Chapter 21 The Son of Heaven and the Scholars Share the World
In these years, people with the fame of Jinshi seem to be blessed with countless halos, too many privileges and too many advantages.
Needless to say, in terms of promotion and career, Jinshi is always the first choice, and even some important positions must be Jinshi, no matter how great the merit is.
In the Song Dynasty, the so-called 'punishment is not a doctor' and 'the Son of Heaven and the scholar doctor share the world', and the basic standard of the doctor mentioned here is actually Jinshi.
There are other privileges that are even more, such as as being born as a Jinshi, whether it is facing the prime minister or the emperor, as long as you want, you don't need to kneel. As for the Jinshi's salary and the treatment of money and food, not to mention.
Even the title of 'good boy', which originally belonged to the meritorious soldiers, was inexplicably one of the many halos of Jinshi because of Han Qi's sentence 'The roll call outside the Donghua Gate is a good man'.
Zhang Bin's contribution this time is already a great achievement for Da Song, who has always lost more and won less in front of the Western thieves.
The first major achievement, the practice of the class is super old, blocking the possibility of the Heiluo Department borrowing the meridian road from the western thief.
The second major achievement is the deputy privy envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom does not hide the head of the second person in the family, which is worth a thousand ordinary Western thieves.
The third great merit, and the greatest merit, brought back 3,000 Black Luo cavalry, joined Liu Changzuo's 3,000 Song soldiers, and relieved the danger of the siege of Dashun City, not to mention, but also played a great victory, beheading more than 10,000 Western thieves.
As for the victory of the anti-ambush with Wang Sunchen on the way to Heiluobu, the fifty heads of the Western Thieves assigned to him are no longer worth mentioning
Moreover, Zhang Bin is not an ordinary person, he is the only son of Guan Xue Zhang Zai, even if he is a kind of man, he can only share his credit by coercing each other and trading hints.
Although Wu Pei is a prisoner, if he does not have a reason and evidence, he will not dare to clean up Zhang Bin.
The only fly in the ointment is that Zhang Bin is not from a Jinshi background, so his contribution to the sky has exceeded the limit of what he can bear.
That is to say, any of the three great merits that made him promoted to an official and the official who was promoted by the accumulation of the three great merits are almost the same, because there are great restrictions on civil officials for people who are not from Jinshi, which is also one of the reasons why Zhang Bin is willing to trade with the cultivator without hesitation.
And Zhang Bin also knows this, so he has expressed his position to Wang Sunchen and Liu Changzuo many times in the past two days, and he will definitely share his credit with the two of them as much as possible when he meets Han Xianggong.
……
……
As Han Jiang, he went to the frontline border city in person, and after the war, he naturally had a reason or a name, and inspecting the city defense and condolences to the meritorious soldiers was the best name.
Therefore, before Zhang Bin arrived at Chongge's mansion, he met a soldier who ordered him to go to the military camp to meet Han Xianggong.
When Zhang Bin rushed over, Han Jiang had already finished inspecting the barracks and was leaving the barracks.
Obviously, what Han Jiang saw in the barracks was what he liked to see, so when Zhang Bin saluted Han Jiang, the latter smiled, seemed to be in a good mood, nodded his head, and affectionately called Zhang Bin's cousin, not to mention, but also to tell an old thing with Zhang Zai, which seemed very interested.
Chong Ge and Wu Pei accompanied Han Jiang, after Zhang Bin saw him, he wanted to retreat to the back immediately, but Han Jiang suddenly said: "Ziyu, come to Benxiang's side, there are some things Benxiang wants to ask you." ”
"Obedience." Zhang Bin walked beside Han Jiang without humility or arrogance in the eyes of suspicion and Wu Pei's jealousy, standing half a step behind, the whole process was calm and steady, and he was not flattered because he was valued by the prime minister, this self-confidence and bearing suddenly made Han Jiang's eyes light up.
Zhang Bin followed Han Jiang up the city wall, and while strolling, according to Han Jiang's question, according to what he had agreed with Chong Ge before, he told the three great achievements he had made in detail, which highlighted the merits of Chong Ge, Wang Sunchen and Liu Changzuo.
Of course, Zhang Bin received a lot of strong praise from Han Jiang, but the latter did not mention the reward for the time being.
Just like the later generations of great leaders inspecting places, after taking a turn to look around, it is naturally time to enter the conference room to listen to reports and make requests.
A group of people entered the White Tiger Festival Hall, Han Jiang sat on the position of the coach first, and after asking Han Jiang for advice, he immediately ordered someone to beat the drum of the gathering general.
This kind of drum sound is quite special, the whole Dashun city can be heard clearly, and soon together with 40,000 reinforcements, the battalion commander made the above generals rush to the fastest speed.
After the generals came in turn, they saluted respectfully, and then they each went to their own positions, but unlike in the past, everyone was sitting, and today except for Chong Ge and Wu Pei, as well as the main generals of the two reinforcements, everyone else did not dare to sit down, but bowed slightly and stood in their positions.
Zhang Bin saw this scene and thought to himself that this was the power of the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty!
"This is still the deputy prime minister, and he is at a disadvantage in the battle between the DPRK and China, and he has rushed from the center of the court to the local vice minister!" Zhang Bin secretly slandered himself, thinking that one day, he would reach or even surpass this step, and he would have power to tilt towards the government and the opposition.
Because only in this way can he have the opportunity or qualification to make the weak Song become a strong Song Dynasty, and can he realize his dream of strengthening the country and the army, and even greater.
In fact, even if he becomes the prime minister of the government and the opposition, some things may not be able to be promoted, which can be seen from the ending of Fan Zhongyan, who is bent on change, and Wang Anshi, who desperately wants to change the law.
After the officials in Dashun City who were qualified to come here arrived, Wu Pei, the overseer, said to everyone first: "Xianggong came to Dashun City in person today, you should be on guard, don't let the western thieves disturb Xianggong!" ”
"Wu Jianjun said the opposite! The prime minister is now looking forward to the western thief coming to attack Dashun City, who is afraid that the western thief will disturb the original appearance? Han Jiang said a little inexplicably.
He actually told the truth, because now there are 60,000 troops in Dashun City, and even if the western thieves exhaust the strength of the whole country, it will be difficult to capture it, and he is in Dashun City, even if he does nothing, all the beheadings and military exploits will be taken by him.
Zhang Bin saw that Wu Pei didn't get the idea, his embarrassed face turned red, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, Wu Pei didn't even understand Han Jiang's thoughts when he went to Dashun City, no wonder the dignified imperial history was sent to the bitter cold place like the northwest border city as a prison army.
After Han Jiang finished saying a seemingly casual sentence, his eyes swept over the audience, and he said: "This prime minister has already inspected the camp, the battle equipment is ready, and the military heart is available!" ”
When Zhang Bin heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he thought that everyone was eager for military exploits, even Han Jiang, who was an extremely popular minister.
In the past few days, he has felt the envious and jealous eyes of too many people when they look at him, so in order not to attract jealousy, he has been very low-key these days.
