After the end of Zhe Yunwu's marriage, this grand ceremony came to an end, and Zonan Zap was about to return to the north, and Zhi Yanchong convened the minister's office, the privy ministers, and the secretary of the speaker of the National Assembly, who had not yet discussed the important matters, and said: "There are two main things to announce the arrival of everyone this time. First, I think I'm going to send an important minister to send Zonan Zap back to Longcheng instead of me, and to inspect the Mobei tribes by the way, and see what changes have happened in Mobei after my return. On the one hand, it is to establish a buffer between Mobei and Han, and on the other hand, to maintain the commercial and military routes from Handi to Mobei, so as to ensure that Mobei can develop without falling into hunger, poverty, chaos and turmoil. These two major events need two competent people to go, and everyone will discuss who should be appointed. ”

The Han civil ministers could sit and discuss the matter, and the military generals needed to stand up and make a statement - this difference was not to suppress the martial arts, but only to reflect the difference between elegance and martial arts in etiquette.

Yang Yingqi, Yang Kaiyuan, Ouyang Shixiao, Tienu, Aru and didn't speak, several deputy prime ministers inquired with each other's eyes, and Chen Xian, the vice prime minister in charge of the ministry, spoke first, turned around and said to Zhi Yan: "The matter mentioned by Your Majesty has also been discussed by the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this is a good opportunity to act. The old minister thought that the candidate for the governor of Mobei needed to be noble, martial, and civil. The noble, the status of Zonan Zap, the lord of the princes of Zhuhu, is particularly different from the heads of the various administrative departments, and it is necessary to have a very close and noble person to make Zonan Zap and the princes of Mobei obey, and the prime minister's office from the deputy prime minister and below, and the army from the general below are not worthy of this post, and the only people who are worthy of this post are His Majesty's Kunzhong and the crown prince; If a scholar is sent to the governor, I am afraid that not only will it not convince the Hu, but it will arouse their contempt and covetousness, so the old minister thinks that the governor must also have the talent of a military commander; Writer, Mobei has now been attached, all affairs should be based on pacification and mediation, and can not be fought and suppressed, His Majesty returned from Mobei to the south in addition to bringing a large number of Hu pawns to the south, but also left many Han soldiers in Mobei, now the Han people in Mobei has accounted for one-tenth of its population, Zhenzhou and the Han people have settled in farming, coupled with the influence of business and travel, has made today's Mobei gradually become stable and quiet, so the old minister thought that the people who went this time must have to understand government affairs, know how to appease Hu Han, know how to appease Hu Han, Xiao Nong and business, and can not blindly be tough and brave. The three things of noble, martial arts, and literature are indispensable. ”

The generals and generals in the house all nodded when they heard this, and Zhi Yanchong asked Chen Xian to recommend him personally, and Chen Xian said: "The old minister recommends Yang Kaiyuan, the marshal of the Han Dynasty, the privy envoy, and the third general." Among Zhi Yanchong's six younger brothers, Yang Kaiyuan has the most balanced abilities in all aspects, so Chen Xian took it for granted that everyone would come here.

Zhi Yanchong asked Yang Yingqi, Yang Yingqi pondered for a moment and said: "The three things that Chen Lao said about noble, martial arts, and literature are summarized more incisively than I thought. I originally wanted to recommend the sixth brother to go, because he is the most familiar with Mobei and has the most prestige in Mobei. However, after listening to Chen Lao's words, he felt that although the third brother was not as familiar with Mobei as the sixth brother, he was also a famous general of the mighty Hu Han, and it was more than enough to subdue Zhu Hu. In addition, although the sixth brother is well versed in nonsense, he is not good at government affairs, and he is strong in martial arts and slightly more talented in literature. In fact, he didn't say another reason, that is, Xiao Tienu Hu has a very heavy temperament, if he goes to Mobei, it is easy to form a separatist force when the upper and lower influences each other, Yang Kaiyuan Han people have a strong atmosphere, and he goes to Mobei, if it is handled properly, it is conducive to enhancing the centripetal force of Mobei to the center.

