I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 335: Arrangement! Change uniforms, get promoted, be welcomed by officials

The third day of August.

While Fu Bi and Su Liang were still on their way home, the results of the negotiations on the Baigou River reached Bianjing City.

The annual currency was abolished; Emperor Yelv Zongzhen of the Liao Kingdom personally wrote a letter of apology to Su Liang and paid a ransom of three million guan in three years.

These three pieces of news made the entire Song Dynasty agitated.

Inside the Chui Gong Hall.

Zhao Zhen was excited and had tears in his eyes.

He knew that Fu Bi and Su Liang would do a good job in this matter, but he didn't expect that they could do it so well.

The abolition of annual coins alone can make Zhao Zhen's political achievements surpass those of the late emperor.

This is the most powerful proof of the power of the Song Dynasty.

aside.

This is exactly what the Song Dynasty needs.

The Empress Dowager of Xixia, Wu Zangshi, said angrily: "Is this your plan? Is this what you call the snipe and the clam fighting and the fisherman getting the benefit?"

Zhao Zhen knew that Su Liang must have come up with such a plan that killed many birds with one stone without asking.

What Zhao Zhen is most satisfied with is the ransom in these three years.

Although the Song Dynasty could afford half a million guan of annual coins.

Some people even set off firecrackers in broad daylight.

When returning gifts during the New Year, they always give gifts to Xixia with at least twice the value to show the power of the great nation.

This is what Da Song wants to see.

The entire city of Bianjing felt like celebrating the New Year, almost boiling with excitement.

The matter spread to the streets of Bianjing.

And it's a shame that will go down in history.

The people rushed to tell each other, and everyone jumped for joy.

The Xixia Prime Minister Fu Zangpang held a piece of commendation document sent by the Song Dynasty, his face was ashen.

"I didn't expect that we... we could actually see the money back. It turns out that the Liao Kingdom is just a paper tiger."

In addition, even if Yelu Chongyuan redeemed himself in advance, the Song Dynasty's goal had been achieved.

This incident also means that the Song Dynasty is already rising rapidly, and the probability of regaining Yanyun will become higher and higher in the future.

……

"In less than five years, we abolished all Sui coins. The reform is effective. The reform is indeed effective. From now on, we can speak with our heads held high in front of the Liao people!"

"Recovering Yanyun is just around the corner. It is not impossible to destroy Xia and Liao in the future and achieve great unification. Everyone, now is the time for us to make achievements!"

The humiliation of nearly fifty years was wiped away.

"Now, not only have we offended the Liao Kingdom, but we are also unpopular with the Song people! According to my opinion, there is no need to show favor to them. When it is time to rob, we will continue to rob. As long as we insist that it was done by bandits, Song and Liao will not Dare to start a war with us! We are the poorest and the most desolate place, what is there to be afraid of!"

Now, the reputation of the weak Song Dynasty as "spending money to ensure safety" can finally be thrown away.

Xixia, Xingqing Mansion, inside the palace.

Such things that show the glory of the Song Dynasty naturally need to be fully publicized.

The Liao Kingdom had less cash, so they would definitely use cattle, horses, and sheep as discounts.

soon.

In the streets and lanes, there are teahouses and restaurants, and laughter is loud.

Wen Yanbo, Zhang Fangping, Song Xiang, Wu Yu, Wang Yaochen and other ministers hugged each other and cried.

I never thought that there would be nothing but a piece of commendation document.

……

After Yelu Chongyuan returns to the court, the internal fighting between Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Hongji will definitely become more intense.

"I obey!" All the ministers raised their hands in unison.

But it’s embarrassing.

In the past, the Song Dynasty has always been very generous.

Wu Zangying Pang originally thought that this time Xixia helped the Song Dynasty to cheer up, and he would definitely get a generous reward.

