Prime Minister

Chapter 683

Guo Kui said that this time the frontier meritorious service has been rewarded by many people.

Zhang Yue and Wang Shao are ranked first.

Zhang Yue was originally a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, but was demoted to the right minister, and then returned to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to reinstatement of the official.

As for the official position, it was upgraded from the Tianzhang Pavilion waiting system to the Longtu Pavilion waiting system. This Longtu Pavilion waiting system is the first among the waiting systems.

Xixia and Fanren didn't understand the official positions of the Song Dynasty. They only knew that those with the word Longtu in their titles were high officials, and they called them Longtu Laozi.When Fan Zhongyan was a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion in the four prefectures of Shuaibin, Yan, Jing and Qing, the Fan tribe all called him Longtu Laozi.

Because of Fan Zhongyan, when the official ordered Zhang Yue to know Xizhou as Longtu Pavilion, he also wanted to use this name to use the power of Longtu Pavilion to subdue the Tibetan tribe and manage side affairs.

The dispatch is Zhixizhou, the full name is Zhixizhou Military State Affairs.

This is Zhizhou.

Xizhou is a newly established military state, and the officials let Zhang Yue be the magistrate of the state, so they know how much they value him.

Qinzhou is the upper state, and Xizhou is the lower state. From Shangzhou Tongju to Xiazhou Zhizhou, this is a normal promotion in the officialdom.However, it is an exception for Zhang Yue to be promoted after half a year of Ren Tong's sentence.

Zhang Yue calmed down when he heard the words, but he took a look and saw that Wang Shao hesitated to speak, obviously wanted to ask Guo Kui but held back.

Looking at Wang Shao's emotions, we can see his enthusiasm for fame.But Guo Kui was the same, as if he knew what Wang Shao was thinking, but he deliberately didn't say what Wang Shao's official position was, in order to whet his appetite.

For a formal reward, there must be an imperial edict. Guo Kui just heard the news in advance, and he really has no obligation to answer.

Guo Kui turned to talk about Han Jiang with Zhang Yue.

Guo Kui's tone was actually a little gloating.

It turned out that Han Jiang had resigned, and he won [-] victories in thirteen battles with Xixia, two draws, and captured and recruited tens of thousands of Xixia troops. However, because of the Liao Kingdom's dispatch of troops, he had to abandon the built Luowu City and Funing Fort. Wait for Liuzhai.

A lot of people's resources and material resources were wasted, and it cost 700 million yuan to send troops at the same time, but did not get an inch of land.

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 immunity law.

Because Han Jiang felt that he couldn't get along with Wang Anshi, and because he had spent a lot of money and food because of the futility of his teachers, Shangshu said that it was his own guilt to gain and lose Luowu City, so he resigned.

Wen Yanbo will never let go of this opportunity to pursue and fight fiercely, and Shangshu wants to hold Han Jiang accountable.

After deliberations at the court, it was believed that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao were credited with capturing Lanzhou, Huizhou, Xizhou, and Han Jiang, at least they killed a lot in the battle with Xixia.

In the end, the officials agreed to Han Jiang's resignation, and at the same time added a bachelor of Guanwendian.

If the prime minister leaves the phase normally, he will be added as a scholar of Guanwendian as usual. If the prime minister is dismissed, he will not be added as a scholar of Guanwendian.Lu Gongbi retired from the post of privy envoy. He was also a scholar of Jiaguan Wendian and knew Taiyuan Mansion.

The officials gave Han Jiang this treatment, indicating that he was dismissed rather than dismissed.

The officials let Han Jiang know about the Daming Mansion.

As for the generals such as Zhong Er who sent troops, they were all demoted.

Lu Dafang under the curtain still knew Yanzhou because of his futility in persuasion, but he was dismissed and knew the imperial edict.

In another time and space history, Han Jiang, Zhong Er, and Lu Dafang were severely punished.Now because of the fact that the Gyeongju Mutiny did not happen, and Zhang Yue, Wang Shao's contribution on the western front is offset.

