Tong Guan stepped forward with a cup, and Emperor Zhao Ji signaled Cai Jing again, and the four of them drank a cup together. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What is the general's position now?" Zhao Ji drank and asked again.

Tong Guan smiled when he heard this, knowing that the matter was about to be completed, and replied directly in place of Zheng Zhi: "Official, Zheng Zhi is now the head of the Weizhou Soldiers and Horses Capital of Qinfeng Road, and the right martial arts doctor under the six grades. ”

"Under the six pins? Such a general, how can it be a six-pin? I heard that the Northwest discussed merit, and General Zheng was the first, and he should be promoted. "Zhao Ji's tone has come. How difficult it was to be promoted in the Song Dynasty, civil officials had seniority, and only those with enough qualifications could they have the qualifications to increase their ranks, and the military attache was fifty-three levels, and one level was promoted at the first level. It was Di Qing, who had fought countless battles, and when he was in charge of Qin Feng's military, he was only five grades.

Now that Zhao Ji is in power, this emperor can also do things that have been promoted to eight levels in a row. Wang Huang was sealed a few years later, and it was this Zhao Ji who waved his pen and was promoted to eight levels in a row. was so angry that many civil officials in the court, who had stayed up from teenagers to gray hair, couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard this, if it was an ordinary promotion, he didn't need to go through the emperor, Tong Guan could decide by himself, and Cai Jing helped, and the general official position was not a problem, but it was this Zheng Zhi who wanted to go through the state capital and use martial artists to do civil affairs, so it was not so simple. Di Qing has countless military achievements, and he has never really held the official position of commanding a place, most of them are only in charge of the military affairs of soldiers and horses.

Tong Guan looked at Cai Jing, the two exchanged a look, Tong Guan said cautiously: "A general like Zheng Zhi should be in the border Guanzhou Mansion, and he has been discussing this matter recently, and he has not yet reported it to His Majesty." ”

Tong Guan's words play a word game, through the border pass, said like this, the focus of the speech is in the border state capital, the general should be in the border gate state capital for the country, this word is a virtual word. But it's the word "omission" that is the point.

"Well, that's reasonable, where should General Zheng go?" During Zhao Ji's questioning, he also went to see Cai Jing, feeling that he was working hard for the country, and he also felt that he had governed the country well, with clear rewards and punishments, and meritorious service must be rewarded.

Tong Guan looked at Cai Jing again, and saw that Cai Jing nodded slightly in response, and he was sure in his heart, obviously the two had already communicated. Tong Guan said again: "Now that Western Xia is no longer a climate, Cangzhou is a bitter cold borderland, and it borders Liao, so Zheng Zhi went to Cangzhou just right." ”

In order to show that Cangzhou is not important, Tong Guan directly described Cangzhou as a bitter cold place, and also wanted to dilute the status of Cangzhou and the fact of this strategy.

Who knew that this Zhao Ji felt that Zheng Zhi had made a great contribution, and he was a little unbearable to go to the bitter cold place again, and said: "Cangzhou is bitter cold, a prisoner's place, and the reward should not be here." ”

Zhao Ji's impression of Cangzhou seems to be the place where this criminal is stabbed and filled with the army, and with this impression, he naturally thinks that Cangzhou is not a good place, and it is also Tong Guan's diluted words.

Tong Guan listened to the emperor's words and hurriedly signaled to Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi saw Tong Guan's eyes, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the young general is willing to go to Cangzhou, the young general is not afraid of the cold and the cold, but I am afraid that I will not be able to serve Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, he was so rewarded and punished, the corporal Lixian, and the courtiers shared their worries for themselves, not afraid of hardship, and came from ancient times, such monarchs and ministers are for the country and the people, and said with a smile: "Okay, that is the case, the general will go to Cangzhou, and if he has meritorious service, he will find a good place to be an official." ”

Zhao Ji thought about it, the hero is willing to go to a hard place, and he should also give him a prospect, so that Zheng Zhi can work hard, and if he has meritorious deeds in the future, he can also be transferred to the prosperous state capital, which is also an incentive means.

Tong Guan was waiting for this sentence, and then said: "Your Majesty is really a Ming Jun, a rare king in ancient times, no wonder the soldiers fought with their lives on the battlefield, no wonder the Western Xia was finally defeated, my Great Song Dynasty has this Ming Jun, it is really the blessing of the country." ”

Tong Guan said with a loyal and sincere face, and Emperor Zhao Ji listened to it, and his face was happy.

The major affairs of the country were properly handled in this song and dance. Tong Guan Cai Jing also knew in his heart that if this matter was discussed in the court, and a military attache who was born as a butcher would go to the state capital, there would inevitably be many obstacles.

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were also ministers like Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong, although they did not have much real authority in their hands, they could speak in the court. The two were born to deal with Cai Jing, and Cai Jing resigned a few years later, and these two were the main forces in the front.

Zheng Zhi hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and cast grateful eyes at Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

Master Li finished playing, sat on the side and watched everything in front of this hall, looking at Zheng Zhi's back. In my heart is the praise of Zheng Zhi by Zhou Duwen and Li Boji yesterday, and at this time, it is the scene of Zheng Zhi being praised by the current emperor. The two figures slowly merged together, becoming more and more majestic. Those literati who talk about it every day, compared with Zheng Zhi, who is both civil and military, are like clowns on the side of the road.

At this time, it was time for Master Li to retreat, the audience was full of court officials, and there was no room for Master Li to speak, just stand up gently, salute, and step backwards. At present, the emperor can't turn around and leave, he can only go backwards like this.

Suddenly, this Zhao Ji saw Master Li who was retreating, and said, "That... That one... Miss Li, stay here, your lyrics and music are excellent, I want to compose the lyrics, you will sing. ”

Master Li retreated slowly, and heard Zhao Ji's that and that, until he called out this Li girl, he knew that the emperor was calling himself, obviously the emperor was also thinking about what the woman's name was when he was talking just now.

Hearing this, Master Li saluted again, and slowly walked back to the small stool just now and sat down. There are also subordinates who prepare pen and ink on the small case, so that Master Li can record it.

Zhao Ji stopped Master Li, seemed to think of something, looked at Zheng Zhidao: "The general and this Miss Li are old acquaintances?" ”

Zheng Zhi glanced at Zhao Ji lightly, and thought, this emperor can't be a fancy to Master Li, right? Busy said: "Back to Your Majesty, the young general and this teacher girl are old acquaintances. ”

Emperor Zhao Ji looked at Zheng Zhi's expression, smiled and asked, "But is the old man good?" ”

After a few glasses of wine, the emperor's words were already teasing, but Zheng Zhi didn't expect the emperor to suddenly ask such a question. I thought, how do you answer that? If it is said that he is a good old man, this Master Li will definitely be able to hear it clearly in the back. If it is not said that he is an old friend, is Master Li going to become Zhao Ji's old friend?

"Your Majesty is smiling!" Zheng Zhi only hesitated for a moment and answered this ambiguous sentence.

Zhao Ji laughed when he heard this, with an expression that I knew, and even felt that he was very accurate in seeing people and things, and said proudly: "Haha... Give this Li girl a reward. Today's song "Suiyang Pingchu" is really extraordinary, and there are many musicians in the palace, but no one can play this song so thrilling. ”

To say that today's Master Li's song "Suiyang Pingchu" is the best in the world, it is not necessarily true. But it was the spears flying all over the field that matched the heroic "Chivalrous Journey" just right.
