Wax Day

Every Laba day, whether it is the imperial court, the government, the temple or the Li people's homes, they have to make Laba porridge. In the imperial court, the emperor, empress, and prince would give Laba porridge to the ministers of civil and military affairs and the maids of the palace, and distribute rice and fruits to various monasteries for the monks to eat.

There are six pots of Laba porridge in the palace this year, the first pot worships the gods and Buddhas, the second pot enters the palace, the third pot rewards the princes and ministers, the fourth pot rewards the civil and military officials and the provincial officials, the fifth pot is distributed to the monks, and the sixth pot is used as alms, which shows the gold of this porridge.

Today's morning pilgrimage did not stop because of this festival. Emperor Rongjing sat on the court and accepted the courtiers' bows.

Today, all the ministers are present, even more than the grand court meeting.

But the most shocking thing is that the military department Shangshu Ma Guanghui reported that he had just received a report from the Northwest Army that the Northwest Pingqing Army had won a great victory, and all the 100,000 rebel troops had been captured! This news came at the right time, as if another shot of cardiotonic had been injected into the court, and everyone couldn't suppress the excitement.

Compared with the excitement of the courtiers, Emperor Rong Jing was much calmer. This news had been urgently reported to the imperial court by 800 miles two days ago, but Emperor Rongjing never announced it, but chose to break the news at the time of Lari, and its shocking effect was undoubtedly more significant.

The ministers were excited, and the voices of congratulations were endless.

This time, the Pingqing general Xu Zhongqi successfully recovered the territory of 600,000 square miles in the Qinghai area occupied by the rebels. The main force of the rebels was encircled and annihilated, and the relatives of the rebels, the families of the rebel chiefs and other subordinate historians were captured alive.

Emperor Rongjing was overjoyed, and he was crowned Prince Taibao of Xu Zhongqi, a third-class prestige prince.

And Xu Zhongqi led the army to sacrifice prisoners, and then rewarded.

Subsequently, the follow-up disposal of the 100,000 rebels became the focus of the courtiers' discussions.

The amount of 100,000 rebels is really huge, and how to digest these rebels has also become a top priority.

"Chen Qijuan: This rebel army should turn Hu into Han, and the rebel should divide and rule, one: do coolies, build fortifications, repair rivers, build bridges, polish their fighting spirit, and wear down their spirit. The second rule: change from pasture to farming, dissolve in agricultural affairs, educate the foolish people, and make the rebels return to their hearts and attach themselves to the imperial court. I am mighty to the sky, and I will make all directions return, and all the people will congratulate. ”

Yang Mingshi, the secretary of the ministry, was a scholar of Baohe Temple, a leading military position, the first assistant of the class, and the report was also very pertinent.

Emperor Rongjing frequently nodded in approval, treating these 100,000 rebel prisoners of war well, which can deter the Quartet and make the sea surrender. Killing the rebels was not in the slightest consideration of Emperor Rong Jing.

And the Yellow River is blocked, it needs to be treated, and this fortification is just done in winter, and 100,000 rebels are treated in sections, which can solve two hidden dangers.

After a few fortifications, the fighting spirit of the rebels was worn out, and they were reduced to slavery again, and the lands were divided and ruled.

Along with the old attack, the rebel chieftains were removed, the remnants were incorporated into the people, and local customs were forcibly enforced. After ten or twenty years, they will be the same as the Mutu people around them, with the same customs and customs, and destroy everyone.

Emperor Rongjing said loudly: "Zhun Qing played." In addition, Qinghai Province is exempted from taxation for three years, so that the people of a province can recuperate. ”

"According to General Xu's report, there are still more than 5,000 rebels who have fled to the mountains around Zhuanglangwei in Gansu. Ma Guanghui continued to prelude.

"The remnants should be cleared up, can the princes have a candidate?" Emperor Rong Jing asked.

Gao Jiwen, a university scholar, said, "The minister thinks that General Xu is particularly familiar with the rebels, and he can lead the army to quell the rebellion and eliminate the remnants." ”

Emperor Rong Jing didn't think about it, and said directly, "General Xu, I have another appointment, and I recommend him." ”

"Wu Ying, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and Shaanxi, can go, and the remnants can be pacified." Zhu Yancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.

"It's not proper, General Wu's position is heavy, and it is not appropriate to transfer him. In the case of five thousand rebellious, it is necessary to use a knife, and the Weichen Baoju Cavalry Captain Dong Chengpeng, who comes from a martial arts family, and his people are Yunwen Yunwu, who can be worthy of this position. ”

As soon as Hu Bo, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, said this, there was a whisper in the hall, and the main purpose was to insinuate Hu Bo's shamelessness, nepotism, shameful!

Hu Bo stood on top of the court, rather rude, completely ignoring the sarcastic gaze of others. His daughter is now married to Dong Fuerlang, why can't she push her in-laws, as long as her in-laws win this position, they have merit in purging and promotion, how can they not take a look at their daughters when they marry them? The fool let his own people not recommend others, and Hu Bo raised his head higher.

Most people in the court still treat it with an attitude of watching the excitement, this kind of reckless man who directly recommends his in-laws is unbearable to be with him!

The sound of discussion gradually stopped, but the Son of Heaven on the throne said, "Quasi-play, Dong Chengpeng is the leader of the cavalry, commanding 30,000 troops, out of Qinghai, turning over Qilian, and marching towards Zhuanglangwei in Gansu." Completely wipe out the remnants of the rebels.

Xie Ersu was appointed as the governor of Gansu, and he was in charge of supervising the military and political affairs of Gansu and Qinghai, and dealing with the aftermath of the rebels. ”

Airplanes......

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom, and both appointments were surprising.

Dong Chengpeng's name is not well known, although his father and grandparents were all figures on the side of the unified army, but Dong Chengpeng himself is not obvious, and he can get this good errand with the recommendation of only one in-law, which can be said to be beyond everyone's expectations.

And it is still through this way of promoting virtue and not avoiding relatives, how is it not surprising?

But there are also some military attachés who are not surprised by this, because Dong Chengpeng was quite talented when he was young, although he did not lead the army to fight, but he was quite talented in the Beijing garrison battalion, and he deduced a very fine way in the sand table, although he did not have actual combat, but his talent was of good use. And this kind of suppression of more than 5,000 rebels is really not a big battle in detail, and it is almost a credit to the hand-to-hand capture, and the left and right are only between the thoughts of the saint.

What is really surprising is that Xie Ersu was appointed as the governor of Gansu, overseeing the military affairs of Gansu and Qinghai.

And Xie Ersu is a confidant of Emperor Rongjing, and now he is appointed to a confidential position to command the two armies, which further demonstrates Emperor Rongjing's further control over imperial power and military politics.

The court was solemn, and the sound of the mountain shouting long live was endless.

......

Located in the northwest of the Mangshan peak, there is a manor.

All the way is paved with bluestone, even in winter, the garden does not reduce the color of the green onions, green plants are paved, flowers and trees are decorated, and even the cold winter is isolated from the mountains and forests.

There is also a clear spring gurgling in the forest, the buildings are widely spread, the birds and beasts are singing together, and they are strolling among the strange flowers and trees. I think that the Chongwen Garden built by the giant rich stone protection back then can only be similar to this.

It is like a royal palace, and it is magnificent.

In a poolside pavilion, several people sit in it, warm wine and tea, and drink tea and talk.
