Northwest Lu announced the victory and informed the people of Bianjing by galloping through the capital.
Dong Fean proclaims himself a minister!
Recover Huangzhou and Taozhou!
The news spread through the streets.
Two scholars were drinking in a teahouse on Mahang Street, and one of them said: "I am boasting about my world-shattering achievements and regaining a Huangzhou and Taozhou. Is this not to allow the DPRK to take the credit outside and continue to confuse the saints?" ?"
Another person said: "Now that China is not under control but it is invading the barbarians, the gains outweigh the losses. In the past, the market change law made every family sell their fields, every household sell their houses, and everyone buys cattle. When there is no land, no house, and no cattle to sell, it is unavoidable. They cut down jujube and mulberry trees, demolished the houses and sold the wood for fuel. They gave up the people of China but sought a barren land."
"Yes, even if he is like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what's the use? It's not like he will be infamous forever. Is a posthumous title with the word "武" good to hear? It's not as good as Emperor Wen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something flying towards them and hitting their table.
But after hearing a bang, a bowl of fast drinks was scattered all over the table.
The two of them saw that the object they had smashed was a large copper teapot used by the shop assistant to pour tea.
The two of them asked in shock and anger: "Who is it? Like this?"
After the two of them finished speaking, they saw a tall, tall man in his thirties looking at the two of them indifferently.
The two of them saw that there were several attendants standing next to him who were looking at him eagerly. They didn't dare to say anything on the spot. They just said something insulting and polite and left the restaurant in embarrassment.
"Zihou, why are you so angry and disturbing your and my enjoyment of drinking wine?"
The one who was talking to the side was Lin Xi, who knew Taichang Liyuan, and the one who just threw the teapot was the Inspector of Military Weapons, who knew how to make the imperial edict.
Zhang Dun and Lin Xidao said: "Today's scholarly culture is so corrupted. If all the scholars are so ignorant and courageous, and they don't even have any flesh and blood, then the country is in danger. No wonder Wang Xianggong insists on 'one morality'."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Oh? Zihou, I thought you were venting your anger on San Lang."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xize and said, "How could that be?"
"Don't be surprised if you laugh."
After Zhang Dun and Lin Xi sat down to have wine again, Lin Xi said: "This time you take the Nanjiang land and build Yuan, Yi and other states, and Kemei Mountain."
. But Zhang Jie said that you killed too many people in Nanjiang. You must have been annoyed by this. "
Zhang Dun's eyes tightened and he said: "The shortcoming of this dynasty is that Wen Tian and Wu Xi, during the Qingli battle, Xixia also forced this dynasty to this predicament. Soldiers are responsible for national affairs, and their methods are all kinds of extremes. They cannot be described as despicable and cruel. , Do these scholars still think that they are as romantic as writing poetry?"
"It is really unimaginable that the country has not been boosted by Mr. Wang, but those short-sighted and ignorant people are holding them back. How can I not hate it. I am really sad for Mr. Wang, and even more sad for this great country. I really don't know that it is in the hands of such people. How many more days can we hold on to?"
Lin Xi sighed and said, "I heard that the officials ordered you to set up a special commission to inspect the city's affairs. Who do you think is telling the truth between Zeng Zixuan and Lu Jifu?"
Zhang Dun said: "Since the government and the family have appointed me to handle the matter, I will only know after I examine it myself!"
Lin Xidao: "I think it doesn't matter what the truth is. In terms of means, Xuan is not as good as Jifu Duo."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xi and asked, "Are you helping Jifu as a lobbyist?"
"No! No!" Lin Xi smiled and cleared away the relationship, "We are both from the same hometown as Jifu, we are just happy to see the results."
Zhang Dun knew that Lin Xi was not a well-established person in the city. If he was really Lu Huiqing's lobbyist, this would not be the case.
Zhang Dun said: "If Lu Jifu wins this time, the reform can survive. If Zi declares victory, the reform will be in danger!"