Zhi Yanchong asked the meaning of the military again, originally the representative of the military was Yang Kaiyuan, but because it was Yang Kaiyuan himself who was discussing, he first skipped him and asked Xiao Tienu, Aluman and Liu Qi, Xiao Tienu said: "The third child can do anything, if you are afraid that he is not vulgar, I will send someone who is familiar with him when the time comes." Aru Man also said: "I also think the third brother is very suitable, in fact, he dealt with a lot of Hu and Han issues when he was in Liaokou, and he may not be unpopular." Liu Qi said: "The ministers of Mobei don't understand, please make a decision between Your Majesty and the marshals." ”

Only then did Zhi Yanchong ask Yang Kaiyuan: "Third brother, are you willing to work hard?" ”

Yang Kaiyuan groaned: "If you go to Mobei here, if you are too busy to do practical things, if you are pragmatic, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back in two or three years." It is my duty to send me if my eldest brother wishes to send me, but then I will have to find another person to fill the post of privy councillor. ”

Zhi Yanchong asked Ouyang Shi, and Ouyang Shi said: "Although the privy envoy is also an important task, but now there is a big brother in Beijing to control the overall situation, the ministers are complementary, and the military generals are Zuo Bi, as far as the current situation is concerned, the candidates for the privy envoys are easier to find than the candidates for the governor of Mobei, so priority should be given to the candidates for the governor of Mobei." ”

Zhi Yan nodded his head and said: "What the fourth said is reasonable! Okay, then it's decided, and the third brother will go to Mobei. He said to Yang Kaiyuan: "I will give you the right to take care of the aspect, not only to take care of the 'matter', but also to take care of the 'system' - see what needs to be improved in the establishment of Mobei, and if you are anxious, you will change it on the spot and report it again, if it can be slowed down, bring it back to the capital to discuss." ”

Such an appointment, it is equivalent to letting Yang Kaiyuan be his doppelganger, and the trust between the monarchs and ministers is so heavy, even Han Fang, Chen Zhenghui and the others also sighed, Yang Kaiyuan did not shirk, and received the order on the spot. Zhi Yanchong asked everyone to discuss the matter of Mo Nan again.

Guo Hao, deputy envoy of the Privy Council and secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "Mo Nan is different from Mo Bei, the government of Mo North is still the autonomy of the border people, and I am only supervised by the Han Dynasty. And Mo Nan is the junction of Hu and Han, since ancient times, Hu and Han have advanced and retreated, all tied here. If the wind in the south of the desert is too heavy, it is easy to become a thief, and the north of the desert is a big disaster for the Han land; If the literary style of Monan is too strong, it is easy to accumulate weakness, and it is difficult to suppress the horse thief, Gong Weiyan, Yun, Liao, and Shaanxi. Since Liao, Jin Xiang cannibalism, the population of Monan has lost a lot, fortunately our Han Dynasty carried out armed immigration, from Liaonan, Gyeonggi, Lianghe migrated to Dingkou to be real, and now the complexity of the people of Monan can be compared to the time when the Liao State was not broken. However, immigrants are taking root day by day, so at present, we are implementing the martial arts training education of Hufu riding and archery among the Han people in Monan, and gradually increase the literary style when these Han people take root. At present, the middle and lower classes of Mo Nan are promoting Hu customs, and the chief generals should use Han nationality, otherwise they will be Hu from top to bottom, which may damage the established national policy of Hu and Han Yongheng and civil and military relaxation. ”

Zhi Yan said: "That's right, you are the secretary of the military department, and you know the temperament and ability of the generals, who do you think is more appropriate?" ”

Guo Hao said: "The minister thinks that Wang Xuan can be respected." ”

