"The king does not have many relatives, and we have just settled in Sihong, and our foundation is not stable... If we can marry the king, we can completely consolidate our position in Sihong, and the king can also have relatives as our wings, the best of both worlds. !”
Xu Xuan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Han Xizai put down the wine glass in his hand and frowned slightly.
"You want me to sell my daughter for glory?"
In the room, besides Han Xizai and Xu Xuan, was Zhou Zong who had followed him to Sihong.
When he heard Xu Xuan's words, his expression suddenly changed, revealing a cold expression.
Xu Xuan said: "Brother Zhou, don't be angry, just listen to me! My brother's two daughters are very famous. They became queens in the history books. Although when we came to the mainland of China, nothing in history had happened yet. …”
"But the identity of the queen has been nailed down in the original history. In this case, which young talent dares to risk being tabooed by the king to ask for Brother Zhou's daughter?"
Zhou Zong was born as a bodyguard around Liezu Liezu of the Southern Tang Dynasty. What he is most famous for is not how powerful he is, but for raising two good daughters.
She entered the palace successively and became Li Yu's queen.
That is, the big week queen and the small week queen.
Xu Xuan is right. Zhou Zong's two daughters were still hair-length girls at this time, but their identities are known to many scholars.
If other people want to marry the queen of Zhou Dynasty, it will inevitably arouse the taboo of the monarch. Oh, even the queens in history dare to marry. Do you still want to be the emperor in the future?
This taboo can be understood with a little thought.
Zhou Zong also darkened his face. As Xu Xuan said, the only way out for his two daughters was to enter the palace to serve the king.
Han Xizai kept listening to the two people talking.
He turned the wine glass and said slowly: "Brother Xu is right. If the two nieces enter the palace, it will be a good home, but it all depends on Brother Zhou's wishes!"
After he and Zhou Zong came to Sihong, they won official positions and rewards for their merits, but besides him, there were a large family of clan members who were still unaccounted for.
As the head of the Han family, he also has to think about the future of his family.
With his current official position, it will take at least several years for Han to fully establish a foothold in the Huai Army. Only by continuously making meritorious deeds can you gain the respect of the king.
If Xu Xuan is listened to and allowed to enter the palace, he, Zhou Zong and others will suddenly become the king's "own family".
Getting established and growing is easy.
Zhou Zong's expression kept changing, he took a sip of wine and said, "I understand what Brother Han means, I will seriously consider this matter!"
"Well, don't worry, the princess is just pregnant now, so it's not appropriate to mention this to the king at this time!"
Han Xizai said: "When this matter is over, I will go to the king to ask for the selection of a beautiful girl to supplement the palace. It will not be too late for the two nieces to enter the palace!"
…
After the army returned to Sihong.
The first thing to do is to reward the entire army and promote those who have made outstanding contributions.
Wang Jing looked at the merit list of the army, discussed with Shen Yi, Bu Zhi and others, and promoted Zhang Lin, who had made great achievements, to General Huben, Yang Kan to Staff General, Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng to Qianhu.
Li Kaifang and Mai Tiezhang were equally successful in guarding one side. One was promoted to General Jianwei and the other to General Yingyang.
All three of them were ranked as miscellaneous. Qualified to command an army of more than 50,000 people.
Zhang Lin was promoted to a miscellaneous number because of his many achievements. In every battle, he followed Wang Jing's orders without making any compromises.
Whether attacking Fulong or conquering Hou Jing and Yang Xingmi, Zhang Lin was at the forefront and was the actual forward general.
For such generals who are willing to work hard, Wang Jing will definitely ensure that their efforts will not be in vain.
As for Mai Tiezhang and Li Kaifang, they are very senior and have made many contributions.
They were stationed in Xihe and Suining respectively, and they were constantly fighting wits and courage with Xiang Jiajun and Nanyan Navy. There were no large-scale fights, but there were many small-scale raids and tests.
After their merits have been accumulated, no one can say anything when they are promoted to generals.
Among the Huai army, there were many qualified generals, such as Zhang Guiba, Yang Kan, Fei Ju, and Lu Zhongheng.
It's just that military merit is the most important in the army.
In the process of attacking Pang Shigu, Zhang Guiba behaved well and had hidden selfish motives. Therefore, Wang Jing did not promote him to an official position, but only rewarded him with ten jars of fine wine and some gold, silver and silk. Granted five hundred acres of land...
Yang Kan's contribution is not small, but being promoted to the rank of general and being responsible for Qinghe is already a very important position, and there is no need for further rewards and promotions.
The same goes for Fei Ju and Lu Zhongheng.
Chen Yi, Bu Zhi, Zhu Wu and others also received rewards.
After the reward.
From the generals down to the soldiers, everyone is very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, all the rewards have been distributed to the soldiers. They are under the supervision of military judges. There is no evidence of drinking the soldiers' blood or enriching their own pockets. The army sergeants and soldiers recognize the Huai Army more."
"The original Nanliang soldiers, Huainan soldiers, Tang soldiers, etc., except for the headquarters troops of several generals, all other soldiers have been integrated into the Huai army system!"
In the government office half a street away from the palace, Wang Jingzheng summoned several close men to discuss matters.
Due to the pregnancy of the princess and the continuous improvement of various central departments, the original palace could no longer accommodate so many officials.
So Wang Jing directly moved the three provinces center half a street away.
Bu Zhao is the privy envoy, supervises the Ministry of War, and is responsible for issuing rewards to the army's sergeants. In the future, new privy envoys will be added to the Privy Council. At that time, the promotion and transfer of soldiers will be under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.
"There are also wealthy families such as the Qiao family, the Chen family, and the Yuan family. After learning that the king had an heir, they all sent congratulatory gifts!"
Shen Yi added with a smile.
Wang Jing said with a smile: "These people are very discerning. By the way, how do these children of wealthy families perform when they join the army and become officials?"
"I don't know about the children of wealthy families who join the army, but those children of wealthy families who are willing to go through screening and assessment to become officials have performed quite well. These people are not weak in work ability. After hard training, the county magistrate and prefects dare not say it, but they will become the county's chief The six Cao officials are still competent!"
Shen Yi replied.
"The background of a wealthy family is indeed different from that of ordinary people!"
Wang Jing sighed secretly in his heart.
He did not think about eradicating the foundation for the growth of aristocratic families in the territory he had laid, because this was unrealistic.
What is a wealthy family?
A family with inheritance, foundation, wealth and people can be called a wealthy squire. If each generation can produce talents to maintain the family business, it is a noble family.
Later Wang Jing established a dynasty.
The many civil and military generals who followed him to conquer the world were the seeds of aristocratic families.
Wang Jing understood this in his heart.
These aristocratic families under the rule should be used when they should be used, and suppressed when they should be suppressed. We should not treat the aristocratic families as savage beasts just because of the dangers they saw in the original world.
