Chapter 344(1/2)
Yelu Yuji is struggling, suffering, and hesitating...
In the palace and in the Zichen Hall, Qin Zong Zhao Huan was indeed happy.
If we only look at talent and learning, Rod is not as good as Chen Gui. After all, he is a serious imperial examination, and is a hundred times better than Rod, a half-baked man who was kicked out after he failed to graduate from a college. But if we think about human nature, Rod is far better than Chen Gui.
He knew very well what Qinzong needed now, so he boldly made suggestions and used military service to the Jurchens.
In fact, this strategy did make Zhao Huan extremely happy.
Three months earlier... No, even two months earlier, Zhao Huan may not agree to start a war with the Jurchens, and may even question the sacrificial master.
But now, the situation is different.
The content of the Yanshan Alliance was leaked, which made Zhao Huan feel so anxious.
The people were buried in the palace and the Taixue strikes, which made him look faceless... It would be fine. The Taishang Taoist Lord Zhao Ji was lifted from house arrest and returned to the court. Although the emperor was still Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji's aggressive murderous intent made him feel a chill that he had never felt before. The chill was even stronger than the Jin soldiers besieging Kaifeng City.
"Duanru, I know my intentions."
Zhao Huan smiled with his palms, and Zhu Lian, who was sitting beside him, was also happy for him.
"Father, the prince who captured the mouth of Zijingling is the son's personal army."
Zhao Chen smiled and asked Zhao Huan for credit, which made Zhao Huan even more happy. Yes, in this battle, the prince’s personal army should be the first to win!
The military achievements made by the prince's personal army are the prince's military achievements; the prince's military achievements are also his contribution.
"I never thought that this jade butcher is indeed a powerful general.
The surprise attack on the mouth of Zijingling Ridge under the blizzard and beheaded nearly a thousand times, which is also the first achievement.
Not bad, not bad..." Zhao Huan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the first achievement, I cannot treat him badly.
If this happens, I will order him to be a Danzhou troupe envoy. What does the saint think?"
Zhu Lian was stunned and frowned.
"Danzhou Troupe Training Envoy has passed some time."
The regiment training envoy is a false position. He does not take charge of the troops in this state, but is a military officer from the second rank.
Yu Yin is now just a sixth-grade person who has been promoted from a group training envoy at once, which is indeed something that has never happened since the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Huan then realized that Yu Yin's actual official position.
Fortunately, this is a shame in front of my family. If you say such words in the court, you will definitely be opposed by the ministers.
At that moment, Zhao Huan hesitated and said softly: "What position should the saint do?"
Zhu Lian smiled and said, "The inner palace does not interfere in politics, and I just say it casually."
"Then the saint just talks about it. There is no need to take it seriously."
There was a bit of anticipation in Zhao Chen's eyes, which made Zhu Lian feel a little embarrassed. Of course, she knew what Zhao Chen was thinking. Yu Yin was Zhao Chen's person, so she naturally hoped that Yu Yin could get benefits. But the problem was that Yu Yin, the prince's personal army commander, was not at the level of the rank. His real official position, or a doctor in the Ministry of War, was not considered a high-ranking official.
When Yu Yin got a blessing from Huang Shang.
But after all, he has no fame and fortune. Even if he has made great achievements, he is not as good as an imperial examination...
After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Lian whispered: "I remember that the situation in Jizhou is quite chaotic. Why not imitate other places and set up inspection departments? For example, the Jizhou inspection department, and asking Yu Xiaoyi to do an inspection is enough to reward his contribution."
Jizhou Inspection Department?
Zhao Huan was quite moved.
He thought about it and nodded, "It's good that this is the case. He also wants to assist Duan Ru in Yanshan Prefecture, so it's not an exaggeration to do a patrol.
Well, Jizhou Inspection Department, let him do a fifth-rank inspection."
Although Zhao Chen was reluctant, he did not dare to speak again after being glared at by Zhu Lian.
Zhao Huan thought about it and handed the memorial of Zhong Shidao to Zhao Chen, "Brother, I'll have someone copy it later and take it to the newspaper office, so that the twenty-six Lang can type it overnight. Tomorrow morning, the whole city will know the news of the great victory in Yanshan Prefecture."
It was just a small Zijingling entrance, and when it reached Zhao Huan's mouth, it turned into a great victory in Yanshan Prefecture.
But there is no way. Only in this way can we offset the impact of the previous Yanshan Alliance. Of course, since it was a great victory in Yanshan Prefecture, it is far from enough to rely on a small Zijinglingkou and Yinchengfang. Zhao Huan pondered for a moment, and then he found Zhang Danian and passed on the decree.
"Hebei East Road pacifying and controlling the commander Zhong Shizhong, who was fully responsible for the Battle of Yanshan.
There is the right to be proficient in matters of big or small, and you can make your own decisions. Tell Master Zhong that I hope this victory will be more and bigger."
"Then the thief..."
