(Zhao Ji is still young after all, and he also has a little vanity.)

In the matter of fighting against the Western Xia, his "grandfather" Emperor Renzong did not achieve much, most of the time it was mainly defeated, and the main defensive position was also at that time to acquiesce to the transcendent existence of the Western Xia, and even allowed Li Yuanhao to occupy the land of the Song Dynasty, which is also a stain in the history of his rule

As for his father, Emperor Yingzong, he reigned for only four years, and he didn't have time to make any great achievements, and for decades, Western Xia has been the confidant of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has always been very disgraceful

Through this campaign, he can show that he is better than the previous king, more in line with the characteristics of the lord of Zhongxing, and can also leave a lot of beautiful words in the annals of history in the future, but Zhao Ji has always had the ambition to be a big and promising king, and it is also one of his dreams to restore the old territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties

This battle against Western Xia is a good start, if you take this opportunity to continue to expand the results, then ...... That would be a great feat, and it couldn't be said in the same day, so Zhao Ji didn't want to stop there, but there were some, if there was any mistake in sending troops, but it would be a failure, that would be it......

On the one hand, Zhao Ji wanted to maintain the existing achievements, and on the other hand, he wanted to expand the results of the battle, and a series of wishes and worries were intertwined, which made him quite entangled, and the joy of stability in the northwest was completely diluted

A person can't make a decision, then ask the courtiers about the meaning of the court, there will be no results, several times experience tells him that the final result is still a dispute, so you can only ask the opinions of the important ministers, such as Zai, such as Hanlin Bachelor, such as the six books

Wang Anshi and Zhao Ji have the same contradictions, on the issue of territory, he has always advocated the restoration of the old territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, is ambitious, and now the Song army has won a complete victory in the northwest, the momentum is good, and the pursuit of victory seems to be a very good choice, but...... Wang Xianggong also had concerns, he was not suffering from gains and losses like Zhao Ji, but thinking about whether he could support this war and what he was not sure of, and he didn't dare to do it easily

Moreover, the change of the law is a critical time, and at this time, the attention of the court is all focused on the war, and the change is easy to be ignored, and it will also be greatly affected, which is not something he can see, so it is also a little difficult

As for the Hanlin Scholars, they didn't have so much selfishness, but they just suggested that the emperor prepare with both hands, ensure the basic interests, and strive to maximize the benefits

For example, Sima Guang said a very practical sentence: "Although the border work is good, it is better to take into account the domestic and Liao reactions."

How could Liaoguo not react? Although the Western Xia repeated it several times, the Liao people finally looked at the face of the past to help, and in the final analysis, it was a matter of interests, and the Liao State did not want to see the Song Dynasty too strong and beat the Western Xia too badly, after all, the existence of the Western Xia was to help them divide their strength and contain the Song Dynasty

It was precisely because of this consideration that another exercise was conducted outside Youzhou in Nanjing, Liao, and the scale was larger than the previous one, and the hypothetical enemy was naturally the Song Dynasty

Under such circumstances, the Great Song Dynasty naturally had pressure Zhao Ji was helpless, and after consulting many courtiers, he wanted a compromise between the two worlds

The surrender of Western Xia, accept!

Negotiations can also begin, but the conditions must be very harsh, and the attitude should naturally be domineering, and the conditions put forward are best the kind that the Western Xia is difficult to agree to for a while, the purpose is to delay the time and then make a decision according to the situation in all aspects, whether to send troops to attack, or to push the boat down the river and agree to peace talks

"Let's do it!" Reality is forced on the one hand, and Zhao Ji's performance has never been so decisive

"Yes!"

The prime ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, their confidence and confidence are not very sufficient, but the little success that was not easy to get was in vain This time fortunately, there is Lin Zhao, this son is really powerful, the first peace talks on the document to help the Song Dynasty save five years of money, this is a lot of money, but also set the tone for future peace talks

After the Western Xia turned his face, he immediately sent troops, and fought very beautifully in the northwest This battle alone can make many generals of the Song Dynasty embarrassed, Lin Dongyang is strategic, and the Privy Council even regards Lin Zhao as the seed commander, and will be the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty military in the future

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, Lin Zhao made a great contribution to the peace treaty that affirmed the capture of Liang Yi in Dashun City, which did not damage the prestige of the country, and now grabbed the land of a state, this credit is not trivial, and it is inevitable to say that the reward for meritorious deeds is inevitable, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the courtiers and soldiers

But how do you get a reward?