As he spoke, the surrounding area became lively. Members of the Bow and Arrow Society took to the streets to celebrate, and the people of Bianjing took out firecrackers to celebrate. Zhang Dun said: "Three... the salvation is quite popular among the people."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Of course, he saved a lot of people during the heavy rain in Bianjing... Speaking of which, I would like to thank him for his contribution to leveling the river and Huang this time. Are you envious?"
Zhang Dun laughed and said, "What's the point of envy? It's like climbing a mountain. The climber is already very high. Looking left and right, he can still see the majestic mountain above it. I don't have to envy him today, and he doesn't have to envy me tomorrow. ."
The two laughed.
At this moment, a person in the wine shop said: "No wonder it rained heavily a few days ago. It turns out that it was because the Northwest won the war, not because of the reform."
…
And in Chongzheng Palace.
"Your Majesty, it rained heavily the day before yesterday. It was due to the victory in the northwest."
The officials nodded deeply, and this time Zhang Yue sent troops to conquer 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 only took four years to conquer Tongyuan Army, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and now plus Taozhou and Huangzhou, a total of seven states and one army."
After the official learned of Zhang Yue's great victory in the northwest, he personally painted Huangzhou and Taozhou on the map of Xihe in his room with the flaming color representing the Song Dynasty.
In four years, Zhang Yue defeated the Song Dynasty and conquered seven states and one army. This was an unparalleled achievement.
The officials' determination to reform had wavered before, but now they were firm again.
At this time, Wu Chong, who was involved in politics, said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yueshang Shuyan has been using troops in Xihe for a long time. Now the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the court's treasury is low. It is the time for the country and the people to rest. Wait for another three to five years. After the country is stabilized, we will choose good generals and lead the three armies to attack Xiayi. The hatred of Xueren Temple and the hatred of Qingli!"
The official heard this and said, "That's all! Pass the message, Xihe will stop his troops, and Zhang Yue will return to the capital immediately. I have important use for him!"
Lu Huiqing was happy and worried as she listened. What she was happy about was that Zhang Yue had completely preserved the new method this time, but what she was worried about was that after Zhang Yue returned to the court, how could he use his skills to compete with him?
Lu Huiqing looked at Wu Chong and thought, by the way, the father-in-law and son-in-law are both inside and outside, how can the official family agree?
At this time Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, the scrofula on my neck has become more and more painful recently, and I am not qualified for my political duties. 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 realized that Wu Chong was willing to step down from his position for the sake of his son-in-law's career.
The official said: "Wu Qing, I know that you are suspicious of your son-in-law, but now that the country is in a difficult time, I will use talents in any way. You and your son-in-law must stay in the court to assist me. "
Wu Chong wanted to refuse.
Unexpectedly, the official said: "You don't need to say more. Now that Prime Minister Wen has resigned, the West Palace is vacant. I had previously said that Chen Shengzhi would return to the court and serve as Privy Council, but now I plan to use Wu Qing. This is also a small way for me to repay your son-in-law. Contributed to the opening of borders for the country.”
Wu Chong was so surprised that he was speechless.
Lu Huiqing on the side was also shocked.
The officials did not let Wu Chong retire. Instead, he was promoted from political advisor to privy envoy to take over the vacancy left by Wen Yanbo.
The privy envoy is juxtaposed with Zhongshu Pingzhangshi, and it can be said that he has been promoted from deputy prime minister to prime minister.
Wu Chong was so grateful that he could not speak. He refused firmly for a while, but seeing that the officials refused, he said that he was not qualified enough and begged the officials to let Chen Shengzhi become the privy envoy together with him.
The officials agreed.
After Wu Chong accepted the offer, he lamented that he said he supported his son-in-law along the way, but in fact, he relied entirely on his son-in-law for promotion along the way.
Sure enough, it’s better to be a son-in-law! The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thanks
Some people died, but not completely...