Zhao Zhen held his head high and said with a smile on his face: "Quickly spread the word to the people about our government's move to abolish the annual currency. Print 50,000 copies of Yelu Zongzhen's letter of apology to Su Qing and send it to the world, to various state newspapers, The government newspaper must publish three consecutive issues. In addition, the news about Yelu Zhongyuan’s ransom in the third year of his reign must also be released..."

This move not only allowed Song and Liao to exchange their identities, but also brought great benefits to the Song Dynasty.

The seventh day of August.

Many shops have hung up colorful silks and red lanterns, and people playing gongs and drums can be seen everywhere.

Some Goulanwashe folk artists spontaneously performed on the streets to celebrate this series of happy events with their own actions.

Wu Zang's face was dark and hesitant.

The Muzang family has always advocated opposition to the Song Dynasty.

She believes that there is no point in currying favor with the Song Dynasty at the moment.

It is better to continue to create civil strife on the border so that Xixia can get some benefits.

Also.

The Dangxiang nobles also objected to Wu Zangying Pang pretending to be a grandson in front of the Song Dynasty people, thinking that Wu Zangying Pang had lost the face of the Dangxiang people.

at this time.

Li Liangzuo, the little emperor of Xixia who was more than four years old, suddenly ran over and snatched the document from Wu Zangying Pang's hand.

Tear!

Li Liangzuo tore the document into pieces and threw it on the ground. Then he grabbed the hem of Mu Zangshi's skirt and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I want to eat the leg of mutton! I want to eat the leg of mutton!"

Ever since Li Liangzuo became sensible, he has hated hiding his lies.

Immediately, Wu Zangshi took Li Liangzuo's hand and left, leaving Wu Zang Yipang aside.

Neither Zangshi nor anyone else heard the gossip, and felt vaguely that Zang was trying to be self-reliant.

Although Wu Zangshi and Wu Zangyupang were biological brothers and sisters, she was naturally considering the interests of her son at the moment.

Recently, she has become more and more dissatisfied with the fact that she didn't hide her secrets.

Even many things are carried out without concealment.

Wu Zangyingpang naturally noticed this.

He sighed deeply, looked at the torn commendation documents on the ground, and murmured: "I listen to you, and I will listen to you in the future. I am just an outsider..."

……

It's nearly noon on the tenth day of August. Fu Bi, Su Liang and his entourage were only half an hour away from the Xin Suanzao Gate in the north of Bianjing City.

Their team included five hundred Longyu troops, more than a dozen Western Army generals who deserved awards, Yelu Chongyuan who was imprisoned in a carriage, and a group of handymen responsible for pulling in supplies.

At this moment, Fu Bi ordered the team to stop.

then.

He and Su Liang changed into official uniforms and moved their personal guards from the middle to the rear of the team.

The two knew that the official family and civil and military officials would welcome them in front of Xuande Gate, and the people of Bianjing City would naturally come to welcome them.

When Su Liang returned, he applied to Zhao Zhen to let the soldiers go to the front to enjoy the glory and cheers.

This is a rare opportunity to enhance the status and fighting spirit of soldiers.

And in the future, there will be many places where warriors will be needed in the Song Dynasty.

As for Fu Bi and Su Liang, they are already glorious and no longer need to be at the forefront to steal the show.

Zhao Zhen replied and responded.

Half an hour later.

The returning team walked into the new Suanzao Gate.

Two columns of forbidden troops stood on both sides to protect them.

The victorious Long Yu Army soldiers were very excited and rode into the city with their heads held high on their tall horses.

And this moment.

Both sides of the street were full of people.

As soon as the soldiers entered the city, a commoner shouted loudly: "Well done, you didn't embarrass us Song Dynasty men!"

As soon as these words came out.

The people on both sides of the street cheered and shouted.

"My son, the Song Dynasty, is not a coward at all. You are all the pride of our Song Dynasty!"

"Who said a good man should study and go to the battlefield to kill enemies? He can still achieve great feats!"

"Awesome! It's so awesome. You actually defeated the Liao cavalry. From now on, when you go to the inn to drink, I...I won't take any money from you!"