Ordinary generals are good to say, according to the size of the merit reward, promotion and wealth is just to be promoted, such as the seed of the master Liu Changzuo folded Kexing, Wang Shao and others have been rewarded, and some people are still triple jump, for example, Liu Changzuo was directly promoted to the third level, from a non-mainstream commander to a famous general, and the future was bright in an instant

Liu Changzuo knew who gave him this credit and future, and he was full of gratitude to Lin Zhao in his heart, thinking about when he must repay the favor

The family also glorified the court because of this battle, and lived up to the name of the famous general's family, and several juniors also benefited a lot from it, plus the seed master Dao and Lin Zhaoyi married Jin Lan, the relationship between the two families is naturally extraordinary, and now it has taken a step further

As for the folding family, it is not a problem but Lin Zhao's reward is a little troublesome, and Emperor Zhao Ji is discussing with you fairly

Since ancient times, Lin Zhao, who has been rewarded for meritorious deeds, has been rewarded with titles, rewarded with money, and has also been promoted, but now he is only in his early twenties, and he is already a squire in the military department

As for money, Lin Zhao saved millions of money for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a problem to reward more, but if it is just so, it seems to be a little too cold, and the only way is to be promoted to the title, Lin Zhao is already a marquis, and he is a prince above, but what is the seal?

It stands to reason that the work of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, and even the king can be crowned, but the Great Song Dynasty has strict control over the princes, except for the clan surnamed Zhao, there are very few kings with different surnames, and the founding general Cao Bin is only posthumously crowned as the king, but it is not an exaggeration to seal the prince, the first merit of opening up the territory in a hundred years, the significance is naturally extraordinary

But Lin Zhao is still very young, if he is crowned a prince now, what merit will he make in the future, and what should he be rewarded? There is no reward but death, this is a very dangerous thing, and it is also embarrassing for the king, so Zhao Ji categorically will not allow such a situation to occur, and there must be room for it

Moreover, Lin Zhao is too young, and if the title is too high, it is easy to cause criticism from others, so that other meritorious families are not satisfied, you must know that the veteran of the Three Dynasties, who has served as the prime minister for many years, was only named Zheng Guogong last year, and he is too young, and the title is too high, and he himself is easy to be arrogant and arrogant, which is not good for him or the Great Song Dynasty

"Your Majesty, it's already very good to be named a marquis, Lin Dongyang is still young after all"

"Well, then let's be named Marquis of Weiyuan!" Zhao Ji nodded in agreement, there are many young marquis in the Great Song Dynasty, but almost all of them inherit their father's titles, like Lin Zhao, he has fought the battlefield to achieve the title of high-ranking officials, and this alone is enough to laugh at the Great Song Dynasty

Because the matter of the reward has to be handled by the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Zongyi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is qualified to participate in this matter, and now he is only one step away from Shangshu, and he can have such an opportunity, thanks to Lin Zhao, so he has been waiting to find an opportunity to repay his kindness! At the same time, he also realized that Lin Zhao had a bright future, and a good relationship with him would be a beneficial investment in the future, and Zhang Zongyi was a shrewd person

Zhang Zongyi said: "Your Majesty, it's good to be a marquis, but a little more is added to show the court's commendation of meritorious heroes, as well as Your Majesty's imperial grace!" ”

"Add something?" Zhao Ji smiled and asked, "Add something?" How to add? ”

"Your Majesty, according to the etiquette, you can seal your son for merit and your father for merit!" Zhang Zongyi said: "However, I heard that Lin Zhao is an orphan, his father has passed away, and he has no heirs now, but he can be named a wife because of his merits!" ”

Zhao Ji immediately understood, and said with a smile: "You mean, to seal Lin Zhao's wife?" ”

"Yes, there is a precedent for the first emperors to do this!"

"That's not impossible!" Zhao Ji said: "Lin Zhao's wife Chai is from a famous family, so she will be crowned as the lady of the Sanpin Commandment, so that it will be more convenient for her to enter the palace to visit the Empress Dowager" Chai Minyan is deeply favored by the Empress Dowager, and it is a thing for all to see, plus she is the righteous daughter of the Cao family, which can be regarded as giving the Cao family a face

Zhang Zongyi's purpose was obviously not here, and he continued: "Your Majesty, Lin Zhao has three wives, and the two equal wives were given by the Empress Dowager for marriage. ”

This is true, Zhao Ji thought to himself, since he wants to be rewarded, then don't be stingy with Lin Zhao for such a grand courtesy, presumably he will be content in his heart and will be grateful to the emperor

Later, Zhe Wenxin was also named the fourth rank of Mrs. Fate, after all, the concubines are different, they must be slightly lower than Chai Minyan, and the two wives have the same status, Meng Ruoying naturally can't ignore the fact that she is pregnant, it is very likely that Lin Zhao's eldest son Meng was born in Shangjia nails, but he has also been rewarded by Emperor Taizong, there is a precedent, but it can be lifted

Therefore, in the end, it was decided that Lin Zhaojin was named the Marquis of Weiyuan, and the three ladies were also ordained, and their status and honor instantly improved a lot

The Lin family of Weiyuan Houfu has unlimited scenery in Bianjing for a time! (To be continued.)
