There are also chairs on both sides, Wang Kui and Changsun Hong sit in turn according to the rules, there are no others in the hall, there are four people sitting in the empty hall, the windows are closed, and the air is slightly dull.

The first to speak was Fan Zhong, who was sitting on the right side of the building, he was the oldest, and he was also old-fashioned when he spoke.

He first asked Wang Kui about the current situation in Sichuan, to understand the military, government and people's livelihood, Wang Kui was prepared, answered one by one, and did not leak a drop of water, and in his speech, he had mature ideas for Sichuan's future planning and response.

Du Fan and Fan Zhong listened intently, interrupting from time to time, saying some of their own opinions, asking some key details, picking out the critical nodes, and making corresponding instructions.

This process was very lengthy, almost two hours, from morning to noon, but the content was so rich that it involved almost all aspects of a province, during which there were small officials in and out, bringing some urgent documents to ask the two prime ministers, and the two of them only glanced at it hastily, said a few words casually, and then continued to talk with Wang Kui.

Du Fan is the right prime minister and privy envoy, Fan Zhong is the left prime minister, and the two most important and highest-ranking ministers of the Great Song Dynasty personally spent precious time interviewing Wang Kui, and probably only the Sichuan system envoy can enjoy such treatment.

After sitting still for a long time, maintaining a posture, Changsun Hong felt that half of his body was sore, but the two old men above were not tired, and they were still engrossed in talking, and the appearance of the spirit shimmered made Changsun Hong feel ashamed, and he was embarrassed to stand up and move, so he had to continue to stand up.

He peeked at Du Fan and Fan Zhong, and was a little suspicious, whether these two old men were kept by ginseng and bird's nest all day long, how could they sit for so long and say that they didn't feel tired? If you keep working at this intensity every day, you will be tired to death sooner or later.

"Your strategy is very effective, and the implementation is also effective, and the local magistrate of Xichuan 4th Road has also responded very well to us, which shows that these measures are handled properly, and we can rest assured that you are over there." After talking for a long time, Du Fan finally picked up the tea that had been cold, took a sip, and made a summary: "Lord Wang, do a good job, Master Fan and I are old, the location here will be yours sooner or later, and the official family also knows in their hearts, who is powerful and who is available, and the holy will is very clear!" ”

Fan Zhong also touched his beard and smiled with a satisfied expression, Wang Kui quickly got up and arched his hand: "Thank you for the praise of the two adults, Wang Kui can only repay the country's kindness!" ”

Du Fan beckoned, motioned for him to sit down and speak, and said: "You are a scholar, Wenchen was born in a military position, which is also rare, and now you have become a system envoy, you are young and have a bright future in the future, you must work hard, our Privy Council must be helmed by a Wenchen like you, and you must not slack off." ”

Fan Zhong also said: "Now in the court, some people think that the external invasion is fierce, this privy council is in charge of the military, and the martial artist should serve as the privy envoy, and Lord Du and I strongly oppose it, this martial artist is in charge of the military power, so what is it?" Isn't it to repeat the chaotic world of the late Tang Dynasty? You and Jia Nidao, the envoy of the Yanjiang Embassy, are both talents who are difficult to know about military affairs and can fight wars, do a good job, and Master Du and I both recommend you to the officials. ”

This is very critical, will the two prime ministers still lack a future? This is equivalent to putting Wang Kui's name in the list of reserve cadres, and it is a very high position, and it is just around the corner.

Wang Kui was not happy or surprised, calm, and stood up with a great general's demeanor, and thanked him in his mouth, such an attitude of joy and anger added a lot of points in the minds of the two old prime ministers.

After saying this, Du Fan and Fan Zhong's eyes finally drifted to Changsun Hong, who was sitting a little farther away.

Changsun Hong was savoring the last few words that the two had just said, and felt that there seemed to be something else in them. The Great Song Dynasty suppressed the military with literature, and the delicate relationship between the civil ministers and the military generals was difficult to clarify, both sides fought openly and secretly, and the military generals were always inferior, but the court said that they couldn't say it, fought and couldn't win, and they were suppressed, Du Fan and Fan Zhong's remarks, does it mean that the powerful military ministers are going to be unlucky?

Who could that be?

A few names rose in Changsun Hong's heart, and he was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Du Fan calling himself.

"This is the one-word side king of Dali, the eldest grandson Hong, the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson ghost king, right?" With a solemn face, he called out the name of Changsun Hong: "It is rare and precious that you can make a career in the southwest border as a Hanmin-episoter. ”

Eldest Sun Hong's heart skipped a beat, Du Fan was not surprised to know that he was the king of one word by side, but it was a little surprising that he could call out the name of his ghost king.

The ghost king was elected by the thirty-six barbarian tribes, not a Dali court official, and few people outside knew about the existence of the ghost king.

In the past, the Central Plains Dynasty regarded itself as orthodox, and the small countries in the corners of the country never cared much, and they always used the posture of the kingdom to communicate, and only said to the monarch when they spoke, what kind of ghost king and ghost king, don't ask at all.

Dali doesn't seem to be an iron bucket anymore.

How did the Song Dynasty infiltrate?

Why Infiltration?

Changsun Hong's brows furrowed, and he replied respectfully: "My lord praised it falsely, Xia Guan is just the Rongzhou regiment training envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, and Dali's false name is just because he has done some small things that are beneficial to the monarch of Dali before, and it is really not enough to worry about." ”

"No, not an exaggeration at all. What I'm saying is that you can enter the barbarian realm alone, appease the Shimen barbarians in ten years, and then use the strength of a barbarian department to overwhelm the soldiers of Dali and abolish its king to seize its country, this wisdom and courage is really not easy. ”

Du Fan looked at him with a smile on his face, but the words he said were like a knife that cut his face, stripping away the words that Changsun Hong was concealing, as if to say: Boy, don't try to deny it, Lao Tzu knows everything about you.

