On this issue, there were different voices in the court, some people thought that Gao Huaiyuan and others who led the troops this time had just been rewarded, and there was no need to give more rewards, not to mention that now Gao Huaiyuan's promotion speed was fast enough, and it was already quite good to award him a four-grade martial arts position at such a young age, and if he was promoted again, it would inevitably make Gao Huaiyuan and these generals arrogant.

And the other opinion is that they must be rewarded greatly, just the battle of Hongjie Mountain, they were rewarded, if the defeat of Huzhou to destroy the rebels such a great merit, but no longer give a reward, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, so not only to reward, but also to reward the heavy reward.

So there was a debate in the court because of the reward and the non-reward, and the party that supported the heavy reward must be the people from the royalist side, and it was Zhao Yun and Zheng Qingzhi who were strongly advocating, and the people who opposed the heavy reward were the people on Shi Miyuan's side, Shi Miyuan had always been blind to the generals, so his subordinates felt that it was not easy to reward again.

And Shi Miyuan undoubtedly became the key person in deciding this matter, he stood quietly in front of the court, drooping his eyelids, and let the ministers in the court quarrel over this matter, until everyone had quarreled enough, then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Yun who was sitting behind the dragon case, and saw Zhao Yun staring at the ministers who opposed the heavy reward of Gao Huaiyuan with an angry face, and his heart moved, he knew that Gao Huaiyuan was the young friend of Zhao Yun today, and Zhao Yun must be a strong advocate of rewarding Gao Huaiyuan in this matter, if he refused to agree, which is equivalent to directly refuting Zhao Yun's face.

And the current domestic situation can be said to have not reached a very stable level, Zhao Hong is not arrested for a day, this crisis will not be over for a day, if he does not stand with Zhao Yun in this matter, he will inevitably be accused of deliberately suppressing the people around the emperor, and since this matter has started, sooner or later it will be known by those generals.

If he doesn't agree, the generals will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and then the generals in the army will fall to Zhao Yun's side, which is not a good thing for him, and it will also push Gao Huaiyuan away from his side, so that the military will stand on the side of Emperor Zhao Yun.

The bigger problem is that if he doesn't agree to reward these generals this time, if King Ji makes trouble somewhere, he still has to rely on the military to come forward to suppress it, and then the military will refuse to sell his life because of this matter, or simply fall to Zhao Hong's side, then it will be a big deal.

So after Shi Miyuan coughed, he came out of class with the wat board in his hands in both hands and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Gao led the troops to destroy the rebellion so quickly, it is a great achievement, and it cannot be rewarded, so in the opinion of the minister, he should give a heavy reward to serve the public, and only then can the soldiers in the army praise and be grateful to His Majesty!" ”

After Shi Miyuan's words, those ministers who did not agree to reward Gao Huaiyuan and these soldiers obediently shut their mouths, since Shi Miyuan was willing to give them a heavy reward, he had his own ideas, and even Shi Miyuan agreed to this matter, and they were still against it! So this dispute came to an end, and all that remained was to discuss what rewards to give to Gao Huaiyuan and the others.

This was also the first victory for Zhao Yun's side in the court, so Zhao Yun was immediately overjoyed and announced his retreat from the dynasty, leaving only Shi Miyuan and some ministers of the Privy Council and Zheng Qingzhi and others to discuss the matter.

It's still easy for others to say, but it's really a bit troublesome for Gao Huaiyuan's promotion, although Gao Huaiyuan has made great military achievements this time, but after all, he is only in his twenties, and his age is a little inconvenient.

Originally, according to Zhao Yun's opinion, Gao Huaiyuan was directly appointed as the commander of the palace, and this time the change of Xiachuan, the original commander of the palace Xia Zhen can be said to have an unshirkable responsibility, if it were not for the two armies under his command to support Zhao Hong's ascension to the throne and claim the emperor, the first time to find out about this matter and take down Zhao Hong and others, it would not have caused such a big mess, so for Xia Zhen, his fate has been decided, with this discussion, everyone also agreed to remove Xia Zhen from the position of commander in front of the palace, demoted him to Jinghu South Road as a petty officer of a local garrison, which can be regarded as Shi Miyuan saving him some face.

But the problem is that Gao Huaiyuan no matter what, the qualifications are still too shallow, the commander in front of the palace is an official from the second grade, Gao Huaiyuan has soared too fast in the past two years, it took him two or three years to finish the seventh grade to the fourth grade, and it may not be possible to finish it in decades on the body of ordinary people, and now he jumps directly from the fourth grade to the second grade, which obviously makes everyone feel a little inappropriate.

