Zhao Shan admired Du Mi even more.
This person has ability.
Under Deng Zhong's command, it was really a waste of talents.
Zhao Shan said without hesitation: "Du Mi, you are now the governor of Yizhou, right?"
"yes!"
Dumi answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "You have the ability and wisdom, I will give you a chance. Deng Zhong surrendered to the imperial court, I gave him a marquis, let him serve as the Minister of Rites, and gave him a chance."
"Deng Zhong has completed his surrender and Dagan's army has settled in Chengdu. I will appoint you as the new governor of Yizhou."
"This is my promise."
Zhao Shan said: "The opportunity is before you. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your ability."
call! !
Du Mi's breathing also became rapid.
Yizhou governor!
This is the real frontier official.
Such an opportunity can only be arranged by an influential, prestigious and eloquent emperor like Zhao Shan.
If it were an ordinary emperor, when faced with such interests, the ministers would fight endlessly, each hoping that someone from his own faction would serve as the governor of Yuzhou. It would be difficult for the emperor to arrange for his own people.
This is the opportunity of Zhao Shan's era.
Du Mi said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will definitely complete the task."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Go ahead, I look forward to good news from you."
"The grassroots resign!"
Du Mi bowed respectfully, turned around and left.
After Du Mi walked out of the hall, Zhuge Shang had a serious look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after all, Du Mi is just a long history official and has no resume. Isn't it inappropriate to directly appoint him as the governor of Yizhou? This matter has spread in the DPRK, and I'm afraid it will cause discussion."
"Who can discuss it? Who dares to discuss it?"
Zhao Shan snorted and said, "Those who are capable, why don't you go to Yizhou early and capture Yizhou directly for me? Now that Yizhou has surrendered, do you want to pick peaches?"
Zhuge Shang smiled.
The emperor's words were very strong.
Zhao Shan always trusted Zhuge Shang. He further said: "Zhuge Qing, you are very capable and have kept the back room in order. It is very good. I don't need to worry."
"It's just that you still lack a bit of tiger spirit and a bit of domineering."
"You are the Prime Minister."
"You are the one handling the government affairs of the DPRK. If anyone comes forward and dares to say inappropriate words, why not handle it directly?"
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Just deal with what needs to be dealt with. I fully support you. If Daqian wants to create an unprecedented prosperous age, he must conquer the Japanese country in the east, merge the Western Regions in the west, swallow Yelang in the south, and control the Jin Kingdom in the north. Unprecedented courage."
"You are my prime minister."
"Together, you and I are creating an unprecedented prosperous era. We must join hands and not be afraid of anyone's doubts. We must promote and promote talents in an eclectic way."
Zhao Shan said: "Not only the territory, we also want to bring the people back home and let the people live a good life, which requires unprecedented efforts and countless like-minded people. So don't have any fear and do it boldly. "
Zhuge Shang was excited when he heard this.
He respected Zhao Shan even more and said loudly: "Please rest assured, your majesty, I will do my best to live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Go."
Zhuge Shang respectfully retired, and Zhao Shan also took some time off, preparing to take over Yizhou and thinking about Yizhou's affairs.
There were no disturbances in Zhao Shan and the imperial court, and while Mao Dong continued, Du Mi braved the cold winter and went all the way south and returned to Chengdu.
It was very cold in Chengdu this year and it actually snowed.
It's not heavy snow, but a little snow from time to time, but it's also extremely cold. This is a very rare weather, because most places in Chengdu don't see snow almost all year round.
Such weather makes it even more difficult for the people.
Du Mi also cursed the bad weather and went all the way to the Governor's Mansion, where he met Deng Zhong who had been waiting for a long time.
Deng Zhong looked anxious and said, "Du Changshi, how is the situation?"
Du Mi said: "My lord, the outcome of this incident was quite smooth. The emperor agreed to your submission to the imperial court. However, the emperor has conditions."
Deng Zhong asked: "What conditions? The emperor cannot have no conditions, otherwise, how could he believe that I surrender? Could it be that he wants me to live in Luoyang?"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Du Mi said: "The emperor accepts your surrender on the condition that your family moves to Luoyang. Of course, the emperor will also grant you the title of marquis and arrange for you to serve as the minister of etiquette."
"well……"
Deng Zhong sighed.
Minister of Rites!
He is indeed a noble official, but he has no real power because the Ministry of Rites has very little power.
Deng Zhong did not give an answer immediately and asked: "Du Changshi, you also met the emperor with your own eyes, what was your impression?"
Du Mi said: "To report back to your majesty, I saw the emperor. He is indeed majestic, and the emperor is less than thirty years old. It is not easy to conquer such a large territory at this age. The emperor is very powerful, and his prime minister Zhuge Shang is also majestic and very lawful."
"well……"
Deng Zhong sighed again.
When he thought about the end of the Tu Emperor's life, it was naturally difficult for him to accept it.
However, the situation was like this, and Deng Zhong had no choice.
Deng Zhong asked: "Du Changshi, what do you think I should do about Zhao Shan's conditions? Fight or surrender?"
Du Mi had already turned to Zhao Shan.
Naturally, Deng Zhong must surrender.
However, Du Mi was very sober and did not elaborate on his position. He said: "Sir, whether the war is war or surrender depends on your thoughts. If you want to be stable and worry-free for the rest of your life, surrender to Daqian."
"If you want to fight again, then no matter what happens behind you, just fight. No matter the result, no matter the casualties, just fight."