However, the meaning of the words was all words of praise, and Changsun Hong couldn't figure out an inch for a while, so he just laughed and didn't speak.

"As a Han people, death is also a Han ghost, blood is thicker than water, and relatives are more important than mountains. This is the wisdom of the saints. Du Fan continued, not slow or anxious, and said slowly: "Your matter, Wang Kui also mentioned to us, Meng Hui has also been on the fold for you, Fan Xiang and I, both feel that although you are mixed in the barbarian realm, but you can stand up at a critical moment, help Wang Kui resist the northern captives, contribute to the country, do not forget the bloodline, can be regarded as a reasonable and reasonable person, although he was charged with a crime because of his parents when he was a child, but he had a teacher-student friendship with Wei Liaoweng, he is a scholar, and it is always good to be able to turn back. ”

When he said this, he was not shocked, as if he was telling a very inconspicuous matter, and everywhere revealed the care and help of the superior to a young man who accidentally fell into the quagmire.

The eldest grandson Hong's face was as usual, he sat upright, nodded incessantly, and listened seriously.

You say it in vain, and I listen to it.

Du Fan looked at his expression and was very satisfied, so he touched his long beard and said: "Your subordinates, those ghost pawns, are very combative, for the Great Song Dynasty official army, although it is not as powerful as the forbidden army, but to have such a friendly army to assist, when the war is together, it is a very useful supplement, Fan Xiang and I, this time I summoned you over, and did not avoid you when talking to Lord Wang, you have to understand the meaning." ”

Eldest Sun Hong frowned, and hesitated: "What do the two adults mean...... Xia Guan didn't quite understand. ”

"Huh."

Du Fan and Fan Zhong laughed together and exchanged glances.

A barbarian is a barbarian, even if the Han people have passed, if they have been mixed with the barbarians for a long time, they will be assimilated by the barbarians and become barbarians who only have strength and brains but are not very flexible.

But that's fine.

Fan Zhong said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Du Shumi's meaning is to praise you, Wang Kui is a big official, since you help him, we won't avoid you when we talk, it is to treat you as your own person, so that you can do your best in the future and do your best to serve the Great Song Dynasty." ”

That's the clarity.

Boy, if we treat you as our own, you will give us the strength to die.

In the future, if there is food in the Great Song Dynasty, there will be a bite of yours.

Changsun Hong suddenly made a sudden realization, lifted his buttocks, was so moved that his face turned red, and said loudly: "Thank you two adults for your love, Changsun Hong must obey the orders of the Great Song Dynasty, obey the orders of Lord Wang, and listen to the tune and listen to the announcement in the future, without the slightest hesitation." ”

"Hey, it's not that you just listen to Wang Kui's words, you are a general of the Great Song Dynasty, and you have the seal of the Great Song Dynasty, and you still have to listen to the Privy Council when it comes to war." Du Fan picked up the teacup, took a sip and said: "You and Wang Kui are colleagues, he is the superior, and the specific things are arranged by him, but the transfer of troops to listen to the announcement is respected by the order of the Privy Council." ”

"That's as it should be." Wang Kui hurriedly expressed his position.

Changsun Hong's heart was twisting and turning, but on the surface, he expressed the same meaning to Wang Kui with sincerity.

The conversation with Changsun Hong was much less than the conversation with Wang Kui, and as soon as he finished a few words, Du Fan and Fan Zhong looked tired, after all, they were old men, and they were tired after talking all morning.

"Changsun Hong was in Xichuan before, his military achievements were not small, and he was a little wronged in the last reward, I discussed it with Fan Xiang, and I was ready to mention him as the commander of the capital, and he was crowned as a lieutenant of the cavalry, and he still commanded the original military horses, and he would be on the official house in a few days."

Du Fan drank tea and said casually.

All under control? Captain on horseback?

Wang Kui and Changsun Hong raised their heads at the same time, both surprised.

The capital of the Song Dynasty was under control, which was equal to the commander of one side, and there were generally several armies under the jurisdiction below.

At the beginning of Yue Fei's career, he once served as the commander of the Shenwu Deputy Army, led the forbidden army Shenwu Army, and served as the guard of the capital.

Raising the eldest grandson Hong to the capital means that he has been raised to the same level as Wang Kui, at least in terms of military power.

What does this mean? Do you want to use the eldest grandson Hong to contain Wang Kui? Or do you want to win over the eldest grandson Hong to better serve the Great Song Dynasty?

A promotion in one position can bring a cascade of responses.

Between the eyebrows of Wang Kui and Changsun Hong, a layer of frost was condensed.

Du Fan didn't seem to care about the reaction of the two, or rather, this reaction fell in his eyes, which was expected.

"That's all for today, and you can go back." Du Fan stood up and made a gesture to send off the guests, Wang Kui and Changsun Hong also stood up, noon arrived, and everyone had to eat.

The two of them confessed their crimes, and walked out, and when they were about to step on the threshold, Fan Zhong's voice came from behind them, but it was an admonition.

"You two are here, remember one thing to keep in mind in the future." When the two turned around and looked at Fan Zhong who was standing, Fan Zhong looked at the two of them and said seriously: "Wenchen's governance is the foundation of my dynasty. Wenzun and martial arts are the most reasonable way of heaven, and the two of them must be remembered in their hearts and deeply engraved. ”