"My boy who doesn't like to study and only likes to play with guns and sticks, why not let him join the army. If he can achieve such military exploits in the future, he will be considered a glorious figure!"

……

The people on both sides of the street were very enthusiastic and kept praising the soldiers.

When the soldiers of the Long Yu Army heard these words of praise, they couldn't help but straighten their chests.

Many people immediately understand the significance of enlisting in the military.

The Forbidden Army soldiers standing guard on both sides of the street were very envious, and they all hoped that one day they could go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and achieve such feats.

Fu Bi and Su Liang were riding horses and hanging at the back of the team.

Although the two are low-key.

But when the people recognized them, the praise was deafening.

Especially some young ladies, shouting Su Liang's name crazily. If Su Liang could look at her, she would be happy for at least half a year.

……

About an hour later.

Fu Bi, Su Liang and his party arrived in front of Xuande Tower.

Zhao Zhen, wearing a red crown uniform, came over with his ministers.

Fu Bi and Su Liang quickly dismounted.

"Fu Qing, Su Qing, you have done this well, come with me to the forbidden area! Come to the forbidden area with me!"

Immediately, Zhao Zhen took Fu Bi and Su Liang's hands and strode towards the forbidden area.

All the officials followed behind, very envious.

The monarch and his ministers entered the palace, and after exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Zhen looked at Prime Minister Wen Yanbo who was not far away.

Wen Yanbo immediately understood and took out a document from his arms.

"Fu Bi, the deputy privy envoy, has managed well and promoted the prestige of our country. He is now promoted to Tong Zhongshu Menxia Ping Zhangshi, and he is also a bachelor of Jixian Palace."

Swish!
Except for the ministers of the two governments and three departments, other officials were very surprised.

Fu Bi was so successful that he directly worshiped the prime minister!

At present, the prime minister is Tong Zhongshu's family Ping Zhangshi, who is also a bachelor of Zhaowenguan; the sub-prime minister is Tong Zhongshu's family Ping Zhangshi, who is also a supervisor of the National History; the last prime minister is Tong Zhongshu's family Ping Zhangshi, who is a Jixiandian University scholar. scholar.

Although Fu Bi is the last prime minister, he is currently second only to Wen Yanbo and Zhang Fangping in the court.

All officials in the court had no objection to this award.

Xia Song had a dark face and was very depressed.

It was he who suggested the heavy cavalry, but he did not get any benefit.

Followed by.

Wen Yanbo continued: "Su Liang, who serves as the censor and knows miscellaneous things, is an excellent strategist and a good negotiator. Now he is promoted to the position of giving, and serves as the censor and knows miscellaneous things. He is given a third-grade medal, a goldfish bag and a gold royal fairy flower belt. "

The officials were stunned again.

According to the official system of sending salary, Shizhong was given the rank of fourth rank, but Su Liang was given the rank of third rank.

This means that if Su Liang makes another meritorious service, he may be promoted to the title of Censor Zhongcheng, or he may directly join Zhongshu and serve as a counselor in political affairs.

Subsequently.

Wen Yanbo announced the rewards for other civil servants and generals. They were all exceptional promotion rewards and the rewards were generous.

In addition to receiving heavy material rewards and promotions, the Long Yu Army members also received generous rewards and promotions.

Zhao Zhen also customized a gold-plated dragon tablet for each person. Holding this dragon tablet, you can enter the Zhongshu or the Privy Council, and have the authority to view some military secrets that ordinary people cannot see...

Near dusk.

Zhao Zhen treated Fu Bi and Su Liang with the highest courtesy and held a private royal banquet.

The three of them, the monarch and his ministers, talked happily.

Later, Su Liang said hello to Wen Yanbo, Tang Jie, Ouyang Xiu and others, and chatted for a few words until late at night before returning home.

And this moment.

Tang Ze, Tang Wanmei, and Su Liang's son and daughter were all waiting for him in the living room.

They are also honored that Su Liang has accomplished this great feat.