Shi Miyuan didn't have much opinion on Gao Huaiyuan's position to take over Xia Zhen, because Gao Huaiyuan had done things in recent years, which made him really feel at ease, and he was also a rare general, for the defense of the land of Gyeonggi, there were really not many people who were more suitable than him, and finally discussed for a long time, Shi Miyuan put forward an opinion, and promoted Huaiyuan to the position of general from the third grade Yunlu, leading the hussar guards, and the former division of the Quanzhi Palace. Such things were more common in the Song Dynasty, so it can be justified.

Although Zhao Yun was a little dissatisfied with Shi Miyuan's proposal, he felt reasonable when he thought about it, so he agreed to such an arrangement.

As for the generals who went out with Gao Huaiyuan this time, they were also rewarded for their merits and deeds, and each had a share of rewards, so that a large number of people in the Holy Protector Army under Gao Huaiyuan were promoted, and at the same time, they once again took out a lot of silver money to reward the soldiers who went on the expedition, and those who went out with the army were rewarded to some extent, which was very rare and relaxed in the military operations of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't have the heart to care about how to argue about his promotion in the court, after he took Huzhou City, he pounced on the matter of arresting King Ji, but he didn't think that after King Ji fled on the night of the city's break, it was like the world evaporated, Gao Huaiyuan sent a large number of soldiers and horses, and repeatedly cleaned up in Taihu Lake, although he wiped out several rebels composed of deserters, but King Ji was nowhere to be seen.

So he sent troops again, like a comb to comb through all the villages around Taihu Lake, but still failed to find the shadow of King Ji, which made him feel quite depressed, speaking of which he has already destroyed the rebellion of King Ji, and most of the people involved in the rebellion were killed or arrested, but as the first evil King Ji escaped through the net, this time the counterinsurgency battle is not a complete achievement, there are always some fly in the ointment, and the escape of King Ji has also laid a disaster for the future, becoming a bomb that may be detonated at any time, It makes people always feel uncomfortable like a thorn in their hearts.

King Ji's escape is not a good thing, but on the good side, he left a little clever, and as soon as Huzhou was broken, he let his most trusted person lead the guards to control King Ji's residence in Huzhou and the state government and other places, and then he personally participated in a carpet search of these places, not letting go of any clues.

In this way, in the residence of King Ji and the state office, a lot of letters and documents were found, he did not immediately submit these things, but hid them privately, because when he casually went through some of these documents, he actually found a lot of letters between the magistrates and even the officials in the Beijing Division and the King of Ji, once these things were exposed, these people's careers would be completely finished, but Gao Huaiyuan did not do this, the first time, he saw some huge opportunities from these things, Immediately combed through these letters overnight, picked out some of them, got a small box and put them up, and handed them over to Li Ruohu for safekeeping.

As for the remaining inconsequential letters, he sorted them out and presented them to the prisoner surnamed Zhong, who was to deal with them.

The army stayed in Huzhou for nearly a month, during this time, Gao Huaiyuan on the one hand was constantly sending troops to search for King Ji, on the other hand, after he got the imperial court again, he used the power in his hands to rebuild the left and right armies of the palace in Huzhou and Xinghua, and replaced the main officers of the two armies with his people, so that the number of soldiers and horses he could control reached the strength of three armies.

At the same time, he is also paying close attention to the movements of Li Quan's army, this time Li Quan sent troops to support King Ji's rebellion, although in the end the elite army he sent was exhausted, but Li Quan's behavior can be said to be unforgivable, but the strange thing is that Li Quan sent troops to infiltrate Huzhou, although the army pressed the border, a large number of soldiers and horses were stationed in the north of Taizhou, but until the Huzhou rebellion was pacified, Li Quan did not send troops to attack Taizhou, Yangzhou and other places, and waved his army south to seize the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This made Gao Huaiyuan very incomprehensible, with his thoughts, if Li Quan took the opportunity to raise troops to make a rebellion and wave his army south, after he put down the Huzhou Rebellion, he immediately asked for orders to go north to Zhenjiang Mansion in person, took the opportunity to seize the military power of Zhenjiang Mansion, and led the troops to completely solve Li Quan's problem.

But he didn't think that Li Quan would not move his troops later, which made him lose his mouth and lead his troops north, so he could only stay in Huzhou in the name of searching for King Ji, and did not return to Beijing for the time being.

Through his intelligence network, Gao Huaiyuan after a period of time in Huzhou, finally figured out Li Quan's approach, it turned out that Li Quan was really cunning, although his brain was hot, he sent soldiers and horses to support King Ji to come to power, but after thinking about it, he began to hesitate again, he felt that although King Ji was in rebellion, but in terms of strength and etiquette, it was not superior, the vast majority of people in the Southern Song Dynasty were still orthodox in the Lin'an court, and it can be said that it is still unknown to what extent King Ji can do.

Once he followed the agreement, as soon as the Shangyuan Festival passed, he sent troops to attack Taizhou, Yangzhou and other places, and went south to attack the Song Dynasty, but King Ji failed to set off a split civil war in the Southern Song Dynasty in a short period of time.
