Zhao Ji was full of praise for Han Gang's ability to command a group of rebels to fight to the death, but the rewards for these rebels made the imperial court very worried.

"You can give preferential treatment, but as for the official position, it must not be sealed!" Wang Anshi, as the prime minister, made a final decision.

Wen Yanbo has nothing to say about Wang Anshi's decision. The combat power shown by the old Guangrui soldiers led by Liu Yuan has already made all the princes of the court feel tricky, and they will never be reinstated, otherwise they will rebel again, and no one can afford this responsibility, so they can only choose to use the money of the house to satisfy them.

"According to Qin Fengyuan's proposal to pacify the Division, the past sins of the meritorious people have been pardoned, so that their descendants can join the army and get an official position, but they must stay in the Tongyuan Army and not return." Feng Jing, as a political counselor, also stood up to show his existence.

The graceful golden retriever stood with Wu Chong, who had a sarcoma on his neck, and there was a stark contrast. is the first Wang Jue, and his appearance is not much worse than Feng Jing.

"It's just that once the sins are forgiven, I'm afraid they won't use their lives again as they did this time."

Zhao Ji's worries, none of the ministers had an interface. This group of rebels, it's troublesome enough to use it once, who would dare to use it a second time?!

The silence of the courtiers made Zhao Ji unhappy in his heart, and he frowned slightly.

Zeng Bu flashed out of the class, he and Zhang Dian stood at the back of the train, and the two people with important official positions were qualified to enter the Chongzheng Palace, but more often, they still stood at the back of the most and made a qualified bonsai. But when he had the opportunity to speak, Zeng Bu would never let go:

"There is a matter of ministers, His Majesty: Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu have recently heard in the book: Wushengjun has been captured, and Lintao City is about to be completed.

Zeng Bu's words made Zhao Ji come to the spirit and give names to the newly conquered lands, which was what he liked to do. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Wusheng Army gave the name Zhentao Army, and Lintao restored the old name Di Dao." ”

Zeng Bu bowed down to receive the order, and the names Wusheng and Lintao became a thing of the past.

"Who will guard the Zhentao army?" Zhao asked a crucial question.

"Wang Shao recommended Han Gang!"

"Han Gang?!" Wen Yanbo's face changed.

Feng Jing was also displeased: "Guarding Zhentao, where is he qualified to choose people?!" ”

"Dare to ask Feng to participate in politics, Han Gang is not qualified enough, so who is qualified?!" Before Wang Anshi could speak, Zhang Dian at the bottom was already refuting sharply.

He walked out, saluted the Son of Heaven, and turned sideways to Feng Jing: "Han Gang's merits are already enough. Thunderbolt artillery has made meritorious contributions, countless sanatoriums have been treated, and sand tables and military chess are all over the world. In addition, Hehuang has won several great victories, and Han Gang has special honors. Although Yokoyama was defeated, Han Gang's exploits could not be hidden. The healing of injuries and illnesses in their own duties is not faulty; In Luowu and Xianyang, who can compare the credit? In addition, he guarded Weiyuan this time, beheaded more than 1,000 people, and the thieves captured and beheaded one by one, and at the same time, he also made tens of thousands of people on the front line of Lintao not lack food and clothing.

In other words, if it is someone else, as long as there is any one of these merits, it is enough to ensure the promotion of the court. Zhang Dian dared to ask Feng to participate in politics, he opposed Han Gang's transfer of officials before participating in politics, and this time he said that he was not qualified to serve as the governor of Zhentao, so please participate in politics and say that a person with half of Han Gang's credit will come out! Recommend a Beijing Dynasty official with half of Han Gang's merits to know the Zhentao army! ”

Zhang Dian was full of expression, questioning sentence by word, and without waiting for Feng Jing's words to refute, he turned to Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, Han Gang is an outstanding person, and his merits are repeated. In Hehuang is also famous, the letter of grace spread far away in the Tibetan department, with him to guard the town of Tao army, His Majesty can sit back and relax, and Tongyuan, you can also rest and recuperate, in order to wait for the spring of next year. ”

Zhao Ji nodded again and again, and Zhang Dan's words reached his heart, and he turned his gaze and looked at his prime minister with inquiring eyes.

Wang Anshi bowed his head knowingly: "This is also Wang Shao's recommendation." ”

Wang Shao's intention to recommend Han Gang, Wang Anshi knew it. If Han Gang still maintains his current official position, he is not qualified to hold an important position in a larger-scale battle. Even if this time's strategy Wusheng was served, he served as the transfer envoy with the army, and the imperial court also arranged another Cai Xi to take the same position, and this appointment almost broke the big thing.

If Han Gang's status cannot be improved quickly, how can he sit in the position of a transfer envoy with the army in the decisive battle of Hezhou next year. Hehuang has won great victories again and again, attracting more than one or two greedy eyes. When it came time for the real decisive battle, even the Son of Heaven and Wang Anshi couldn't suppress the ministers who wanted to share the credit.

Wang Shao actually didn't mind giving them a little credit. But how many of these people will be as honest as Wang Zhongzheng? If it was a self-assertive, arrogant and domineering person, how could he have so much energy to suppress it. If the person sent in is not suitable, it will be a big deal. Wang Shao knew that he couldn't lock up his one-third of his acre of land with a fence, but he had to at least ensure that Han Gang could preside over the transfer with the army, otherwise he would have to worry about whether there would be chaos behind him even if he was out fighting.

