The first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office is that his senior fellow apprentices also have to hand in a certificate of nomination when they take office. How……
Xie Jing was also depressed.
Senior brother Zhou Lin finally shouted aloud, what about him? He didn't even see the shadow of the Khitan people.
So, she flattened her peach lips again.
Di Ying looked amused.
Shake your head and go to town.
The Khitans entered from the east city gate and retreated, but Di Ying rushed dozens of miles outside the west city gate. Fearing that the enemy would attack the city, he asked Zhou Lin to take the lead.
It was tantamount to letting Zhou Lin perform an empty city strategy.
But Di Ying didn't expect that his reputation would be so useful. The purpose of asking Zhou Lin to shout was to boost the morale of the people in the city and the soldiers.
Not using his Di Ying name to improve, but the kind of person who is in despair and hears that reinforcements are coming.
Unexpectedly, Sun Xingrong immediately withdrew. Is this because he is afraid that Di Ying will arouse resistance among the soldiers and civilians in the city?
Di Ying had no time to think deeply.
When he arrived, the west city gate had already been opened by Zhou Lin.
After Di Ying entered the city, he immediately asked the people to return to their homes and fields, and quickly resumed normal production and life within the boundaries of Weizhou with lightning speed.
The people of Weizhou were grateful and admired Master Di, and erected a stone tablet to praise his kindness.
And when His Majesty heard that Di Ying used his name to scare Sun Xingrong away, he laughed very strangely.
Su Hong took the opportunity to go to the toilet and laughed openly.
He was filled with emotion: Di Huaijie, Di Huaijie, he really has the miraculous ability to defeat others without fighting. It’s okay not to accept it.
This is probably the greatest expression of the people's aspirations.
However, after Su Hong returned after laughing, he heard His Majesty murmuring: "Sure enough, he is the number one person in Dounan. He is honest and does not deceive me."
"The number one person in Dounan" refers to Di Ying and Di Huaijie.
In fact, the old emperor really did not joke about the war, nor did he intend to torture Di Huaijie to death. She had heard of Di Huaijie's title, and she knew clearly: Di Huaijie was the only one who could defeat Sun Xingrong.
After Li Zhen's rebellion, the old emperor received a tip: Di Ying had been to Xingzhou between Jizhou and Weizhou.
I also received a tip: Sun Xingrong occasionally mentioned Di Ying and respected and respected Di Ying. Including the people of Khitan, they all heard about Di Ying's reputation.
Sun Xingrong has rebelled. If others are sent to suppress it, it will be difficult to be effective, and it will be extremely difficult to resist the rising arrogance of the rebels.
Maybe they will be able to win one city after another.
And only Di Ying. Even if his name is not popular in Khitan, as long as it is still useful among the people of the country and the people, and can use it to mobilize the morale of the people and the military, then at least he can use the fastest and best method to solve this sudden crisis. fighting.
Sure enough, it worked.
Su Hong also saw once again: the old emperor's vision of knowing people well, his decisive courage, and his extraordinary courage and determination.
The eternal empress does not gain fame in vain.
…
Di Ying also felt that His Majesty was too good at forgetting things.
At the same time, I just felt a little cold on my back.
Your Majesty wants everyone to return home, but there is still a long way to go. And he Di Ying...
He rubbed his face and asked the people not to carve those stone tablets. But after trying to dissuade him several times to no avail, he gave up.
I can’t control it anyway, so it’s better to do more practical things.
Because the people were driven into the city before, the crops in many fields were damaged. Seeing that this year's food will become a huge gap in the people's lives.
Di Ying went to Xuzhou after the people had settled down and resumed production and life.
Now the only place closest to Weizhou that has enough food reserves is there.
Xuzhou has abundant grain production and has been far away from wars and Li Zhen's rebellion, so there is indeed enough food.
However, the governor of Xuzhou, Yi Yongsi, made things difficult for Di Ying.
"Huaijie, it's because I don't want to lend you food. As for your difficulties, I also know it. The cities around Weizhou cannot protect themselves, and I, Xuzhou City, are far away. You are the latest.
As for you, I'm afraid you not only want to help the people of Weizhou borrow food, but also want to help the people of Jizhou borrow some food, right? After all, they had just been looted by the Khitans.
To be honest, the grain I have here is indeed enough for the two states to get over the current hurdle. You can also wait until the court allocates grain to you, and then you can pay it back to me. I absolutely trust your character and credibility, Di Huaijie.
But Huaijie, you come here with empty hands and only one mouth, and you ask me to give you everything. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?
I have solved your problem, do you also have to help me solve my problem? It's reciprocity, right? "
When Di Ying heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly. He knew that there was something in Yi Yongsi's words.
But I was so poor that I even had a hole in my underwear, so what could I exchange with Yi Yongsi? Yi Yongsi could not be unclear about this.
So, Yi Yong thought was using his own connections?
Di Ying smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Brother, you have been an official in the court for decades and have experienced ups and downs. Do you have much more knowledge and deeper connections than Huai Jie? I believe that no matter what it is, When the problem comes into your hands, can't it be easily solved?
However, if you, brother, are really in trouble, Huaijie and I can help. Just ask, Huaijie and I will try my best to do my best. "
Di Ying fought hard for food.
Yi Yongsi said with a sentimental look on his face: "Di Huaijie, Di Huaijie, this is what I have been waiting for. You also know that I have been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades, and there are still many old friends among my disciples. .
As you can see, I am getting older, now sixty-five years old, and both my body and my energy are far from enough. I just want to beg for my bones, retire to my hometown, take care of myself, and spend time with my family.
However, when I really wanted to do this, I hesitated. You said that I have lived to this age, and at the end of the day, I am just a third-level governor of Shangzhou... I just retired, and my face is not so good.
Naturally, I want to go further up and return to my ancestors in glory. It’s just that I’ve been thinking about it over and over again, and only you, Brother Huaijie, can help me with this. "
Di Ying: "..."
If you want to move up to the third rank, it won't matter what the Minister of Civil Affairs says. It will only be useful if His Majesty personally approves it.
Not to mention whether His Majesty is willing to promote Yi Yongsi, even if he is willing, what will Di Ying give in exchange for His Majesty?
Even if there is a replacement, it is not that fast to go back and forth to the capital city, and the people in those two states are still waiting for food to fill their stomachs.
It's impossible for Yi Yongsi not to consider this, so...
