Zhao Gou looked at the important ministers below and said, "Li Yanxian and others have been in the process for a long time, but the reward has not been settled for a long time, and it seems that they are impatient. The ministers should settle the reward for Wang Xiaoli early."

Hu Jiaoxiu, a Hanlin scholar, said: "I went to Xijing and saw that the people were happy under Wang Xiaowei's rule, and everyone was willing to contribute to the country. His military discipline was strict and could not be compared with ordinary troops. It can be seen that Wang Xiaowei was in Xiangyang for several years and did put his heart into it. I think it is better to reward it."

Prime Minister Qin Hui said: "What the scholar said makes sense. However, in recent years, the expenses have been huge and the court has invested in them. If you give a heavy reward, you will definitely not be able to catch it."

Lu Yihao said: "Wang Xiaowei killed ten thousand gold households in Shanzhou, and had an unprecedented victory. If he did not give a heavy reward, wouldn't he feel the hearts of the other soldiers? No matter how difficult the court is, he should not be less rewarded. Also, although Wang Xiaowei was young, his military achievements were there and his reputation could not be low."

The two prime ministers, Lu Yihao, were in charge of the outside and Qin Hui, had their own division of labor. They had different attitudes towards Wang Xiaoli's reward.

After Quan Bangyan talked with Li Yanxian, Lin Wei and Tong Yuanqing that day, he suddenly woke up that Wang Xiaolie was a general with more than 100,000 troops in his hand and could not be regarded as an ordinary person. Moreover, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. The court must win over it, and it cannot stimulate Wang Xiaolie because of rewards. After listening to Quan Bangyan's words, Lu Yihao thought about it carefully and realized that he had thought badly before. With Wang Xiaolie's status, it was impossible for the current court to bargain.

Wang Xiaoli raised money and grain by himself. This alone would be nothing to restrain the court. What would he think if he deliberately gave the official position of rewards?

Zhao Gou looked at the Minister of Personnel Hong Jiong and Minister of War Li Guang. He said: "The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War believe that Wang Xiaohun should any position?"

Hong Yi held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is better to be under Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong. Change the great vassal states and set up the northwest and northeast of the capital, and enter the prefectures of the school."

Li Guangdao: "Wang Xiaoli was in Xiangyang and made many military achievements, which were not comparable to other generals. However, his garrison and his garrison were constantly chaotic and had poor connections. Kong Yanzhou was in Ezhou and did not obey the court's orders, causing trouble to the people. Zhang Taiwei's army would inevitably find it difficult to gain a foothold. In the future, the court would go to Xiangyang without any obstacles. Wang Xiaoli was in a high position, and he ruled the prefectures and counties, and the court sent officials."

Zhao Gou thought for a while and said, "Even without Kong Yanzhou, there will still be no peace between Ezhou and Huangzhou. Besides, there are Yangs in Dongting Lake, I am afraid that no officials will be willing to work in Xiangyang. Once there is chaos in Ezhou, the traffic will be cut off from the traffic."

Hong said: "The court took back all counties, and there are always officials who are willing to become officials."

Xie Ke's family, the deputy governor, said: "The court sent officials, who will pay the salary of these officials?"

Hong Mi was a little embarrassed. He said, "It's better to be hunted by Wang Xiao as before. The taxes there are all in Wang Xiao's hands to support the army. How can the court pay the officials' salaries? Wang Xiao hunts more than 100,000 troops, and he also needs taxes there to support the army, which is difficult for the court to collect them."

Qin Hui said: "Since it is a prefecture and county under the rule of the court, the taxes will naturally belong to the court. Wang Xiao hunted too many troops of more than 100,000, so he should be eliminated."

Lu Yihao looked at Qin Hui and said, "After Wang Xiao hunting for new victories, he wanted him to eliminate the army, so the matter should be discussed by Mr. Qin."

Qin Hui couldn't help but change his face when he heard this, but he just didn't dare to say anything.

Hu Jiaoxiu said: "When I arrived in Xijing, I saw that there were a shortage of officials there, and many prefectures and counties could only be managed by minor officials. It was really simple. If the court sent officials, it would be a good thing after all, and the salary would be hunted by Wang Xiao, and there would be nothing wrong with it."

Zhao Gou didn't speak, and he weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Whoever pays the salary is not a question of who pays the money, but a big problem for the officials to be loyal to. Zhao Gou's court's income was quite limited, and many officials could not pay the salary. However, if he could not pay the salary, he could also pay the money. With the real goods, there was always a way to get it over. When he arrived in Xiangyang and Luoyang, he could not get it over, and his salary could only be relied on Wang Xiaoli.