When Zhe Yanchong personally conquered Mobei, the rear army led by Wang Xuan was responsible for logistics, mainly staying in Monan, and Ren Dejing was one of the few Han generals who defeated Hu Bu and raised his power in Mobei, so Guo Hao pushed these two people out and the ministers and generals all felt appropriate. Zhi Yanchong thought for a while and said, "Ren Dejing is not a general yet, so let Wang Xuan go." Because he asked Yang Kaiyuan and Xiao Tienu: "What do you think?" ”

Yang Kaiyuan said: "Wang Xuancai is up to the task. Xiao Tienu also said: "I have no opinion. ”

Zhi Yan clapped the board and said: "Since this is the case, then these two major events are so decided." The third brother took charge of Mobei on my behalf, transferred Wang Xuan to station in Monan, and the privy council and the prime minister's office went back to discuss the specific matters to see how to transfer troops and distribute food to cooperate with the military and political affairs of the two of them in Monan and Mobei. ”

The ministers got up together to receive the order, and Yang Yingqi said: "Big brother, the candidate for the privy envoy has not yet been discussed." ”

The privy envoy and the prime minister stand side by side, in charge of martial arts, the privy envoy is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and the military logistics also rely on the prime minister's allocation, but the prime minister is able to intervene in some military affairs, and the prime minister has the right to hear about military affairs. ”

Liu Qi took the lead and said: "The privy envoy is the head of the military ministers, the minister is the rank of general, and there are several marshals above the ministers. ”

"Not really." Yang Yingqi said: "The country has long been customized, and once he is a privy envoy, he will increase the rank of marshal when he is in office, and what you said does not need to be taken into account." ”

Lu Yanlun, a member of the Privy Council who signed the same letter, said: "What the prime minister said is very true. In terms of ability, all three of them can be, but in terms of merit, Xiao Shuai is the first to be recommended. ”

Chen Zhenghui and Han Fang couldn't help but sigh, the two of them said that the sound was extremely low, but only they knew whether the meaning was the same.

Yang Yingqi lowered his eyes, and said after a while: "The sixth brother, the fifth brother and Liu Qi are indeed suitable, but the northwest has not long returned, and it seems that it will be more appropriate if the sixth brother goes to the town guard." ”

Zhi Yanchong shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the northwest is now implementing the civil advance and military retreat, and the authority of the border generals should not be too heavy, otherwise it will be difficult for the Wenchen to act - I also have this consideration in transferring the sixth brother to Beijing this time." At present, it is enough for the big species to guard Ganlong and the small species to guard Shaanxi, in case there is a great change that the two of them can't cope with, it is not too late to transfer the sixth brother to go. Besides, the northwest is quite quiet now, and I don't think anything will happen. ”

Yang Yingqi had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then please ask the eldest brother to decide." ”

This important meeting that took place on the second day after Zhi Yunwu's wedding ended, Xiao Tienu smoothly became the privy envoy, Guo Hao was still the privy deputy envoy, Lu Yanlun was still the same signing of the privy council, and the military two of the central were all familiar with each other, so Yang Kaiyuan and Xiao Tienu only handed over the tiger talisman, seal, and handsome flag, and did not use it too much.

Five days later, Zonan Zapu set off, Yang Kaiyuan also got up, the monarch and the brothers all came to send each other, everyone sent ten miles, Yang Yingqi sent ten more miles, and after the two mounts and entourage gradually opened up a distance, Yang Kaiyuan said: "We can't find anything wrong with the arrangement of the eldest brother this time." However, if there is another important military situation after I go north, you had better follow him, so as not to lose peace with each other. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "The third brother is worried that something will happen in the south? ”