Guo Kui was very happy to know that Han Jiang was unlucky.

Guo Kui is simply Guo Banxian, his mouth seems to have been opened very effectively.

Guo Kui also told Zhang Yue a news.

Han Zhen, the magistrate of Qinzhou, was severely punished for killing the commander Fu Qing.

Zhang Yue gave him meritorious service in his memorabilia, and a word of strategizing was enough to keep Han Zhen's post in the library, but he was relieved of his duties as an envoy and temporarily returned to the Xijing branch.

Zhang Yue thought to himself that Han Zhen's dismissal was obviously implicated by Han Jiang's loss of power.However, Han Zhen did kill people. This matter is indisputable. It's just that when Han Jiang was around, he could press it down, but now he can't cover it.

Zhang Yue thought to himself that with Han Jiang's resignation as Zhao Wenxiang, it also meant that he lost one backer.Will the father-in-law fall to Wang Anshi or Wen Yanbo in the court?

But Zhang Yue wondered why Guo Kui was so happy when Han Jiang and Han Zhen left?

Zhang Yue suddenly had a thought and hurriedly said: "The next officer congratulates the Taiwei!"

Guo Kui smiled and said, "Where does this congratulation come from?"

Zhang Yue said: "As soon as Han Jinglue left, it should be Qinfeng Road in Taiweijie Town now."

Wang Shao also suddenly realized that Zhang Yue was really sharp, but after Guo Kui became his immediate boss, would he still have a good life?

Guo Kui laughed and said, "It's really good to give up people."

It turned out that the imperial court had decreed that Guo Kui, the envoy of Xuanhui South Court and the Xiongwu Army, should serve as the appeasement envoy of Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy and the general manager of the Mabu Army, and sentenced Qinzhou.

This shows that Guo Kui has regained the trust of the officials.

Guo Kui, who opposed sending troops to attack Luowu City before, not only has merit but also no fault, and this time he sent troops to cooperate with Zhang Yue. Therefore, it was once again appreciated by officials.

Guo Kui laughed and said, "It's also thanks to Sheren that he captured Sanzhou this time, otherwise I don't know where I would be sitting on the bench."

Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to be, the officials have always relied heavily on the Taiwei."

The credit for conquering the three states this time is too great, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao must have contributed first, and Wang Shao was recommended by Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue can be ranked first, but he only mentions a few sentences in his memorial, and the rest is the credit of others.

For example, Han Jiang, Han Zhen's support for his own troops at the beginning, Wang Shao, Wang Hou and his father are not afraid of death... In short, there are no big or small things, and small achievements must be recorded.

In short, when the Privy Council discussed the rewards, they were stunned when they saw the list submitted by Zhang Yue. There was such a long list, and hundreds of people were listed in one breath.

How many officials will be sealed?How many people are rewarded?
Many discerning officials in the DPRK could see that when the Taixue Su brothers criticized current affairs, it was Yan Fu and other five who made a fuss. Forfeited all responsibilities, and was finally demoted to three ranks.

Now that the three states were recovered, Zhang Yue deserved the most credit, but he didn't claim the credit. Instead, he enumerated a list of hundreds of rewards in one go.

In addition to rewards, credit can also be used to make up for sins.

Han Jiang, Han Zhen, and Zhang Yue, who were supposed to be punished, all spoke well for them in memorials, and once opposed Hengshan's use of troops, and Guo Kui, who was politically incorrect, also regained the favor of officials.

Guo Kui is a discerning person, and there are too many people in the officialdom who take the credit and pass the blame, but there are too few officials like Zhang Yue who take the credit for themselves and attribute it to others.

He thought to himself, no wonder Mr. Han valued this man so much, he really has a great vision.

However, Guo Kui chatted with Zhang Yue for a long time, but he never mentioned Wang Shao's award, which really made Wang Shao very angry.

