Guo Kui said that this time, many and many people were rewarded for their meritorious service.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao are ranked first.
Zhang Yue's original official was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, but he was later demoted to You Sijian. In this way, he returned to the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, which was equivalent to his reinstatement.
As for the official position, it was upgraded from Tianzhang Pavilion to be made to Longtuge to be made, and Longtuge to be made was the first among the to be made.
Xixia and Fan people did not understand the official positions in the Song Dynasty. They only knew that those with the word "Long Tu" in their job titles were high officials, and they were called "Long Tu Laozi". When Fan Zhongyan was the direct scholar of Longtuge in the four counties of Shuaibin, Yan, Jing and Qing, the Tibetan tribes all called him Longtulaozi.
Because of Fan Zhongyan, when the official ordered Zhang Yue to know Xizhou for Longtuge to be controlled, he also wanted to rely on this name to use the power of Longtuge to be controlled to convince the Tibetan tribe and control border affairs.
The mission is to know Xizhou, the full name is to know Xizhou military and state affairs.
This is Zhizhou.
Xizhou was a newly established military state. The officials made Zhang Yue the governor of the state, so they knew how much they valued him.
Qinzhou is the upper state and Xizhou is the lower state. From the general magistrate of Shangzhou to the magistrate of lower state, this is a normal promotion in the officialdom. But Zhang Yue was an exception because he was promoted after serving as Tongpan for only half a year.
Zhang Yue calmed down after hearing the words. He took a look and saw that Wang Shao was about to speak but hesitated. He obviously wanted to ask Guo Kui but held back.
Looking at Wang Shao's mood, we can see his passion for fame. But Guo Kui was also like this. He seemed to know Wang Shao's thoughts, but he deliberately did not say anything about Wang Shao's official position, and deliberately made him appetizing.
A formal reward must be issued by an edict. Guo Kui just heard the news in advance and really had no obligation to answer.
Guo Kui turned to Zhang Yue and talked about Han Jiang.
Guo Kui's tone was actually a bit gloating.
It turns out that Han Jiang resigned, Zhonger won 11 of the 13 battles with Xixia, two draws, killed and surrendered tens of thousands of Xixia troops, but because the Liao Kingdom sent troops, they had to abandon the built Luowu City and Funing Fort. Wait for Liuzhai.
A lot of people and material resources were wasted, and 7 million dollars were spent on sending troops, but not a single inch of land was gained.
The court was very dissatisfied.
At the same time, Han Jiang violated Wang Anshi's wishes in using Fan Chunren, and also opposed Wang Anshi in the exemption law.
Because Han Jiang felt that he could not get along with Wang Anshi, and that his teachers had failed and cost a lot of money and food, Shang Shu said that he was responsible for the loss of Lawucheng, so he resigned.
Wen Yanbo would not let go of this opportunity to pursue and fight fiercely, and Shangshu wanted to hold Han Jiang accountable.
After deliberation, the imperial court believed that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were able to capture Lanzhou, Huizhou, Xizhou, and Han Jiang. At least they still killed a lot of people in the battle with Xixia.
In the end, the officials agreed to Han Jiang's resignation as prime minister, and at the same time added a bachelor of Guanwen Palace.
If the prime minister leaves the phase normally, the Grand Scholar of Guanwen Palace will be added as usual. If the prime minister is dismissed, the Grand Bachelor of Guanwen Palace will not be added. Lu Gongbi retired from the post of privy envoy and became a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, so he knew Taiyuan Prefecture.
The officials gave Han Jiang this treatment, which shows that he was dismissed rather than dismissed.
The officials asked Han Jiang to know Daming Mansion.
As for Zhonge and other generals who sent troops, they were demoted to one rank.
Lu Dafang, who was under the emperor's command, still knew about Yanzhou because his remonstrances were in vain, but he was dismissed from his post and knew about the imperial edict.
In another time and space history, Han Jiang, Zhong E, and Lu Dafang were severely punished. Now because the Qingzhou Mutiny did not happen, and Zhang Yue and Wang Shao's contributions on the Western Front were offset.
