The song of the victory was sent to Bianjing by the fast horse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The moment he saw the good news, Emperor Zhao Ji finally had a smile on his face that had been hazy for a long time.

It's just a piece of paper, a small victory, but in a special place, in a special time, the significance is extraordinary.

Although Mu Zheng's father and son have always had the experience of paying tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, at that time, as a foreign state, Hezhou belonged to Tibet during this period, not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now that Wang Shao and Lin Zhao have occupied a large area of land in Hezhou, it is an indisputable fact that in terms of form, the land area of the Great Song Dynasty has increased by a large area.

Side work!

Expanding the territory is a great achievement for any emperor.

This was especially true for the emperors of the Song Dynasty!

Throughout history, prosperous dynasties such as the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties were strong in dealing with their steppe enemies. Qin Youmeng Tian but the Xiongnu for more than 700 miles; Han Youwei Qing went north to attack the Huns, and Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu; The Tang Dynasty broke the Turks in Yinshan, and Li Shimin was given the title of Heavenly Khan.

But what did the Song Dynasty have?

The northern grasslands have not been controlled, and the Western Regions have been lost for many years, only a corner of the Central Plains, and even the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which were originally the homeland of the Central Plains, cannot be recovered.

The Liao State and the Western Xia once invaded, but they could only be supported by hard work, and they could not counterattack, and the annual currency was sent out in order to seek peace.

Humiliation!

It is precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty fell into a state of poverty and weakness, and it was the most cowardly period of the Central Plains Dynasty. A thriving economy, a splendid culture. Eventually, they will be submerged under the iron hooves of the alien race.

Bian Gong, it seems, has never been!

So. When the fact of expanding the territory is in front of us, even if it is only 2,000 miles, it is snatched from the hands of the Tibetan allies, it is also very exciting! It seems ordinary, but it has cross-era significance, and it can be written about in a big way!

This is especially true for Zhao Ji!

Several emperors before him, Taizu unified the Central Plains and laid the foundation; Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty. The battle of Gaoliang River was defeated, and the sixteen states of Yanyun left the Great Song Dynasty forever! Emperor Zhenzong was even more unbearable, the Liao army had already reached the Yellow River, and in the case of victory, signed a humiliating "Yuanyuan Alliance" with the Liao State.

Renzong was the son of peace, and he was relatively peaceful for decades, but he had no credit. As for Yingzong. He reigned for only four years, and he achieved nothing.

Now in the hands of Zhao Ji, there is a side work!

The Great Song Dynasty expanded its territory for the first time, can Zhao Ji not be excited? Even if the remnants of Mu Zheng have not been completely cleared, and Hezhou is only simply controlled, there is already a fact. He was excited. I can't wait to announce the good news to the courtiers and the subjects of the world!

The qualitative is a side skill, and it is also praised very highly, only in this way is he Zhao Ji is the first king of the Great Song Dynasty to expand the territory! That's the only way. Only in the history books will there be a big book!

Since the beginning of the drought, Wang Anshi has been deposed. Zhao Ji has been aggrieved for too long, and finally has merit that can make him happy and make him raise his eyebrows, such an opportunity will naturally not be missed.

After Zhao Ji announced the good news in the court, he immediately said that Hezhou belonged to the Great Song Dynasty, and together with Xizhou, it was called Xihe Road, and then a celebration would be held.

Although some ministers objected and felt that it was too hasty, some courtiers thought that Mu Zheng had not yet been ambushed, and he still had great strength and was too hasty.

But Zhao Ji didn't care at all, and said that only by bringing Hezhou under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible could the military operations over there be logical and avoid a lot of trouble! If you think about it carefully, it makes sense, Hezhou officially became a state and county of the Great Song Dynasty, so the remnants of Mu Zheng are traitors, and if other forces want to intervene, they will invade the Great Song Dynasty. Whether it is to pursue and counter the rebellion, or to defend against foreign enemies, it is logical that the division is famous!

It's just that in this way, it can be regarded as completely angering Hehuang Tubo!

Zhao Ji didn't care so much, such side skills were quickly determined, and only a strong stroke on his imperial record could come true, which was too important.

The thoughtful officials noticed this, praised and congratulated him, and patted him on the back, and Zhao Ji was even more useful in his heart.

Since it is a side merit, in addition to the merit of the emperor, it is also the merit of the courtiers. Immediately, a minister wrote that the soldiers who participated in the war should be rewarded!

Zhao Ji naturally did not object, this was the way it should be. Wang Shao was immediately crowned as the Marquis of Dingyuan, the general of Huaihua, and the envoy of the Xihe Road.

Lin Zhao was already a marquis, and he was still young, so it didn't seem appropriate to immediately crown the title of Guogong, so he was just crowned General Yunlu, the governor of Hezhou. However, because of the merit, the two children in the infant Hou Mansion became viscounts, and they were extremely noble.

Jing Sili, Liu Changzuo and many other generals were rewarded one by one, and at the same time ordered the transfer envoys to go to reward the three armies.

Zheng Xia, a member of the Ministry of Rites, wrote that such a great merit should be held to hold a grand sacrifice to inform heaven and earth, and the temple to inform the ancestors. The ceremony is solemn in order to show the glory and majesty of the country in the Great Song Dynasty.

