What he wants is for Dali to truly become the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

And who to send to Dali to open up the situation, Zhao Dongting has naturally thought about this matter for a long time.

In terms of rank, the position of the governor of Dali is the same as that of the secretary in the imperial court. If he wants to send someone to Dali as a deputy envoy, he can only choose from the waiters or directors of various ministries.

The squire is considered a flat tone, and the chief is promoted.

In fact, Xiao Xianzhong, a former squire of the Ministry of Social Security, was a good choice, he has served as an official of the Ministry of Social Security, and has rich experience in how to pacify domestic forces.

It's a pity that Gao Manshan collaborated with the enemy and was beheaded, and Xiao Xianzhong needed to take over the power of the Ministry of Social Security. Go to Dali, it will be impossible.

And another squire of the Ministry of Social Security is close to retirement age.

Zhao Dongting could only be selected from among the officials below.

There are a total of nine divisions under the Ministry of Social Security, plus officials in the yamen of the Ministry of Social Security and the same level as the director, so there are many choices.

After pondering for a long time, Zhao Dongting finally made up his mind, and shouted outside: "Go to Yu Feihang, director of the Public Security Department of the Ministry of Propaganda and Security, to see me." ”

The answering voice of the eunuch sounded outside.

Yu Feihang was the courtier who originally followed the imperial court to Jinzhou. It's just that the official rank was not high at that time, but Lang Zhong, who was the head of the criminal department, was promoted later.

Zhao Dongting implemented a new policy, and Lang Zhong was renamed the director.

Speaking of which, compared to Xiao Xianzhong, Yu Feihang is naturally not the best choice. But now Zhao Dongting has no choice.

Although he has been implementing the new policy for more than two years, it is inconvenient to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, and the officials in the Song Dynasty still have the hidden danger of being out of touch. To put it more bluntly, there are not many people with qualifications and abilities.

Only Yu Feihang is in charge of the Public Security Division, and compared with the directors of the other departments, he is always better at how to suppress the riots and so on.

What Zhao Dongting thought was that when the Great Song Dynasty took Dali, the first thing he wanted to do was to suppress the rebellion in Dali.

He knows that no matter how good his reputation is. The territory of Dali could not be completely subjugated to the Great Song Dynasty.

Just like when the Yuan Dynasty forced the small court to Jinzhou Island, didn't the Great Song Dynasty have rebels emerge one after another?

Zhao Dongting didn't think that if he didn't hurt the people of Dali, he would be able to make Dali calm. The Duan family has been in charge of Dali for so many years, and there are still many diehards.

Soon, Duan Shi was taken to the imperial study.

He knelt down in front of Zhao Dongting, kowtowed, and said: "Duan Shi knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

Naturally, he was completely submissive, and he regarded himself as a Song minister.

"Let's get flat!"

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly and said, "How are you living in the palace during this time?" ”

Duan Shi said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, everything is fine with Duan Shi." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded imperceptibly.

He was still satisfied with Duan Shi's attitude.

He just knew that Duan Shi had no ambitions, and if he didn't say it well, he was a little servile. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Duan Shi until now.

He needs an echo worm like Duan Shi to appease those stubborn forces in Dali.

After groaning slightly, Zhao Dongting suddenly said again: "Our army has already taken Shicheng County, and the defenders in Shicheng County have not resisted much. ”

What he said was really abrupt. When he spoke, his eyes were only staring at Duan Shi.

This is undoubtedly a temptation.

If Duan Shi reacted too much, it could only mean that Duan Shi was still very concerned about Dali in his heart. In this case, Zhao Dongting will have to consider whether he wants to fulfill his original words.

Fortunately, although Duan Shi was surprised, it did not reach the point of changing color.

He was slightly stunned, and then he arched his hand to Zhao Dongting and said: "Duan Shi is here to congratulate the emperor, I just hope that the emperor can let go of those people in Dali." ”

"Hmmm......"

Zhao Dongting groaned and laughed: "You don't need to worry about this, I have never been the kind of person who poisons the people. ”

As he spoke, he stood up, walked in front of Duan Shi, and said, "I said at the beginning that if you are sincere, I can let you serve as the head of Dali. ”

Duan Shi was slightly moved.