"Tomorrow, let Yan Xueshi go and tell the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, saying that the Jin Kingdom did not comply with the alliance, started a war, and attacked our Baima Mountain Song army. Could it be that we wanted to go to war with our Song Dynasty?"
No one can explain this political matter clearly.
Anyway, if you start the war, you start the war. Pucha Shi family slaves were ambushed at Qifeng, which was precisely under the rule of Yanshan Prefecture. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Jurchens started the war. The key is to show a tough enough attitude at this time. On the one hand, it is to deter the Jin Kingdom, and on the other hand, it is to calm the anger of the people.
In short, Zhao Huan made up his mind to take this opportunity to do a good show.
Of course, Zhu Lian knew Zhao Huan’s thoughts, and smiled slightly and stopped talking.
On the contrary, Zhao Chen suddenly had a strange thought in his mind: Xiao Yi once said that since ancient times, right and wrong, merit and demerit have been determined by victory or defeat. Today, the father’s behavior is abnormal and so tough, which may be the result of a great victory.
If I am in power in the future, I must learn this lesson.
reason?
Whoever has a big fist makes sense, so how can there be many twists and turns?
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen showed a bright smile on his face...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"A great victory in Yanshan Mansion?"
As soon as the sky was dawn, Kaifeng City became boiling.
The Song Dynasty Weekly published the news of the great victory in Yanshan Prefecture on the front page headline.
The Jin soldiers invaded the territory. Our Song Dynasty officials fought bloody battles... The prince's personal army fought bloody battles at the mouth of Zijingling, and defeated the enemy thieves to the point of falling flowers and flowing water.
This weekly magazine did not specify where the mouth of Zijingling is.
It is not clear that the Zijinglingkou was originally under the jurisdiction of the Jurchens. In other words, Zhao Huan used this method to abide by the ownership of the Zijinglingkou and threw the charge of opening the war to the Jurchens.
You should know that Kaifeng people hated Jurchens to the core.
The Yanshan Alliance was already infuriated, but now the Jin soldiers invaded the territory, which made people extremely angry. For a moment, the streets and alleys of Kaifeng City were excited. Everyone was scolding the Jurchens and praised the mighty Song army.
"The prince's personal army is indeed the most powerful army in our Song Dynasty.
Chen Qiao fought bloody battles, and the enemy thieves fled in panic; now Zijinglingkou has made another contribution, and the land is powerful!"
"Ha, I've known for a long time that Jade Lord is not ordinary.
If it weren't for the Jade Lord, I'm afraid the mouth of Zijingling Ridge would have been captured by the captured thieves."
"Yes, Yulangjun, I am the first hero of the Song Dynasty!"
People were talking nonsense, but some people inadvertently turned the topic to Emperor Qinzong.
"This time, the official family is tough, very different from before."
"Yes, I heard that as soon as the dawn of this morning, Yan Ying, the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion, visited the Jin Dynasty's mission and scolded the ruthlessness of the captive thieves."
"Yeah yeah. In my opinion, those ministers are still incompetent.
If my officials of the Song Dynasty were all like Xiaozhong Gong and Yu Langjun, how could they have the Yanshan Alliance?"
"That's right. The treacherous ministers are in power, and the treacherous ministers are in power..."
This is exactly the result Zhao Huan hopes to get. Only by throwing the charges to Mei Zhili and others can he be freed from the word "incompetence".
As for the future, let’s take a closer look.
But beyond Zhao Huan's expectations, he originally thought that Yelu Yuji was furious, but he did not expect that after this note, Yelu Yuji had no reaction. According to Yan Ying, Yelu Yuji was confused as if nothing had happened, as if the Jurchens had nothing to do with him.
Which one did Yelu Yuji sing?
Zhao Huan felt strange and couldn't help but add some concerns.
In November of the first year of Jingkang, the Song army captured Zijinglingkou and Yinchengfang.
But everyone knew that this was just the beginning... The Jin soldiers could not let go so easily, and they would definitely take revenge.
Therefore, after reporting the victory report to Kaifeng, Yu Yin and others planned it.
At this time, Chen Gui escorted more than 10,000 palm thunders to arrive at the mouth of Zijingling Mountain from Suning Village.
In addition to more than 10,000 palm thunders, he also brought five hundred improved muskets and a large number of two tigers chasing sheep arrows.
"Mr. Lang has done a great job and is truly determined. He can also hear the achievements of Mr. Lang. It is really envious."
Chen Gui laughed loudly and bowed to Yu Yin.
Yu Yin quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Yuan Ze is making fun of his family again. It's just a small victory. How can he get the word "achievement?"
As he spoke, he introduced Rhodes beside him to Chen Gui to know him.
Rhodes looked quite calm and had no special reaction.
However, there was an unusual light flashing in his eyes. He knew that his family had no fame and reputation, and he could not compare to Chen Gui's serious imperial examination. But after experiencing many things, he also knew very well. The more he did this, the more Yu Yin would value him. After all, Chen Gui would leave sooner or later, and he was the important aide that Yu Yin could rely on in the future.