Guo Kui continued to pinch Wang Shao, and said to Yan: "The old man came here to ask the family, is there anything I can do to help?"

Zhang Yue said: "The Taiwei also saw that we are short of people here, not Fan people, but Han people. My Xizhou is only free and airy, but there are no people below."

Guo Kui said: "It's easy. The officials have allowed the establishment of the Qinfeng Road Edge Appeasement Department. When you manage this department, you can recruit officials yourself."

"However, manpower is indeed difficult. We have only so many people on Qinfeng Road. Even when we heard that we were going to move to Qinzhou, everyone was afraid of it, let alone Xizhou. Now Qinzhou only has assassins. There are more than a hundred people in the army."

Zhang Yue said: "Those who are supposed to serve as soldiers? Well, I want all of them."

Guo Kui laughed and said, "Oh? Sheren seems to be really short of people, so let me show you a way. I heard that the imperial court is having a headache and how to deal with the Guangrui Army who failed the mutiny in Gyeongju, as well as the Rouyuanzhai, Sanyuan, etc. The soldiers of the capital village."

Zhang Yuexi said: "I also ask the imperial court to dispatch all of them to Xizhou."

Guo Kui laughed and said, "These people are all thugs, and they have participated in mutiny, can you control them?"

Zhang Yue said: "Since the Tibetans can be recruited into the army, what about us Han people? I will make arrangements."

Guo Kui smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll go to Wenjiang to get these thousands of soldiers for you. If something goes wrong then, don't blame the old man."

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "I am the one who accepts the Taiwei's favor. If possible, it would be best for their families to move to Xizhou as well."

Guo Kui laughed and said, "You really are not afraid."

Zhang Yue smiled.

Another Guangrui Army who participated in the mutiny in the history of time and space, as well as the guards of Rouyuan Village and Sandu Village, were later pursued by the court and killed.

When the officials heard that so many people died, they couldn't bear it to the extreme, so they blamed themselves very much and canceled the spring banquet in a bad mood.Later, Han Jiang was severely punished, which was also the reason why too many people died in the Gyeongju Mutiny.

Now these people are not only alive, but Zhang Yue wants to recruit all of them and put them in the Xizhou military camp.

Zhang Yue asked: "I don't know who it is, who can put down the mutiny?"

Guo Kui laughed and said, "The Sheren don't even know?"

Zhang Yue shook his head, Xizhou is hundreds of miles away from Qinzhou, it is really difficult for him to get the news.

Guo Kui nodded and said, "You never would have guessed that the people who settled this matter were Zhang Zhizhang, Zhang Zizheng, who signed the letter from Longzhou, and Zhang Yizhang, the husband of the Xuanfu Department."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but lose his voice when he heard the words, he didn't expect that his nephew and Zhang Wei were the ones who made the credit.

Guo Kui said: "The two of you have gone to Beijing to receive rewards 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 Yuan and command Wu Kui. It was your nephew who was alone. He joined the rebel army and persuaded Wu Kui in the chaos of knives. He also pledged his life and wealth to guarantee that the court would never pursue this matter, so as to ensure the safety of the soldiers."

Zhang Yue's face turned pale after hearing this, and Zhang Zhi was desperate to take such a big risk.

Guo Kui said: "After listening to your nephew's words, all the Guangrui army believed it. Afterwards, Wang Guangyuan was tempted to use the Fan army to massacre all the Guangrui troops who participated in the rebellion.

"But your nephew paid for it with his life, and with a white knife across his neck, he said that if Wang Guangyuan broke his promise, he would die now. In the end, Wang Guangyuan had to compromise. Afraid that Wang Guangyuan would go back on his word, your nephew moved into the Guangrui army to join the soldiers. Eat and live together."

"It can be said that the entire Guangrui Army is able to survive because of your nephew. Speaking of which, this old man is also very impressed."

Guo Kui was very moved when he heard this.
