In June of the second year of Chongning, Ah Lingjie, who was called "the true god of Hehuang" by the Qiang people, was beheaded by Wu Zhi, the noble king of the Great Song Dynasty, under the city of Bajin, and the rebellious tribes fell into chaos.

On the same day, the Song army stormed Bajin City, the noble king Wuzhi personally beat the drum and charged, the armies fought on all sides, the prince's personal guard Luda killed the battle and ordered the battle in the battle, Amon was shot by the arrow, and fled. At noon, the Great Qiang people, Suikeba Golden City, tribes near and far vied with each other to show their surrender. Wang Houxu led hundreds of strong leaders and entered Bajin City. A few days later, the army marched into Huangzhou.

The great leader of Huangzhou, Tanbo, ordered the city to be blocked. The leader Sunan Mo Lingqi secretly sent someone to send a heavy gift to the Song army, please respond internally, and Wang Hou allowed it. That night, Wang Heng entered the water gate and shouted with his subordinates Dengxi City: "Huangzhou!" "The armies marched in with a clamour. Tamba bald ordered dozens of horses to flee from the West Gate. At dawn, the army entered Huangzhou. Wang Hou appointed Gao Yongnian as the temporary governor of the state and improved the city wall. Before and after, 750 leaders of Qi Ling and other clans in Huangzhou were recruited, and 100,000 households were managed. Wang Hougujie reported to Huizong.

In August of the second year of Chongning, Wang Houwuzhi led his troops to capture Lin Jincheng and Kuozhou in succession, and Doroba and his son led hundreds of remnants to flee into the territory of Western Xia, and Qingtang was immediately pacified. Chi Biao congratulated Huizong. The army was stationed in the west of the city, and the tribes south of the Yellow River came to submit every day. Huizong issued an edict: "Wang Hou and Wu Zhi raised troops out of the fortress, and in less than a few months, the Qingtang Dynasty was a country, and the territory was restored." After he stayed for the Wusheng army, Xihe Lan would pacify the envoy slightly, and know Xizhou, Wu Zhi took the body of the prince to kill the first evil of the Qiang people, highlighting the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, the right of two Zhejiang, Jiangnan East Road two road observation envoys, plus food and sealing 500 households. "Wang Hou crossed Huangzhou, along the Lanzhou River and the southeast border of the Xixia Kingdom, Yaobing patrolled the border and returned to Xizhou.

Wu Zhi heard that he had made a false name of the observer, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Song Dynasty was a festival envoy, and the observation envoy existed in name only, not to mention the two-way observation envoy, that is, the ten-way observer envoy was not a false one? Wang Hou was also indignant when he saw the edict, and said three times that this time in Pingxi, the merit of the king was the head, the rewards and punishments of the court were unclear, and the words were very intense, and finally he was scolded by a disgraced face, so he stopped the table depressedly.

Wang Hou is depressed, why is Zhao Ji not depressed? This victory was extremely important for the Great Song Empire. The Great Song Dynasty has not had military glory and glory for a long time, you must know that since the "Lanyuan Alliance", the Song State and the Liao State formed a "brotherly state" that constantly intrigues, the overall situation in the northeast and northern regions has calmed down, and the northwest military has become a long-term pain in the heart of the empire. Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of a very famous generation in Chinese history, once fell into the sand here, making him very disgraced. Therefore, when the news that Wu Zhi had killed the most prestigious tiger in the northwest, Alingjie, was transmitted back to the capital, the government and the opposition were shaken. And Wang Hou and Wu Zhi led the army to pacify the northwest within three months, which brought great glory and satisfaction to the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wu Zhi became a dazzling star rising in the Great Song Empire, and the folk teahouse and wine shops were talking about this prince who was said to have "the courage of ten thousand people", and Liu Dagu, the most famous artist in the Beijing tile, began to sing "Guiwang Pingxi", and then said that the commentators and those who sang songs followed suit, and Wu Zhi was in the limelight in the capital for a while.

Zhao Ji happily visited Wang Guifei three times on the night he got the news of the pacification of the northwest, and almost fainted Wang Guifei, never dreaming that he would be so favored and able to make the saint so affectionate.

