In Rencheng County, Li Yanqing also sighed slightly while standing at the head of the city, turned back to Cao Ye and said: "Go and tell the people that starting from this year, in addition to the normal tax exemption, Rencheng County will be given an additional two-year tax holiday." ”

"Let's arrange it!

At this time, a personal soldier came to report, "General Zhang, they have arrived." ”

"Invite them over!"

After a while, Zhang Rong and the three of them were brought up, and the three of them knelt down on one knee and saluted, "See all handsome!" ”

"Three generals, please get up!"

Li Yanqing asked the three of them to get up, Zhang Rong praised sincerely: "Today's humble position is considered to have seen it, what is called talking and laughing, and the handsome is Zhuge Liang's reincarnation!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I'm just good at using various environments to control the enemy, but today's battle can be completely won, thanks to the full cooperation of the three generals, I think the first credit is given to the three generals, congratulations to the three generals for each promotion!" ”

The three of them hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your support!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, and said to Shi Xiu: "General Shi is now a first-level commander, and his official rank has also been promoted to the fifth rank, I don't know if General Shi is willing to fight with me, or is he willing to go to the local government and become the chief general of a state?" ”

Shi Xiu thought for a while and asked, "I don't know where Du Shuai plans to let the humble post go?" ”

"Jeju Rule!"

Shi Xiu sighed, "There is an old mother, wife and children in the lowly family, and the mother is old, and the lowly wants to take good care of her, and is willing to stay in Jeju to serve the commander!" ”

"Good! When my army is gone, I will leave 1,000 soldiers for you, and at the same time reward 5,000 taels of silver, 30 hectares of Uedian, and I will hand over the security of Jeju to you. ”

"Humble duties will never disappoint Du Shuai!"

Li Yanqing smiled at Liu Tang again: "The choice just now is also suitable for General Liu!" ”

Liu Tang only groaned slightly, and then said: "I am willing to follow Du Shuai to continue to fight against Jin and drive the Jin soldiers out of my Great Song land!" ”

A hint of approval flashed in Li Yanqing's eyes, this is the temperament of a person.

In the end, Li Yanqing said to Zhang Rong: "I have blocked the Yellow River, and within half a year, there will be no more Jin soldiers on the Shandong Peninsula going south, and I will take the army away, I wonder if General Zhang is willing to continue to follow me to fight?" ”

Zhang Rong had made up his mind, so he said to Li Yanqing: "The lowly job is lazy by nature and can't stand the constraints of military discipline, and the lowly still wants to return to his hometown, be a big landlord, and live the second half of his life quietly." ”

Li Yanqing looked at him quietly for a moment, then nodded, "Everyone has their own ambitions, I won't force it, since you don't want to take up the military position, then I will make you the captain of the light car, this is the fourth rank of the commander, you can see the official without worshipping, the commander can also be passed on to three generations, in addition, I will reward you Yunzhou Shangtian Baiqing, 10,000 taels of silver, tax exemption for five years, you can be a rich man!" ”

Zhang Rong was moved in his heart, and knelt down on one knee again to salute, "Humble thanks to the handsome reward!" ”

"Go ahead!"

The three of them thanked each other again, and when the three left, Li Yanqing instructed a personal soldier scout: "Give me three years to monitor Zhang Rong, if he is honest as a landlord, then forget it, if he is still doing the business of intercepting merchant ships in Liangshanbo, you report to me immediately, and after three years, you will be promoted to two levels!" ”

"Obey the order!"

The soldiers left in a hurry, Li Yanqing stood at the head of the city and looked at Zhang Rong's back and said to himself: "The opportunity has been given to you, if you don't know what to do and return to your old business, then don't blame me Li Yanqing turned his face and was ruthless!" ”

After annihilating 30,000 Jin soldiers, Li Yanqing led an army of 90,000 to leave Liangshanbo and kill Bianjing along the Wuzhang River.

．．．．．．．．

Lin'an, Yinlong Villa, when the sky was not yet dawn, there was a frightened scream in the dormitory of the villa, and I saw several palace maids running out in horror and shouting to the guards on duty outside: "Go and ask for a doctor!" Go get a doctor! ”

Not long after, Xia You, the imperial physician who had been stationed in the Hidden Dragon Palace for a long time, hurriedly came, and he entered the dormitory directly under the guidance of several palace maids.

Outside the dormitory, anxious eunuchs and maids stood up, and they led their necks to look into the palace, and there was a whispering of discussion in the crowd.

"This seems to be the third time!"

"It's the third time, the first two times Imperial Doctor Xia has warned the emperor that he can't get close to women, he didn't listen, and he even intensified his pampering of Liu Guifei, sooner or later something big will happen."

"Hey! At such an age, how can the body withstand it? ”

"The Emperor was like this before, but his health has deteriorated in the past two years, and he doesn't know how to converge, alas——"

While they were discussing, there was a sudden cry in the palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside also understood, and knelt down and cried.

.........

Early in the morning, Fan Zhixu came to the palace early as usual, the early dynasty has been canceled, and all officials can sleep for half an hour more, unlike before when they have to get up before dawn, which is really hard.

Although the early dynasty was canceled, but the road of speech is still unimpeded, there are three huge red wooden boxes in front of the palace gate, this is not the informant cabinet of the Wu Zhou era, but the advice box of the hundred officials, the court encourages the hundred officials to express their own suggestions on various court affairs and the military state, and at the same time the court also has the "Chaobao", which publishes a journal every three days, publishes various court affairs, and some weighty suggestions can also be published in the court newspaper, causing a big discussion among the court officials.