Qin Hui suddenly said: "When Wang Xiaoli was in Xiangyang, he relied on printing the Xiangyang Huizi to accumulate a lot of money. I thought it would be better to take the Xiangyang Huizi to the court and spread the world. In this way, the court can have money and Huizi can be used in the world, not killing two birds with one stone?"

After hearing this, Lu Yihao turned his head to look at Qin Hui, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiaoliu has no shortage of expenses in Xiangyang, and Huizi played a great role. Most court officials know about this. It seems like a good way to take Xiangyang Huizi into the court and print more, so as to spread the world. However, someone sent by Wang Xiaoliu, Huizi in Xiangyang, who used it, and can the court still believe it?

Li Guangdao: "Wang Xiao hunted more than 100,000 troops under his subordinates and used money everywhere. If the Xiangyang Huizi was taken to the court, where would the military expenses be paid?"

Qin Hui said: "I hunted Wang Xiao several million chunks of troops every year. I just printed more, so what's the difficult thing?"

Meng Wei, the deputy governor, said: "Whenever a general goes out, the court also allows Yin Huizi. It can only solve the urgent problem for a while, and there is no one that can pass for several years. It is not difficult for Xiangyang Huizi to be brought back to the court, but if you can handle this matter well, I am afraid that there will be no such talents in the court."

Qin Hui said: "The seal Huizi is nothing more than a well-printed article, which makes it impossible for the people to steal the seal. It is also a method of praise to prevent Huizi from becoming lighter. That's all. What's the difficulty of this? Just send a minister to take the initiative."

Lu Yihao said: "Wang Xiao hunts tens of thousands of troops. After the new victory, the court should not cause unnecessary trouble. As long as he is awarded his official position and gives him some money, so that he will not feel embarrassed. Your Majesty, I must remind you. Wang Xiao hunts 120,000 to kill tens of thousands of gold troops in one battle. Don't forget this!"

Zhao Gou nodded and said nothing.

As the emperor, Zhao Gou was extremely sensitive to the military power of his subordinate officials. How could he forget it? All the ministers had forgotten it, and Zhao Gou would not forget it. But from Zheng Chen's story, Zhao Gou felt that Wang Xiaoli was not like other rebellious generals, such as Li Cheng, Kong Yanzhou, Fan Qiong and others, and should be a loyal minister. Of course, he would have to suffer some grievances. Otherwise, why would he be a loyal minister?

Qin Hui said to Lu Yihao: "Grandpa Lu thinks, what reward should Wang Xiao hunt?"

Lu Yihao said: "According to Wang Xiaoli, he had occupied Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, Huaizhou, Weizhou, Zezhou and Longde Prefecture on Hedong Road, plus Hezhong Prefecture, Jiezhou, Shanzhou and Guozhou on Yongxing Jun Road, almost all the way. He was appointed as the commander of the southwest, north and south of the Beijing Road, and also the governor of Henan Prefecture. He was granted the title of Duke of Kaiguo, and was the junior guard of the procuratorate, and the town could be replaced with the great vassal. Among the generals of this dynasty, he was second only to Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou looked at everyone, nodded slowly and said, "It's good."

After a while, Zhao Gou said again: "Wang Xiaoli ruled the prefectures and counties, and the court should still send officials."

Lu Yihao said: "Wang Xiaohun also lacks people to use, so it is natural to send officials. Just the officials sent should listen to Wang Xiaohun and not cause unnecessary trouble. Wang Xiaohun's army is under tens of thousands of troops, so the court must not forget this."

Lu Yihao repeatedly emphasized that Wang Xiaohun's army was hunted by more than 100,000, and the ministers knew what it meant. Now the most soldiers in the court were Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, each with 30,000 to 40,000. The three of them combined were not as many soldiers as Wang Xiaohun's army.

If it were in the past, it would have been thought that Wang Xiaoli was similar to other thieves, and the army of more than 100,000 was just a number, which was just a laughing matter. At the same time as the victory in Shanzhou, Wang Xiaoli won at Zhongmu and Hucheng at the same time, telling the world the combat effectiveness of these more than 100,000 troops. Which minister dares to doubt that Wang Xiaoli's army cannot fight?

The court must deal with more than 100,000 soldiers who can fight with this alone.

What Qin Hui and others mentioned before were all unfair to Xiangyang Huizi. Lu Yihao understood that he was unhappy with Wang Xiaohun and the imperial edict was torn down. What could the court do to him? At that time, officials would still be sent to comfort him.