Guo Kui was very happy to know that Han Jiang was unlucky.
Guo Kui is simply Guo Banxian, his mouth is as efficacious as if it had been opened.
Guo Kui also told Zhang Yue some news.
Han Zhen, the magistrate of Qinzhou, was ordered to be dismissed from his post in Tianzhang Pavilion because of the killing of his commander Fu Qing.
Zhang Yue's memorandum showed him his merits, and his strategizing words were enough to retain Han Zhen's post. He only resigned from his post as economic envoy and temporarily returned to the Xijing branch.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Han Zhen was dismissed from his post, which was obviously due to Han Jiang's loss of power. However, Han Zhen did kill someone, and there is no argument for this matter. It was just that Han Jiang could suppress it when he was there, but now he can no longer suppress it.
Zhang Yue thought that with Han Jiang's resignation as Zhao Wenxiang, it also meant that he had one less person to support him. Will my father-in-law turn to Wang Anshi or Wen Yanbo in the future?
But Zhang Yue wondered why Guo Kui was so happy when Han Jiang and Han Zhen left?
Zhang Yue suddenly had a thought in his mind and said quickly: "My congratulations to the Lieutenant!"
Guo Kui smiled and said, "Where does this congratulation come from?"
Zhang Yue said: "After Han Jinglue left, it should be Qinfeng Road in Taiweijie Town."
Wang Shao also suddenly realized that Zhang Yue was really sharp, but now that Guo Kui has become his immediate boss, will he still have a good life?
Guo Kui smiled when he heard this and said, "It's really remarkable to sacrifice others."
It turned out that the imperial court had decreed that Guo Kui, the envoy of the Nanyuan of Xuanhui and the retainer of the Xiongwu Army, should be appointed as the pacification envoy of Qinfeng Road and the commander-in-chief of the Mabu Army to sentence Qinzhou.
This shows that Guo Kui has regained the trust of officials.
Guo Kui, who previously opposed sending troops to capture Lawu City, not only had merit but also had no faults. In addition, this time he sent troops to cooperate with Zhang Yue and Wang Shao to capture Dingxi City and subdue Yuzang Huama's 50,000 troops. Guo Kui also had a share of the credit. Therefore, he was appreciated by the officials again.
Guo Kui said with a smile: "It's thanks to Shiren that we captured the Three Continents this time, otherwise I wouldn't know where I would be sitting on the bench."
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to take it. The official family has always relied on the Taiwei."
The credit for conquering the Three Prefectures this time is huge. Zhang Yue and Wang Shao must have the first credit, and Wang Shao was recommended by Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue may be ranked first, but he only mentioned a few sentences in his memorial, and the rest were about the contributions of others.
For example, Han Jiang and Han Zhen supported him in sending troops, Wang Shao, Wang Hou and his son were not afraid of death... In short, no matter how big or small, small achievements must be recorded.
In short, when the Privy Council discussed the reward, they were all shocked when they saw the list presented by Zhang Yue. There was such a long list, and hundreds of people were listed in one go.
How many official posts will this require? How many people will be rewarded?
Many discerning officials in the court could see that when the Taixue brothers of the Su family criticized the current affairs, it was Yan Fu and other five people who directly spoke out and caused the trouble. However, Zhang Yue clearly did not know about this in advance, but he shouldered the responsibility alone. He accepted all the responsibilities and was demoted three levels in a row.
Now that the three states have been recovered, Zhang Yue should have the greatest credit, but he did not take the credit. Instead, he listed hundreds of people in one breath.
In addition to rewards, merit can also be used to pay for sins.
Han Jiang, Han Zhen, and Zhang Yue, who were about to be punished, all wrote good words for them in memorials and once opposed Hengshan's use of troops. Guo Kui, who was politically incorrect, also regained the favor of officials.
Guo Kui was a discerning man, and there were many officials in the officialdom who took credit and blamed others, but there were too few officials like Zhang Yue who took credit for themselves and gave credit to others.
He thought to himself, no wonder Mr. Han thinks so highly of this man, he is really very discerning.
