Sun Hui said: "People will help themselves, and God will help them." Sun came to help, it is for the sake of my Song Dynasty thousands of soldiers and civilians who refuse to succumb to the alien captives and rise up, if you want to completely destroy the Jin Yu, I alone have limited strength, and I must have the help of people like Brother Di with superb martial arts and the heart to serve the country, in order to succeed, when the country is employing people, Brother Di must not make such decadent words in the future. ”

Listening to Sun Hui's slightly reproachful words, Di Feng couldn't help but blush for a while.

"I also understand your difficulties, Brother Di, I also admire the great achievements of the ancestors, and I also feel the injustice suffered by the ancestors," Sun Hui understood where his heart knot, "Now that there is an opportunity, why don't we join hands to wipe out all the sour and rotten literati who bullied the ancestors back then, and create a great cause together?" ”

Sun Hui's words were like javelins, piercing Di Feng's heart, and he looked up at Sun Hui, his eyes full of surprise.

Could it be that this "immortal" in front of him knows everything about Ancestor Di Qing?

He didn't know that Sun Hui did know a lot about Di Qing's history, but it was not comprehensive.

The reason for this is, of course, because of the Confucian civil official group that could characterize others as villains at any time in the Song Dynasty, and was so shameless as to tamper with facts as needed, and even personally attacked.

In the history books, Di Qing's rise in the northwest is very vague, and among the people, he is a ghost-faced god of war and invincible. Officially, Ouyang Xiu and others admitted that after five or six years of fighting in the Northwest, the army only got two victorious generals: Di Qing and Chong Shiheng.

But how Di Qing fought the war, but there were only a few vague words - "Twenty-five battles before and after, eight of the middle arrows, breaking Jintangcheng, Luoyouzhou, Tu Suixiang, Maoluo, Shangluo, Qingqi and other clans, accumulated tens of thousands, collected 2,300 accounts, and 5,700 raw mouths, and built Zhao'an, Fenglin, Xinqi, Dalang and other forts, all of which stifled the thieves. Taste the battle Anyuan, was injured very much, heard the enemy, that is, stood up and galloped, and the crowd fought for the front. When facing the enemy, wearing a copper mask, entering and exiting the thieves, they are invincible and dare not be. "As for the time period, which battle, whether he fought alone, or with whom he cooperated, I can't find out. Subsequent generations of historians could only reproduce these abbreviated texts as they were.

On the third day of the fourth month of the fifth year of Emperor Song (1053 AD), Di Qing quelled Nong Zhigao's rebellion and returned to the court. Song Renzong Zhao Zhen set up a banquet in the vertical arch hall, hundreds of officials attended as accompaniment, and the emperor personally poured wine for General Di. A few days later, he watched Di Qing command the Fanluo cavalry to reenact the scene of Quy Nhon Pu breaking the enemy, and at the same time, he ordered the minister to discuss the merits for Di Qing.

Since ancient times, there have only been two merits, first, promotion; Second, give money. Needless to say, money was too common in the Song Dynasty, and the problem was focused on official positions. Two or three months before the rebellion, Di Qing was promoted to the position of deputy privy councilor. It's hard to say if this is a bit of an advance for the sake of his prestige when he sent out the army. That's when the triumphant returns, and the problem arises.

If it rises, how? As a military general, it is impossible to enter the Eastern Mansion and become the prime minister, so can the word "deputy" be removed? If it is removed, Di Qing will break a record that no one dares to care about in the past hundred years, except for the founding general Cao Bin, there has never been any military general, who can get the position of the first head of the military, the privy envoy of the Western Mansion.

This point may be controversial, and it is very clear in the history books that after the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were many people who served as privy envoys with military backgrounds. For example, Wu Tingzuo, Li Chongju, Chu Zhaofu, Wang Xian, Zhang Xun, Chai Yuxi, Wang Jiying, Ma Zhijie, Cao Yong, Zhang Qi, Wang Deyong and others. But there is a difference, military rank and military general are not the same. For example, a civil official, after serving as a privy envoy, that is, he has had military experience, but his essence, that is, the degree of danger, is still a civil official. He will not be noticed by the official places of the Song Dynasty. Of course, there are some alternatives, such as Wang Deyong. This is a real general, but when he became a privy envoy, to be precise, he was already a former general. He beat Li Jiqian when he was a teenager, and fought against the Empress Dowager Xiao when he was young, and then he was silent for decades, whether he wanted to or not, he could only lie on the merit book and sleep, until he was too old to be promoted, and became the first high-ranking privy envoy of the military. The reason why this is the case is that the Song Dynasty's Xifu official selection standards are playing tricks. As long as he is a military general who can kill people and usurp the throne, no matter how much credit he has made when he is young, he has to hang it aside. Until he is dying of old age and is completely out of danger, he can be promoted and turned into a god statue. This is the collective fate of the Northern Song Dynasty generals before Di Qing.

The prime ministers of Zhongshu Province are responsible for the discussion, and the matter is very clear, Di Qing, as the deputy privy envoy, cannot be promoted to the Eastern Mansion, so it is imperative to remove the word "deputy", this is the only official position that can be promoted. But was vetoed, Di Qing's remuneration became a lot of honorary titles, such as the envoy of the Shangguo Army, the inspector of the school, and his 4 sons were all promoted by several ranks, plus a lot of money. This matter is over, and the state and Di Qing have paid for the goods. But Liang Shi, who participated in politics, complained about Di Qing, and a few days later, Renzong suddenly summoned the ministers of the two provinces, and he frequently ordered Di Qing to be promoted to the privy envoy with a loud voice. On the same day, all the appointments were unanimously approved, and Di Qing finally became the first head of the military and the privy envoy of the Western Mansion. This news spread all over the capital in an instant, and the Song Dynasty, whether it was the military or the people, applauded this general who was born as a civilian, or even a criminal, and the country finally rewarded and punished clearly! We, the ordinary people, can also get ahead as long as we work hard and contribute to the country in the future!

Di Qing served as a privy envoy for a total of four years, and in the past four years, Di Qing has made every literati restless. If you arrange it in detail, he not only made the top dignitaries in Tokyo uncomfortable, but also changed the atmosphere of the entire Song Dynasty. Every time he went out on the street, there was an immediate jam. The crowd was rolling, and everyone was vying to witness the first commoner in the Song Dynasty to have a face since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

At that time, everyone showed their admiration from the bottom of their hearts, as well as the identification of their common origin. They vied with each other to praise how brave this general was, and he was a rare hero among the Han people. Not to mention the forbidden army in the capital, every time at this time, they are so excited that they can't restrain themselves, this is the pride of the entire military general community, nearly a hundred years of oppression and humiliation, and finally have a brother who raises his eyebrows!

All this made the civil servants angry, or to be precise, uneasy from the bottom of their hearts.

As a result, there was the later "innocent foreign domain".
