Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 847 Appointment of Diplomats
The next day, Da Nei Chongzheng Hall.

First of all, it was Lu Haowen who, as a member of the Privy Council, reported various matters concerning the South China Sea Expedition. Wang Xiu and Li Gang proposed to be the prime minister on the affairs of the countries in the South China Sea, as well as the candidates for the South China Sea economic and strategic appeasement envoy. One is in charge of diplomatic relations and the other is in charge of government affairs. , is indispensable.

Of course, Cai Yi was the first to be ruled out. Everyone knew that it was impossible. How could ordinary people be able to master the vertical and horizontal skills thousands of miles away?Even if someone wants to get in the way, how can Jin Zi, the dignified Shangshu, go south.

If, in the past, it’s fine, the official position is separated, and the ministers ignore affairs. With the deepening of the new official position, the official position will be combined with one post, one carrot and one pit. Cai Yi is also an important minister of Quanyi, and it is impossible to leave easily .

Zhao Chen, like an old monk, seems to be wandering in the sky, and the specific mundane affairs of the foreign court are performed accurately without exception, and it seems that he has really handed over the power in advance.

"Three Buddhas are in a small country, and the king's teacher will surely be invincible when he arrives. The most important thing is how to stabilize the countries, especially Champa and Java, which is beyond what ordinary people can do." Qin Hui was the first to talk about the difficulty of choosing candidates.

Li Guang disagreed a bit, and said decisively, "It is impossible for a large army to hang in a foreign land for a long time. The imperial court is famous and famous in the South China Sea. You should quickly return to the army to protect yourself. There are more than ten military states too big. It doesn't matter if there are three or five. If you want to appease, you can have a soldier concurrently." .”

"No, the army assembled in the South China Sea is far away from the imperial court, and it is difficult to control everything. If the generals gather military power and wealth, I am afraid it will breed chaos." Xu Han naturally would not agree. Unlike Li Guang, he does not care about overseas, but pays special attention to the separation of civil and military affairs. , This is human nature. He restricted the authority of the generals when he reinforced Taiyuan, and it is still the same now.

Zhao Chen's face was expressionless, and he said in an impatient tone, "Who do you think the prince will take on this important task?"

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhao Chen, with disappointed eyes, and said coldly: "For the affairs of the countries in the South China Sea, the prime minister, you can use the Minister of Rites, Wang Lun Wang Zhengdao."

Without waiting for Li Gang to speak, Qin Hui said loudly: "Your Majesty, what Wang Daren said is very true. Wang Shilang has been sent to the captive country many times, and he has deep knowledge of state diplomacy. The minister also thinks it is appropriate."

Wang Xiu couldn't help but glanced at Qin Hui, he didn't discuss it with Qin Hui, who would have thought that this guy would be the first to agree, which violated the old slippery principle.However, since it is contrary to common sense, there is some room for consideration.

Tan Shiji frowned, and said, "Once something happens in the north, who can do it?"

"My lord, apart from Wang Zhengdao, is there no one else who can go to the north? Wang Zhengdao was ordered to be in danger, and he is firm and strong. However, the situation between the north and the south has become calm in recent years. Let others have more experience. The situation in the South China Sea, there is no It is absolutely unacceptable for the scheming and persevering BJTU."

Wang Xiu retorted unceremoniously, accusing Tan Shiji of being short-sighted, that the imperial court should not be too narrow in employing people, but should continue to cultivate talents, and mature talents must be used in key areas.

Tan Shiji was noncommittal, and he didn't conflict with Wang Xiu. We've been colleagues for so long, and everyone just expressed their opinions. Just discussing opinions in the temple, there's no need to be unhappy.

"What do Li Qing's family think?" Zhao Chen raised his spirits and asked Li Gang.

Li Gang glanced at Wang Xiu, his eyes were particularly complicated, and he said in a serious tone: "I also think that Wang Zhengdao of the Ministry of Rites is suitable. After all, the trip to the South China Sea will involve hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and there is no room for sloppy."

"Okay, let him take office. There is also a candidate for strategic appeasement. Have you ever had a choice?" Zhao Chen said briskly. Overseas expeditions, especially the South China Sea, are impossible for the imperial court to control in time. I don't want to ask too many questions.

Qin Hui glanced at Wang Xiu, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think that the privy officials are all obedient, and they are quite talented and wise, and can be competent in economic planning and appeasement."

Don't say that Wang Xiu was taken aback, even Li Gang, Tan Shiji and others glanced at Qin Hui. Who would have thought that Qin Hui, who was old and cunning and never dared to be the first, had taken the wrong medicine today?It turned out that Wang Xiu was in the corner.

However, no one can deny Qin Hui's foresight. Zhong Lirui was ordered in a crisis and successfully stabilized the defense line along the river. His strategic vision is first-class. It should be said that it is appropriate to serve as a relatively independent overseas military state.

A flash of light flashed across Zhao Chen's eyes, and he finally regained his energy. He gloated at Wang Xiu, Zhong Lirui was Wang Xiu's absolute assistant, even if it was impossible for him to be transferred, he still felt disgusted at Wang Xiu.

"Although the seniority is still low, it is not impossible to take the post if you have a stable person as a deputy." Xu Han agreed with Qin Hui's proposal. Maybe it's not the best person to lead ministers overseas.

Lu Haowen also twitched his beard and nodded, saying: "Master Xu's words are very kind, and Uncle Zhongli Ming is a great talent, and he can indeed be reused."

Wang Xiu committed a difficult act, no matter what Qin Hui's intentions were, it seemed that Zhong Lirui was so good that the important officials of the two governments tended to agree with him, and he was even a little jealous.Why did the fate of life come to this, he showed extraordinary talent back then, but he was not unanimously recognized by everyone, but Zhong Lirui was like a rising star, and he was favored by the loyal officials of the two governments.

To a certain extent, comparing people to people is really infuriating!
However, he still has great use for Zhong Lirui, and he will never waste it in the mere South China Sea, even if he wants to use it, it is not now.

Li Gangsi is indeed the best choice of the imperial court. "

Wang Xiu is so ridiculous that he didn't see Wang Xiu's difficulties. Perhaps Wang Xiu with a troubled face is the one he likes the most, and said loudly: "Your lords are very true. Although you are young, you are not as old as Mr. Wang. The minister is also very optimistic about the decree. He is also young and strong, and he can't be sent to the South China Sea to lead his ministers. Nima, don't bring such a joker. These two people from the two governments will unite to slander him. No, it is not a slander, Zhong Lirui There are indeed merits, the imperial court really needs someone with a strategic vision to fight in the South China Sea, and he couldn't help but say: "My lords are right, Du Chengzhi is indeed a good candidate, and I also have this plan. "

Anyone would think that Wang Xiu didn't want Zhong Lirui to go south. After finally returning from Hangzhou, he showed his talent properly and became Du Chengzhi.

The corners of Qin Hui's mouth twitched slightly, originally trying to test Wang Xiu in troubled waters, but who knew that Wang Xiu was so straightforward, I really couldn't see what this fellow was thinking.

The corners of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched, and he almost blurted out the exact words, but the reservedness of the proposal still made him swallow it, waiting for the final result.

Wang Xiu looked around at the crowd, and said again: "Now, the party is ready to move, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it anymore."

"Your Majesty Wang is too worried. Dangxiang plotted against Shaanxi in the year of Xuanhe and the second year of Jianyan in Dazhong. I refused the door." Xu Han was dissatisfied at first.