"You have governed Yizhou for many years and have rich experience and high prestige."
"You want to submit to the imperial court. I believe the people below will not dare to object."
"If you want to fight to the death, I believe that no one will back down and will fight to the death with you."
Du Mi solemnly said: "No matter what your Majesty decides, I will follow you to the death without any second thoughts."
Deng Zhong stroked his beard and laughed.
Very satisfied with Dumi's answer.
Deng Zhong nodded and said: "It is said that in times of crisis, loyal ministers show their true colors, and Du Changshi is like this. That's all, that's all, the world is about to be completely unified, why are you still resisting? If you really want to resist, you won't be arranged. Go to Luoyang. I am willing to surrender and move my family to Luoyang."
Du Mi said: "I will obey your orders."
Deng Zhong ordered: "Go and make arrangements to mobilize our army and prepare to follow me north. We will leave Yizhou and submit to the imperial court. At the same time, arrange for someone to send a message to the emperor in advance. I will lead the army out of Yizhou and submit to the imperial court." Please accept the emperor and take over the army."
"As you command!"
Du Mi agreed and felt relieved.
This is the best result.
If Deng Zhong goes back on his word before the battle and would rather die than submit, the matter will be troublesome. At least he will have to put in some effort to promote all submissions.
It's excellent now.
Du Mi turned around and went down to make arrangements, while Deng Zhong arranged for his family members to carry supplies and collected all the gold bars, money, etc., in preparation for the family's relocation.
I'm leaving, and I can't keep any money.
All must be taken away.
After going to Luoyang to become an official, even if he was an ordinary minister of the Ministry of Rites, even if he had no real power but had countless family properties, he could still live a stable and happy life.
Du Mi was very efficient and completed the arrangement in less than three days.
At present, Yizhou's government affairs have been temporarily handed over.
After all, he was surrendering to the imperial court. In such a major matter, no official would dare to act recklessly. Even many officials from big families from Yizhou were eager for Deng Zhong to surrender, because the emperor was too powerful and no one could compete with him.
Surrender is the most appropriate.
Just like that, everyone worked together without any sign of resistance.
Three days later, Deng Zhong left Chengdu and headed north with his family, a long team, countless supplies, and 40,000 of his main elite troops.
When Deng Zhong went north, Du Mi had already arranged for someone to send a message to Luoyang in advance, telling Zhuge Shang the news and asking Zhuge Shang to convey it.
Zhuge Shang received Du Mi's letter and after reading it, a smile appeared on his face.
Du Mi is really good.
He actually encouraged Deng Zhong to bring out all the troops.
Zhuge Shang hurried to the palace, told Zhao Shanhou the news, and said: "Your Majesty, now we need someone to take over Deng Zhong's army. At the same time, arrange for our own army to be stationed in Yizhou to ensure the stability of Yizhou. "
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "If anyone comes, please inform Fang Weihu to come and discuss matters."
The eunuch went to inform.
It didn't take long before Fang Weihu came in a hurry and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan quickly talked about Yizhou's surrender and said, "Fang Qing, who do you think is the most suitable for the troops that need to be stationed now?"
Fang Weihu said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I recommend Li Buyi."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Li Buyi is good at fighting. He will follow me to attack Japan after the spring begins. He cannot go to Yizhou for the time being."
Fang Weihu hesitated for a moment and said: "Please ask for your Majesty's Holy Judgment."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Some time ago, Qi Shanjun said that he was old and wanted to retire and become an official. I plan to let Qi Shanjun go to Yizhou to spend some time as the governor of Yizhou and be responsible for Yizhou's military affairs. What do you think?"
Fang Weihu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised: "Your Majesty's move is brilliant. Qi Shangshu has been the Minister of the Ministry of War for many years and knows more about military affairs. It is completely suitable for him to serve as the governor of Yizhou."
"It is also appropriate for him to be transferred to the governorship of Yizhou as Minister of the Ministry of War. Once the situation is stabilized, Minister Qi can further retire and return to his hometown."
"Furthermore, after Qi Shangshu leaves office, he can also transfer key personnel to serve as Shangshu of the Ministry of War."
"This is a brilliant move!"
Fang Weihu said happily: "Your Majesty's move can be said to be a one-shot move. It is a rare skill."
Zhuge Shang also smiled and said: "Your Majesty's move is indeed very subtle. During this period, Qi Shangshu always said that he was old and overwhelmed and was unwilling to serve as the Minister of War anymore. Your Majesty's arrangements are excellent."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Since you all have no objections, it's settled. Arrange for Qi Shanjun to serve as the governor of Yizhou, and dispatch 20,000 Shence troops under Li Buyi to Yizhou. After all, Li Buyi has returned from Yuzhou. In addition, Li Buyi has already returned from Yuzhou. Bu Yi went with him, took over the 40,000 elite soldiers brought by Deng Zhong, and reorganized them into the Shence Army."
Zhuge Shang said: "Your Majesty, in order to appease Deng Zhong, we still need an envoy to greet him. I plan to go there in person."
"That's right!"
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes, and he said: "You have brought this person here, and I will hold a banquet to honor Deng Zhong."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhuge Shang answered respectfully.
Zhao Shan looked at Fang Weihu and ordered: "Fang Qing, we must make arrangements as soon as possible to send troops to Japan after the year."
Fang Weihu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have been pushing forward."
Zhao Shan said no more, waved his hand, and Fang Weihu and Zhuge Shang retreated hand in hand.