The next day, Zhao Ji happily convened the auxiliary ministers to discuss how to reward Wu Zhi and Wang Hou, Zhao Ji can really be said to be high-spirited, and he swore to his brother too much to give himself a long face, what else can he say about those old antiques in the court? Look at those who talk about their sworn worship behind their backs, how do they chew the root of their tongues?

Cai Jing, An Gongtao, Xu Jiang, Xu Yi, Zhao Tingzhi, Zhang Shangying's six auxiliary ministers and more than a dozen important ministers gathered in Zichen Palace, Wang Hou was the Xihe Lan Hui Jing slightly pacified the envoy, and knew that Xizhou was naturally passed without objection, when he heard that Zhao Ji intended to let Wu Zhi enter the Privy Council and serve as the deputy privy envoy, the privy envoy An Gongtao immediately raised an objection, saying that the king was a prince with a different surname, his identity was different, and it was not appropriate to enter the Privy Council. Cai Jing was secretly surprised, after Xu Jiang spoke to Wu Zhi last time, Cai Jing was shocked into a cold sweat, thinking that Wu Zhi intended to form a party in the DPRK, Xu was drawn by him, and after careful investigation after going back, he learned that Wu Zhi did not have close contact with any official at all, and Xu Jiang had never met in person, Cai Jing breathed a sigh of relief and secretly guessed Xu Jiang's motives, and he never knew the point.

When Xu Jiang and An Gongtao argued, Gao Yu also joined in and supported Wu Zhi, but he inadvertently hooked An Gongtao's anger with a sentence, and the two quarreled fiercely, Gao Yu said loudly that if Wu Zhi couldn't enter the Privy Council, he would resign when he went back! An Gongtao is old and strong, and when his temper comes up, he is about to hit Tingzhu on the spot, but fortunately he was pulled down by everyone.

Zhao Ji was furious, and issued an edict to demote An Gongtao for one year, demote him to three levels, and temporarily stay in the Privy Council to observe the after-effects. However, such a fuss about Wu Zhi's entry into the Privy Council will be in the soup, after all, An Gongtao is a veteran of several dynasties and has a very high reputation, if Wu Zhi is forcibly appointed as the privy deputy envoy, this old pepper can't help but make any drastic moves, and the court will be disgraced.

In the end, Cai Jing proposed to increase the number of nobles and the king to eat the real seal. In the Song Dynasty, the food seal is a reward outside the city, each household is calculated according to 25 Wen per day, the highest is 1,000 households, nearly 10,000 households a year, Wu Zhi is the prince, the original food is already a thousand households, if you add another reward, it can be said to be a great honor. Zhao Ji immediately agreed, and added 500 households of Wuzhi to eat the seal.

The official position of the two-way observer envoy was proposed by Xu Yi, and Zhao Ji was also disinterested in being troubled by An Gongtao, he was too lazy to entangle anymore, and he really didn't have any suitable position to arrange Wu Zhi if he couldn't enter the Privy Council, plus Cai Jing and others seconded it, so he was approved.

Zhao Ji originally thought that the second brother would be famous in the northwest, and it was not a sure thing that he would become the deputy privy envoy? The summoning of the ministers was just to show off, and it would be much more interesting for them to propose than to write the imperial book directly. Wouldn't it be good if I knew that it would be like this, and my next edict would be decided directly, but I was really depressed in my heart.

Of course, Cai Jing is very satisfied with this result, although he doesn't want to be embarrassed by Wu Zhi, and even wants to win over Wu Zhi, but the best result is that Wu Zhi is good friends with him, and he is an idle rich and noble prince, after all, if Wu Zhi is given power, he may not be able to control a powerful prince in the future. And it would be better to send Wu Zhi to Jiangnan, after all, Wu Zhi and the Holy Lord have no blood relationship, and if they don't see each other for a long time, they will inevitably become unfamiliar, even if they come back in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the Holy Favor like the Holy One today. When the time comes, you will naturally take the initiative in your relationship with him.

Gao Yu really resigned on the second day, but of course Zhao Ji was not allowed and rejected it. Please refute it again, and summoned Gao Yu into the palace again, and scolded him, and Gao Yu stopped.

Originally, Zhao Ji was depressed enough, and when he saw Wang Hou's recitals in a row, his heart was even more blocked, and he issued an edict to count Wang Hou down, and he also wondered in his heart that when the second brother returned to Beijing to meet him, he really didn't have the face to meet him.