Just in line with my heart, Zhao Ji smiled when he saw Song Shu. Zheng Xia's bad impression of impeaching Wang Anshi also disappeared without a trace in an instant!

Suddenly, the originally planned celebration was raised several notches. However, Zhao Ji was thrilled, which was also what he wanted. It's just that it was not easy to speak before, but since the courtier has proposed it, then it is completely possible to push the boat down the river. It just so happened that Zhang Zongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, agreed, and Zhao Ji agreed more simply.

Most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were people who understood and knew the intentions of the officials, although they felt that there was some "making a big fuss", and the officials were too vain. It's just that after all, it's a good thing, since the official family has a heart, then let him be vain and happy, so he doesn't object. It's just that I am vaguely worried in my heart, the battle of Hezhou has not yet settled, it is so high-profile, if there is any change, it will be a shame!

The pressure in Hezhou is not small! The officials all know that many generals have added officials to knighthood, which seems to be beautiful on the front line, but it is not easy!

After the matter was confirmed, some officials said that since it was a sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth Temple and a report of merit, in addition to the emperor, should there also be front-line generals who came back to report on their work and accept the reward!

This is not bad, Zhao Ji does have this thought!

Just who to let come back?

The officials of the Ministry of Rites said that at least they are general-level figures, otherwise how can they represent all the soldiers on the front line of Xihe Road? Sacrificing to the Heaven and Earth Temple, the little people really can't get on the stage.

According to the solemnity of the etiquette, Wang Shao and Lin Zhao seem to be the most suitable!

Let Lin Zhao come back? It is inevitable that there is a suspicion of overstepping the bounds, and Lin Zhao's favor is too prosperous, if he appears on the occasion of sacrificing to the temple, it seems to be a little ......

Even if Lin Zhao personally led the army to win the battle of Baicheng, the boss was always Wang Shao! Lin Zhao is also too young, Mu Xiu is in the forest, and it is not good if the limelight is too strong.

Moreover, Wang Shao went to the northwest for several years, did his best, made outstanding achievements, and never came back, Zhao Ji also missed it very much, and wanted to take this opportunity to reward and honor his confidant ministers.

At this time, Wang Shao's mother, who had just been ordained, fell ill and missed her son very much!

Filial piety comes first, and the court has always advocated filial piety to rule the world, and when the mother is sick, the son should also wait by his side! Especially Wang Shao has not been home for several years, and the situation is even more special.

In the past, loyalty and filial piety could not be both, but now, it seems that it can be the best of both worlds.

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he issued an edict asking Wang Shao to return to Bianjing to report on his work, and at the same time visit his sick mother! With the filial piety of the whole Wang Shao, it also seems that the king is benevolent and righteous.

It's just that in this way, the military affairs on the front line of Xihe Road are all pressed on Lin Zhao alone!

However, Zhao Ji is not worried, although Lin Zhao is young, his ability is there, and the victory in the first battle in Hezhou is completely from his handwriting. As for loyalty, they are treated the same as Wang Shao, and they are all their own henchmen!

No one questioned the talents of Yunlu General Lin Zhao, which was obvious to all. However, the battle on Xihe Road is so important, a young man in his twenties is still surprising and a little worried. But the officials don't care, so it's not easy for others to say anything.

As a result, the position of the envoy of Xihe Road fell to Lin Zhao. Because Wang Shao left, Huanqing Road was temporarily unattended, and it was too late to send others there. Moreover, as long as Mrs. Wang's condition is stable, Wang Shao will return after a while, and it is not appropriate to send someone else, so she has to wronged Lin Zhao and concurrently.

In this way, the military affairs of Huanqing Road, Xihe Road, and even Qinfeng Road all fell into the hands of Lin Zhao!

Because it is only temporary, no one thinks that General Lin is too high-powered. On the contrary, there are many who find it a chore!

After all, Hezhou was not completely pacified, Hehuang was about to move, and Western Xia was not at peace. If there is a slight problem on the Northwest Front, Lin Zhao will not be able to escape responsibility!

It looks like a beautiful scenery, but in fact it is thankless!

The news quickly spread to the Northwest Front, and at this time he returned to Beijing to report on his work? Wang Shao also felt very abrupt, and the imperial court was too anxious about the celebration of Hezhou's victory in the first battle? At least in the eyes of the steady Wang Shao, it is true!

It is possible that Mu Zheng will continue to make waves, Hehuang Tubo does not know when to make a move, and whether the Xixia people will make small moves, these are unknown, how can they leave Hehuang with confidence?

It's just that the military order is difficult to disobey, and the emperor's holy decree has come, and it cannot be disobeyed. The celebration in Bianjing was also prepared, and it seemed inappropriate not to participate, after all, it was an absolute moment of glory. As a courtier, who doesn't want to go down in history and be honored at such a time?

The most important thing is the news that Mrs. Wang is sick, Wang Shao is a filial son, and he has not returned home in the past few years, where can he fulfill his filial piety. Now that my mother is sick, if she doesn't go back, she will be a son of man in vain. Especially when the elderly are old, if they can't afford to be sick, and then there are three long and two short, then it will be ......

If you want to raise a child but don't treat your family, that's the biggest tragedy in life!

Therefore, as soon as he received the news, Wang Shao was worried. A combination of several aspects, Bianjing must go back. (To be continued.)
