Chapter 1345: Winning the Country

Zhang Dun said: "Things are prioritized. Although the Duke of Shu has not mentioned a word, we should discuss merits and rewards first, then discuss the rationality of the three-way administrative areas, and then discuss the issue of dispatching officials from the three-way."

"The most urgent among them is the merit reward, because this should also be announced at the great court meeting, and the most urgent among the merit rewards is the issue of Gongsu Oil of Shu."

Cai Que cupped his hands and said: "My achievements in expanding the land thousands of miles have even surpassed that of the founding ministers. I have to think carefully about how to reward him. How about...honoring him as a county king?"

"No!" Everyone objected.

Zhang Dun said: "Previously, I proposed to grant Tong Zhongshu's family peace, but the Duke of Shu was not in Zhongshu, which was inconsistent with the rules. The power of local officials is the same as that of the prime minister, which is not enough for future generations, so I resolutely declined."

Wang Gui also felt that it was inappropriate: "There is no precedent for this in our dynasty. The founding kings of the previous dynasty already had extremely important industrial honors, so Taizu honored him with thatched soil in order to express his power in the vassal town."

"Among the meritorious officials, only Zhao Pu and Cao Bin were granted the title of king, and they were awarded the title after their death."

"Famous instruments are of great importance and should not be taken lightly."

Sun Gu was thinking about another issue: "The Duke of Shu is still less than forty years old and has a long official career. His Majesty can leave it to his descendants for great use. If the reward is too high now, it will be difficult to handle later."

Cai Que's suggestion was actually a deliberate attempt to flatter him.

If Su You is crowned king, he will directly become the same mascot as Gao Zunyu. From now on, he can only rest on his credit book and wait for death, without daring to interfere in the court again.

For Cai Que, it was like losing a big opponent.

Lu Gongzhu said: "There is not only the problem of Su You, but also the problem of Jia Liang. Su You's report also said that Jia Liang resolutely rejected the title of Liang Guogong, thinking it was too high and inconsistent with etiquette.

The position of envoy is also considered not to be hereditary."

Sun Gu shook his head: "Xia Ting is also stupid. If he had used such a wise minister earlier, instead of taking precautions at every turn, Xia Kingdom would not have perished in one battle."

Wang Gui said: "This Jialiang now seems to be a humble minister who has retired and made things clear. I think the Duke of Shu's idea of ​​setting up the three roads is good. Then we will set up the three-way transportation department, promote the Changping department, and give some suggestions."

Just go to the Prison Department."

Cai Que said: "But the new server of Xia Kingdom is far away. Even if it is divided into three routes, it still needs an important minister to take charge of everything. At the very least, the reputation must be better than Jialiang's, the military must be better than Li Wenzhao, and the political affairs must be better than Liang Yiduo's.

Buried, words are better than words, right?"

What you said makes so much sense!

Lu Gongzhu pondered for a long time: "To bring order out of chaos, it's easy to do things with ease. The only person in the court who has experience before... seems to be the only Duke of Shu?"

Wang Gui said: "Then we should follow Wen Yanbo's example and set up the Ningxia Capital Transfer Department to govern Xingzhou and put the Duke of Shu in charge. All suggestions are accepted, how about that?"

Lu Gongzhu said: "If this is the case, additional supervision must be sent. This is your Majesty's choice."

Zhao Xu's bag was basically full of killing talents, and the only one he could use was Li Shunju. He thought about it: "There was a discussion before, and the candidates for the capital were my uncle, the Duke, and Li Shunju. If that's the case, let's keep it.

"

"The Duke of Ningxia was appointed as the transfer envoy to the capital of Ningxia, Li Shunju was appointed as the pacifying envoy to the capital, and his uncle was appointed as the administrative envoy to the capital. They each built the shogunate and worked together with the general on the Western affairs."

"The officials of the three routes are ordered to be appointed by the Duke of Shu and report to the public."

"The governors of each state, um... following the old practice of the border state army in Hebei, we first select the generals to serve for one term, give the court some time, and then select the capable officials from among the officials to be elected to serve. What do you think?"

There is no other way to do this. Zhao Xu has now mastered it through experience and practice, and all the ministers call him wise.

"As for the rewards..." Zhao Xu thought for a moment: "The Duke of Shu just lifted up the feudal state by conquering the spirit of revival, so he refused to give it. He was ordered to die... ahem... he ordered his son Yi, Yue, and Prince Consort to be together.

Wei Wang Shen Zi Yanbi, Zhang Dunli Zi Shoujing, Chen Zhaoming Ziwu, accompanied the prince in reading."

Everyone expressed their approval, and finally Cai Jing handed over: "With such a complete victory, should His Majesty lead hundreds of officials to pay tribute to the Ancestral Temple and perform court tributes to appease the spirits of the ancestors? Although time is tight, Taichang Temple is now fully equipped with rituals and music.