In the letter that Wang Anshi received, Wang Shao had already made his plan clear and clear, and he must ensure Han Gang's promotion. It's not just as simple as promoting the officials of the Jing Dynasty, but even the seniority must be exceeded, otherwise the Privy Council has absolute power to veto the appointment of Han Gang as the military transfer envoy in the future decisive battle, and the Imperial Historical Observatory will also interfere - don't think how broad-minded those imperial historians are.

Wang Anshi came forward to support Han Gang, Wang Shao is the most important border minister of Zhao Ji at the moment, how can Zhao Ji refute the common opinion of the two of them? What's more, Han Gang was a courtier he had been optimistic about for a long time. Han Gang's entry into the official was specially approved by him, and he was personally promoted by Buyi. The better Han Gang performs, the more it reflects his Zhao Ji's vision of employing people - in the past two years, Han Gang has given him a lot of faces.

"If that's the case, then ......"

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Son of Heaven was about to nod, Feng Jing hurriedly objected, and at the age of twenty, he was transferred to an important position in the border area, which is really too exaggerated: "Han Gang has too few teeth and too few seniority. The age of the weak crown is only two years old, and it is not good for it to be promoted. And this precedent is preserved, and there will be treacherous people who will take advantage of it in the future. ”

Zeng Bu said: "Han Gang has both ability and talent, and few people have merit. Dare to ask Feng to participate in politics, I don't know that Gan Luo worships the prime minister, and goes to the sick to lead the army, how old were they at that time? ”

"Gan Luo and Huo Quzhi are all young people. The young man is proud, and the future is difficult to end. Wu Chong, the privy deputy envoy, also opposed the appointment of Han Gang, so many times, Wu Chong had already seen Zhao Ji's appreciation of Han Gang, he would not be hard with the Son of Heaven, just make a stumbling block below. And Zeng Bu's words gave him a chance: "Your Majesty, Han Gang's talent is rare, and I hope that the reputation will not be too much, in case he dies early!" ”

Seeing Zhao Ji hesitating, Wen Yanbo glanced at Wu Chong appreciatively, and immediately stepped forward to add bricks and tiles: "Like Yang Yi in the old days, he was rarely recommended by a prodigy in front of Taizong, he was talented, and Taizong and Zhenzong were both trustworthy." It's a pity that his life expectancy is only three years and one year. ”

Yang Yi Yang Danian was a famous prodigy in the court during the Taizong and Zhenzong dynasties, and even the famous minister Kou Zhun appreciated him, but he only lived to be thirty-seven years old before he died.

Zhao Ji appreciates Han Gang very much, of course he doesn't want Han Gang to have an accident at a young age, one or two decades later, Han Gang is also a famous minister who has stabilized the frontier, if he does well, the future is even more limitless.

After listening to Wu Chong and Wen Yanbo's words, he thought about it, few of the courtiers who were proud of their youth in the past died in the past, but most of them died early.

"The reward is unfair, but the court is lucky?!" Zhang Dian tried his best to argue for Han Gang, "With Han Gang's merits and talents, he was actually delayed in the sea of selection. In the election of the palace in the past three or five days, which one still has the face to turn to the Beijing officials? ! ”

Zhang Dan's words, Zhao Ji also felt reasonable. The young official he never met was owed a lot by the court.

The Son of Heaven was in a dilemma, and Wang Anshi was actually worried that Han Gang would be promoted too fast, and what would happen. The statement that the sky is changing is terrifying, that is Han Qi's summary, not what Wang Anshi said personally. In fact, in his heart, he also agrees with some views of fatalism.

It's just that Han Gang can't help but appreciate, as Zhang Dian said, so much credit is just a selection of people, how can the imperial court motivate the people to be loyal to the state in the future. So there can only be a compromise: "Even if you can't be a magistrate, it's okay to send a general sentence." It doesn't hurt to become a Beijing official. The position of Zhijun is concurrent, Gao Zunyu and Miao Zhu can do it. ”

"Han Gang's seniority is still insufficient." Wen Yanbo bluntly vetoed Wang Anshi's opinion, "Even if Han Gang becomes a Beijing official, if he wants to serve as a general judge, there are still two prefects in front of him." ”

The seniority is an important basis for determining the level of official appointments in the Beijing Dynasty. Under normal circumstances, the officials of the Beijing Dynasty are all two governors who have completed their seniority before they can be promoted to general judgment. Only when the seniority of the two terms is completed can he serve as the governor. Naturally, a series of functions in central institutions such as the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, and the Three Divisions are also divided according to the seniority order of the county, the general judge, and the state.

For example, the inspection of each house in the book is the second general judgment seniority, that is, the general judgment has served for one term, or is equivalent to the dispatch of a general judge, to be eligible to serve, otherwise you have to add a 'right' or 'right to dispatch'.

This was a system set up to prevent young officials from being inexperienced and serving as high-ranking officials, but it gradually became a tool for seniority, and in the later period of Renzong, it even became that no matter whether the officials were virtuous or not, they were all waiting according to their seniority, which was also a common problem in bureaucratic society.

Why will Wang Anshi be criticized after promoting Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dian and others? It's because he messed up the seniority in the court. Let young officials who are not qualified enough jump to high positions at once. Let those old officials who have survived their age be resentful. It also makes those old-school characters feel that the rules are out of order.

But Zhao Ji finally got annoyed, "This is not a matter of the secret court, so don't say more about the Wen Qing family." He directly told Wen Yanbo to shut up.

Wen Yanbo raised his eyebrows, and his face was suddenly full of anger, Zhao Ji's words were too shameless for him. He immediately protested: "In the land of the river, the matter of setting up the Jingluo Pacification Division, can the minister still say it?!" ”