However, Guo Kui and Zhang Yue chatted for a long time, but they never mentioned Wang Shao's reward, which really made Wang Shao very angry.
Guo Kui continued to hold on to Wang Shao and said to Yan, "I came here personally to ask Shiren. Is there anything I can help with?"
Zhang Yue said: "The Taiwei has also seen that we are short of people here. We are not short of Fan people, but short of Han people. I only have time and airs in Xizhou, but the people below do not."
Guo Kui said: "It's easy. The officials have already allowed the Qinfeng Luyanbian Appeasement Department. When you take charge of this department, you can recruit officials yourself."
"But manpower is indeed difficult. We only have so many people on Qinfeng Road. Even if we hear that people are moving to Qinzhou, everyone is afraid of them like tigers, let alone Xizhou. Now Qinzhou only has Ci Pei. Confined more than a hundred soldiers."
Zhang Yue said: "Assassination and consignment to the army? Okay, I want both."
Guo Kui said with a smile: "Oh? It seems that Shiren is really short of people, so I will show you a way. I heard that the imperial court is having a headache about how to deal with the Guangrui Army who failed in the Qingzhou mutiny, as well as Rouyuan Village, San The garrison of the capital village."
Zhang Yue said happily: "I also ask the imperial court to send all the officials to Xizhou."
Guo Kui smiled and said: "These people are all tough soldiers and they have participated in the mutiny. Can you control them?"
Zhang Yue said: "Since the Tibetan people can be incorporated into the army, what about us Han people? I will find a way to arrange it."
Guo Kui said with a smile: "Well, then I will go and get these thousands of soldiers for you. If something goes wrong, don't blame me."
Zhang Yue laughed and said: "It's because of my love for Taiwei Cheng. If possible, it would be best if their families also move to Xizhou."
Guo Kui smiled and said: "You are really not afraid."
Zhang Yue smiled.
In another time and space history, the Guangrui Army who participated in the mutiny, as well as the garrison soldiers of Rouyuan Village and Sandu Village, were later investigated by the court and killed.
When the officials heard that so many people had died, they couldn't bear it, so they blamed themselves and canceled the spring banquet in a bad mood. Later, Han Jiang was severely punished, which was also the reason why so many people died in the Gyeongju mutiny.
Now not only are these people not dead, Zhang Yue also wants to recruit all of them and put them in Xizhou military camp.
Zhang Yue asked: "Who is it that can put an end to the mutiny?"
Guo Kui laughed and said, "Sheren still doesn't know?"
Zhang Yue shook his head. Xizhou was hundreds of miles away from Qinzhou, and it was really difficult for him to get the news.
Guo Kui nodded and said: "You never would have thought that the people who settled this matter were Zhang Zhizheng, the signer of Longzhou, and Zhang Qi, Zhang Zhifu of Xuanfu Division."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but lost his voice when he heard this. He didn't expect that it was his nephew and Zhang Kai who took the credit.
Guo Kui said: "The two of them have gone to Beijing to be rewarded for their great achievements. I heard that your nephew is also very courageous and fearless. On that day, the Guangrui army rebelled and wanted to rob the original commander Wu Kui. It was your nephew who did it alone. He joined the rebels and persuaded Wu Kui amidst the chaos of swords. He also guaranteed with his life and property that the court would never pursue the matter and ensured the safety of the soldiers."
Zhang Yue's face turned pale after hearing this. Zhang Zhi was desperate for his life, taking such a big risk.
Guo Kui said: "After listening to what your nephew said, everyone in Guangrui's army believed it. Afterwards, Wang Guangyuan decided to use the Tibetan army to massacre all Guangrui's troops who participated in the rebellion.
"But your nephew sacrificed his life and put a white blade across his neck, saying that if Wang Guangyuan betrayed his trust, he would die in front of him. In the end, Wang Guangyuan had to compromise. Your nephew was afraid that Wang Guangyuan would regret it, so he moved into Guangrui's army to fight with the soldiers. We live and eat together.”
"It can be said that the survival of everyone in the Guangrui Army depends on your nephew. Speaking of which, I admire you very much."
Guo Kui was filled with emotion when he heard this.