, The palace people have been trained properly, Fan Ju is a little more complicated, but he will be ready before the Lantern Festival, I am confident."

Damn it! Everyone was dumbfounded. Zhao Xu had the most important name, and no one had the same name more than Chongzu. Why didn’t we think of that?!

Cai Yuanchang deserves this credit! It has only been a few days since the school director of Jixian Hall was dismissed? I am afraid he will be more important now!

…

Xingqing Mansion, southern suburbs military camp.

Su You set up the Six-Route Capital Strategy Bureau here, and after completing the political balance among Xixia's clan, relatives, and powerful ministers, he left Xingqing Mansion and never entered the inner palace again. He only ordered Gao Zunyu to clean up and defend.

, Liang Yiduo buried the disaster to treat the injured, and Jia Liang led the officials to restore the market, while he hid here, writing a development outline, and waiting for Li Shunju's arrival.

As a result, Li Shunju not only came, but also brought Zhao Xu's edict and Su You's latest appointment.

After reading the edict, Su You was in a daze: "I never thought that one day, I would become the father of a princeling..."

Li Shunju said: "There is no doubt that your Majesty attaches great importance to the Duke, and he also has high expectations for the two young masters."

Su You raised his hands in the direction of Bianjing and said, "Your Majesty has been so kind to you, and it is difficult for Su You to repay it. Let's go, I will take the palace envoy to check the account books, palace rooms, and warehouses. I won't dare to act rashly until you come."

Li Shunju sighed: "What a pity."

Su You was a little surprised: "What's the pity?"

Li Shunju said: "Everyone in the world knows Mingrun's wisdom, Mingrun's ability, and Mingrun's virtue. But they don't know Mingrun's integrity. It's a pity."

"Such as Bao Zheng, Tang Jie, Zhao Pian, Bi Shi'an, and Geng Jie established themselves and gained a reputation for integrity. For someone like Mingrun, who flattened a country without taking the smallest detail, can't he deserve the reputation of being honest?"

Su You waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't afford it. If I were like them, I would definitely not want to be an official. I have to ensure my own life first before I can take care of others."

"I can't even understand how people like Mr. Bao and Mr. Tang, who are so poor, dare to go to the Shouji Department. It's such a test of their character."

"If it were me, I could do anything and it wouldn't matter."

Li Shunju felt funny: "I am talking about being honest as an official, and you are talking about making the family rich. These are two different things."

Su You disagreed: "If you can't bring your whole family together, how can you help the officials to govern the country? It's only right to make the bride and children not hungry first. Otherwise, it's very likely that you will use your position to reach out to the country."

Li Shunju twitched the corner of his mouth, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Mingrun, this... is a solution..."

At the gate of the city, Liang Yiduo, Wei Mingji and Jia Liang led all Xia officials, dressed in mourning clothes, supporting Bingchang's coffin and waiting for the arrival of Su You, Li Shunju and Gao Zunyu.

Wei Mingji tremblingly handed over Bingchang's seal and gold talisman, waiting for Li Shunju to receive them.

Li Shunju shook his head and said kind words to console him: ""Zuo Zhuan" records that Xu Nan surrendered to Chu and became the king. His face was bound, and he held a jade. The official was in mourning, and the scholar was in charge."

"The situation was very similar to today, but actually it was different."

"The Xia Kingdom did not surrender, and the Song Dynasty did not conquer it."

"The current situation was caused by the Prime Minister of the Xia Kingdom imprisoning the emperor and repeatedly provoking and attacking the Song Dynasty. The entire responsibility lies with Liang Yimi."

"Afterwards, there were unbearable things to say between mother and son. Out of etiquette, the Song Dynasty had no choice but to reduce the title of the successor."

"But the Song Dynasty will not abandon the responsibility of the suzerain for survival and survival; the Song Dynasty will not abandon the responsibility of appeasing the people of Xia Kingdom; the responsibility of cultivating and educating the princes, and showing mercy to the king's unborn son, the Song Dynasty will not abandon."

"Now that the traitor has been crowned and the war is over, in the edict of the King of Compassion, there is a plan to return to China, which means that the Xia Kingdom is entrusted to the sect master."

"So today is not to accept surrender, but to mourn for the king. After burying the king, we must also mourn for the soldiers of Song and Xia who died in this incident and the people, and hold a grand ceremony for them."

"Afterwards, the Great Song Dynasty announced that it would take over the existing territory of Xia State, govern this area according to the Song system, and restore peace to the people of the twenty-six counties."

"After that, we will let the people of the twenty-six counties no longer be exploited and made things difficult by the harsh laws of powerful officials, and they will work hard to recover and live a better life."