Zhao Dongting said to himself, "It's impossible to be in charge of Dali alone, I plan to make Dali truly the territory of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

When he said this, he was still looking at Duan Shi's expression.

Duan Shi just hung his head slightly, and there was a slight darkness on his face.

He probably only has helplessness in his heart now.

Dali lost too badly this time, and it was impossible for their Duan clan to continue to be Dali's earth overlord. He Duan Shi didn't have the courage to fight with Zhao Dongting.

He was distracted, but he didn't think about his appearance, but it was exactly what Zhao Dongting wanted to see.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Dongting's mouth, and then he said: "I will set up the Dali Road and let you go to serve as the envoy of the festival." ”

Duan Shi raised his head, "Duan Shi thanks the emperor." ”

There was a little joy in his eyes.

Although I can't be the soil emperor of Dali, it is also very good to be the envoy of Dali Road. At least nominally, it is still the head of Dali.

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Xie Zhen first." In the past, when your brother and your nephew were the kings of Dali, you did not hold any real power in Dali, and although I appointed you as the envoy of the Dali Road, it was impossible for me to leave all the affairs in Dali Road to you to decide. I will also send Neng Chen to Dali with you and serve as the deputy envoy of Dali Road. I want you to listen to him, you ...... Do you understand what I mean? ”

Duan Shi's face couldn't help but change slightly again.

Follow......

Of course, he could hear what Zhao Dongting meant. Zhao Dongting: This is to let him put himself in the right position.

He, the envoy of Dali Road, is a false position nine times out of ten, and I am afraid that he will not have much real power.

But after thinking about it, Duan Shi only had a deep helplessness in his heart.

He is now in the Song Palace, what other luxury can he have?

Being able to stay alive and go to Dali as an envoy is already a good result.

After coming back to his senses, Duan Shi arched his hand and said, "Duan Shi understands." ”

Zhao Dongting nodded, "After you open up the situation in Dali, I will send officials to Dali one after another, and implement many of the new policies of my Great Song Dynasty in Dali." At this age, it is impossible for you to serve for a long time, but I can tell you frankly here that as long as you have the ability to excel among the descendants of Duan Shi, I will still be willing to give them the title of official and knight, and I will never treat them differently. In the future, it depends on yourself whether your family can continue to prosper. ”

Duan Shi nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

He could fully understand the meaning of Zhao Dongting's words. There are mallets and dates.

The mallet is to let him be honest and honest, don't think about monopolizing power. When it's time to step down, leave office honestly.

Jujube is Zhao Dongting's background in his lineage, as long as he has the ability, he Duan Shi will still have talents to continue to be officials in the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

didn't block all of his Duan Shi's back roads, which is really quite good.

Duan Shi didn't have much to resist.

As he was talking, Yu Feihang, director of the Department of Public Security, was also brought into the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Duan Shi looked back at him, and Yu Feihang's eyes also fell on Duan Shi's body.

Zhao Dongting said directly: "Director Yu, I intend to let you enter Dali as a deputy envoy to open up the situation in Dali for me, are you willing?" ”

"Wechen knocks on the emperor!"

Yu Feihang first knelt on the ground, and then said: "Weichen is willing to go!" ”

In this era, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Although he is going to Dali, he is promoted, and of course Yu Feihang will not refuse.

There was just some surprise in his eyes.

Because Zhao Dongting hadn't told him about this before, this upward movement was really abrupt.

Zhao Dongting nodded, "This is the former Dali Duan Clan's Duan Shi Duan Prince." I have named him the envoy of the Dali Road Festival, and after a while, you will go to Dali with him! ”

Yu Feihang was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, will Duan Jiedu and I make the two of you go?" ”

Zhao Dongting chuckled, "I will send another capable official to help you open up the situation, you can rest assured of this." ”

To open up the situation in Dali, of course, he couldn't just send Yu Feihang to go. Otherwise, Yu Feihang is afraid that he will die in Dali in a short time.

Even if he didn't die, it would be impossible to make those tribal leaders and Duan clan ministers in Dali truly obey his orders.

Not to mention anything else, the officials in charge of Dali's social security, finance, supervision, criminal punishment, civil affairs, water conservancy, etc., always have to let Yu Feihang bring them over.