"Yes." Yang Kaiyuan said: "You and I both advocate taking our time, but the eldest brother and the sixth brother don't think so, now that the privy council is in charge of the sixth child, the south will be troubled sooner or later." Anyway, there is no conflict between our brothers on the issue of unifying the north and the south, and they are only in the urgency. In case the eldest brother has made up his mind, and the south does have an opportunity to take advantage of, you should not raise the bar with him. ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said: "I'm not a hairy young man, where can I raise the bar for the sake of raising the bar?" But what should be fought for is still to be fought for. Now we are better than the Great Song Dynasty in terms of economy, politics, and military, and the Ryukyus, Qiongzhou, and Mayi are in our hands, and on the whole, our national strength is much stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty, and the situation is much more favorable. However, even so, in the near future, the Great Song Dynasty will still be able to protect itself, so I hope to wait a little longer, in another five or ten years, when the economy of Jiangnan is fully developed, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty may be able to catch up with or even slightly surpass us, but it will definitely be left behind by us in terms of politics and military. So we really don't need to rush about unification. ”

Yang Kaiyuan had a sentence to say, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and so on, and finally said: "The truth is so, but if you unify Jiangnan with political strategy, the great merit will be with you, and if the Southern Song Dynasty uses martial arts, the merit will be with the eldest brother." I'm worried that this will interfere with you and your eldest brother's judgment of things. ”

Yang Yingqi didn't answer for a while, the two rode out of the distance, seeing that it was not early, Yang Yingqi pointed at the north with a whip and said: "Send you a thousand miles, you need to say goodbye in the end, third brother, you can rest assured that you will go north, as long as the eldest brother still acts according to the rules, then even if he stops me, it will not damage the foundation of the country." The advance and retreat of my own person will only affect the events of decades at most, but the big thing you want to do in Mobei this time is related to the well-being of my Chinese millennium, so please also ask the third brother to focus on Mobei, and you don't have to care about the affairs of the capital. "With that, he turned his horse's head, flicked his whip, and returned with dust.

The next day, Xiao Tienu and Aruban escorted Liu's mother and son back to Zhending, and by the way, they went to Cao Guangbi's grave to pay respects, and peace was restored inside and outside the Jingshi. Xiao Tienu and Zhe Yanchong Yang Yingqi made an appointment to return in Lingshou for seven days, but half a month later, Aru Man had already returned to Beijing and was ready to return to the Northeast before seeing Xiao Tienu's shadow, so Yang Yingqi asked Guo Hao to move the text to ask, the letter had not yet been sent and received the official letter from Xiao Tienu, to the effect that something had happened in the south, so he was ready to go to the Daimyo's Mansion to deal with it nearby, but he didn't say anything happened. Yang Yingqi said: "He is a privy envoy, how can he run around without the king's order!" ”

Chen Zhenghui said: "Do you want to inform Yushi of this matter and let Yushi impeach?" ”

Han Fang hurriedly said: "No! Maybe it is not known that there is a major military situation involved, and if Xiao Shuai did not ask His Majesty for orders before going south, it would be a violation, and it would not be too late to inform the imperial history at that time that they would impeach. ”

Yang Yingqi came to see Zhe Yanchong, but after hearing this, Zhe Yanchong said: "The sixth child told me about this, and I got it." ”

Yang Yingqi asked what happened in the south again, and Zhi Yan said: "This matter has not yet been determined, so it is only an internal act of the privy council, and the prime minister's office has not yet been notified." Yang Yingqi asked again, and Zhi Yan Chongcai said: "Wang Yan, the training envoy of the Bozhou regiment of the Southern Dynasty (note: this Wang Yan is not the general of the Han Dynasty, Wang Yan) sent a secret letter requesting that it be attached, so I asked the sixth child to observe and deal with it nearby. ”

Yang Yingqi was shocked when he heard this: "Bozhou is owned by the Song Dynasty, once there is a change, the two countries will raise swords!" How can this matter be notified? ”

Zhi Yan said: "I'm not ready to surrender, I just let the sixth man go south to appease, and let that Wang Yan not move." Whether the matter is true or not, it is still under the control of the privy council for the time being, and you don't need to make too much of a fuss. If I really want to accept Bozhou, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss. ”
