-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

In March 976, the ninth year of Kaibao, Emperor Taizu went on a tour of Xijing. Before his trip, he was named the prince Defang as the inspector of Taibao-Guizhou Defense Envoy. Taizu and King Jin went to Luoyang to meet Defang's father-in-law Di Jixun, who was then Luoyang Youwu General Wei was welcoming him in his official uniform at this time. Taizu was very happy to see the magnificent palace. He held the general's hand and said, "It's really a blessing for the country that the general governs such a prosperous place."

The general bowed slightly, "The people in the city live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is prosperous, thanks to your Majesty's blessings."

"Hahaha, very good, very good" Emperor Taizu smiled heartily, and then said: "I and Aiqing are in-laws, and now my daughter-in-law, your palm Zhu Mingzhi is going to give birth in half a year, it can be described as a great joy." Well, you're ready to be a grandfather."

Di Jixun smiled when he heard the words, clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the royal family, and I am extremely honored."

"Di Jixun stepped forward to accept the seal!" Emperor Taizu said suddenly

Di Jixun was stunned, and Jin Wang Guangyi, who was next to him, quickly stepped forward and said, "The general is still kneeling to listen to orders."

"The minister accepts the order." Di Jixun hurriedly knelt down and listened to the order

"Di Jixun governed Luoyang in a well-organized way, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. The construction of Luoyang palaces showed the royal demeanor and took the lead. Now he bestows the title of Jiedu envoy, starting from the first-rank title and doubling his salary." Emperor Taizu said slowly, every The words are clear and powerful, looking at the general who is lying on the ground, there are smiles on his brows and eyes.

"I thank Your Majesty Long En, I will do my best to be loyal to Your Majesty." Di Jixun kowtowed in thanks.

When King Jin heard the award, he felt a little doubtful, "The emperor's tour of Luoyang was also for the purpose of moving the capital. In addition, the post of Jiedu envoy is a high-ranking military commander, which is already above the phase. After the founding of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu gradually The military and political power of the meritorious general has been deprived, but now he is doing the opposite, re-granting Di Jixun the military and political power of Xijing Luoyang. If the capital is moved, then Di Jixun will guard the capital and participate in the government. Wouldn't the prince be one? ..." King Jin speculated in his mind.