This is Li Yanqing's inheritance and development of the Song Dynasty's tradition of freedom of speech, no matter the government and the people, can be convicted for legitimate speech, can ridicule the government, can ridicule high-ranking officials, but malicious slander, or vicious personal attacks are not allowed, then it does not belong to the category of legitimate speech.

Fan Zhixu, like all Lin'an people, likes the folk "Morning Post", which is also a folk newspaper migrated from Bianliang, after a year of suspension, it began to reissue, and it is getting better and better, the news is fast and accurate, popular and down-to-earth, and is deeply loved by ordinary people and officials.

Fan Zhixu likes to read the current affairs and the supplements in it, the current affairs convey the news of the world, and sometimes the news is faster than the imperial court, for example, today's front page headline is, 'Du Shuai designed to burn Rencheng, and 30,000 gold soldiers died in Huangquan', this news simply shocked Fan Zhixu, this is the great victory military newspaper just sent last night, and the "Morning Post" was actually published, where did their news come from?

Fan Zhixu hurriedly browsed through the current affairs, and opened the supplement, the supplement is a variety of business advertisements, renting, recruiting, all kinds of recommending their own store characteristics, it is simply dazzling, there is a column in the upper left corner, called yesterday's rice price, which announced the latest grain price in Ximaqiao rice market, as Xiangguo, Fan Zhixu usually has no time to understand the market, he got all kinds of people's livelihood information from the "Morning Post".

The above rice price made Fan Zhixu breathe a sigh of relief, the first-class Huzhou rice, 60 Wen of dou rice, basically the same as before the war, and did not cause prices to rise because of the Northern Expedition, which is also related to the full preparation for the war, a large amount of military food has long been hoarded, and there is no need to call for civilian food.

At this time, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the official office of the Zhizheng Hall, Fan Zhixu walked out of the carriage, he just walked up the steps, Gao Shen hurriedly greeted him, and whispered in his ear: "The emperor has an accident!" ”

Fan Zhixuan was shocked, "Did you die?" ”

Gao Shen nodded, "I died at the fifth watch last night, and I was still with Concubine Liu." ”

Fan Zhixu sighed, the last time was because of overindulgence with Liu Guifei, which caused him to wake up in a coma for two days, and he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he made the same mistake again.

"What did Imperial Physician Xia say?"

"Doctor Xia said that it was because of continuous overdose, and he took double the yang medicine for ten consecutive days, and he died of severe yang loss."

Fan Zhixu shook his head, in the past, the emperor paid great attention to health preservation, and in the past year, he has felt a little broken and broken, and he pursues timely fun.

"How many people still know about this?"

"It's hidden for the time being, and only you and I know about it in the DPRK at present."

Fan Zhixu thought for a while and said, "Let's make the information public!" So as not to be misunderstood. ”

Gao Shen understood what Fan Zhixu meant, if he hid it, it would make people suspect that Li Yanqing and the imperial court had done something, it was better to make it public, although it was not good for the reputation of the Emperor Taishang, but Li Yanqing's innocence was preserved.

"I see, what if the Morning Post wants to investigate this?"

"Let them investigate, tell Imperial Doctor Xia, and answer truthfully."

The two walked into the lobby, and Zheng Wangzhi and Li Gang were discussing the great victory of Rencheng.

"I'm really strange, "Morning Post" actually knows about Rencheng's victory at the same time as us, what is the reason for this?"

Li Gang said with a smile: "You don't know this, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, the morning newspaper has sent people to guard the door of the military letter office all night, once there is an urgent express report, they will spend money to buy news, the military newspaper is generally a combination of oral report and letter newspaper, of course they can get the news as quickly as possible." ”

"No wonder!"

At this time, Fan Zhixu walked in and asked, "What about Xianggong Cao?" ”

"Here!" Cao Yan walked in from behind.

"It's almost time, let's get started!"

Every morning, the prefect has to hold a short meeting to discuss the major events of the day, and then make real arrangements, this practice has been adhered to for almost a year, in the past, Li Yanqing would also participate, and there would often be high-ranking officials from various ministries to attend, but today the meeting was held for the five ministers.

The five of them sat down in the council hall, and Fan Zhixu said: "I have something to tell you, the emperor died last night!" ”

Although this incident is a bit regrettable, it is not shocking, after all, the Emperor Taishang has long been out of government affairs, and his importance is almost gone.

"Do you want to inform the regent about this?" Li Gang asked.

Fan Zhixu nodded, "Of course, I have to inform the regent, it is estimated that the war is very urgent, and he will not be able to come back for a while, and the imperial court is still responsible for the affairs of Empress Taishang!" Today, let's set the standards for the future, everyone see, what about the funeral? ”

At this time, Cao Yan, who had not spoken, said: "Just come according to the standards of the first emperor!" So everyone has nothing to say. ”

The funeral of the first emperor Zhao Gou was very simple, and the funeral items were his usual favorite items, and the imperial court did not spend much money, although Cao Yan made sense, everyone could hear it, and he was obviously dissatisfied.

But then again, the death of the Emperor did save the imperial court a lot of money every year.

Fan Zhixu thought for a while and said, "Let's vote!" If you agree to be buried according to the standards of the first emperor, you can raise your hand. ”

Cao Yan and Gao Shen raised their hands at the same time, Li Gang also raised his hand, Fan Zhixu also raised his hand, only Zheng Wangzhi hesitated slightly, but he also raised his hand in the end.

Fan Zhixu nodded, "Since it was unanimously approved, then it will be buried according to the standards of the first emperor." ”

Although this matter is also considered a major government matter, Li Yanqing had authorized the Zhizheng Hall before leaving for the expedition, and in his absence, except for the three matters related to the army, the change of the Xiangguo, and the change of the political structure, other matters can be voted on by the Zhizheng Hall.
