the court's money bank is scarce. It is time for the country and the people to rest. The country is stable, and then choose good generals to lead the whole army to attack Xiayi, the hatred of Xueren Temple, the hatred of Qingli!"

The official heard the words and said: "This is the word! Pass the decree, Xihe will stop the army, and Zhang Yue will return to Beijing immediately. I will use it!"

Lu Huiqing, who was listening, was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that Zhang Yue had completely kept the new law this time, but the worry was that after Zhang Yue returned to the court, how could he continue to fight against him?

Lu Huiqing looked at Wu Chong and thought, by the way, the Weng and his son-in-law are one inside and one outside, how can the officials agree?

At this time, Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, the boils on my neck are getting more and more painful recently, and I really can't do the job of participating in politics. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to take an official position to recuperate from illness! I am very grateful."

After hearing this, Lu Huiqing thought, Wu Chongguo would rather step down from his position for the sake of his son-in-law's official career.

The official said: "Wu Qing, I know that you are suspicious of your son-in-law, but now that the state affairs are in a difficult time, I will use talents without sticking to one pattern. You and your son-in-law must stay in the court together to assist me."

Wu Chong wanted to decline.

Unexpectedly, the official said: "You don't need to say any more. Now that Mr. Wen has resigned and the Western Mansion is vacant, it was said that Chen Shengzhi would return to the court to serve as a privy envoy, but now I plan to use Wu Qing. This is also a little repayment to your son-in-law. For the country to open up the merits."

Wu Chong was too surprised to speak.

Lu Huiqing was also shocked.

The officials did not let Wu Chong retreat, but instead promoted Wu Chong from a political adviser to a privy envoy to take over the vacancy left by Wen Yanbo.

The privy envoy is tied with Zhongshu Pingzhangshi, so it can be said that he has been promoted from deputy prime minister to prime minister.

Wu Chong was so grateful that he couldn't speak, he resolutely refused for a while, seeing that the officials refused, so he said that he was not qualified enough and begged the officials to let Chen Shengzhi join him as a privy envoy.

The official agreed.

After Wu Chong got the permission, he said with emotion that he supported his son-in-law along the way, but in fact, he relied on his son-in-law to get promoted all the way.

Sure enough, it's better to be a son-in-law!
