According to the good news, Wang Han, the transshipment envoy of Guangnan Road, led his troops to the border of Guangyuan Prefecture and stated to Nong Zongdan the benefits of living in harmony. In the end, Nong Zongdan's father and son surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty. And asked the imperial court to canonize Zongdan as a loyal general, and his son Nong Rixin served as a ...... for the third class, of course, things are certainly not so simple, but the official family thousands of miles away, as long as they know the result, as for the process, if they don't poke out the big basket, they can be ignored.

"Congratulations to the official." Chen Ke hurriedly presented his sycophants and said: "Guangnan has finally settled down!" ”

"yes, it's been five years, it's not easy." Zhao Zhen sighed: "It's also a three-happiness coming." ”

Chen Ke didn't know what Yixi was besides Dabi, but the official family didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask ......, and later learned that it turned out that Zhao Zhen had been recuperating for half a year, and recently finally opened a huā After a lapse of ten years, a woman in the palace finally got pregnant!

Perhaps, this is the real reason why the official family is more excited.

"However, I don't dare to say it......" Who knew that Zhao Zhen's words turned around, and he took out a secret report from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Ke.

This is still the report of Wang Han and Xiao Gu, only to see that the secret report wrote: 'Zong Dan said: The barbarian thief Nong Zhigao is still in Dali, and he has tried to go back and forth in Shu, and he has heard that he has married Dali, gathered the barbarian party, made weapons, and trained in battle, so he must not worry about the court. , is a piece of nong zongdan provided, the most important piece of information - that provoked the southeast chaos, almost became the second yuan hao nong zhigao, did not die, but led the remnants, fled to dali, and active activities, not only regained a foothold, but also established contact with the upper echelons of dali, began to actively prepare for another rebellion!

Chen Ke's first reaction was how wise Marshal Di was to be cautious back then, if he had regarded the corpse in the dragon robe as Nong Zhigao according to the wishes of others at that time, then he would have sat on wax now.

"It should not be taken lightly." Zhao Zhen nodded with a serious face and said: "The vitality of these Yidi is simply incredible, as long as they are given a little time, they can recover immediately, and they are stronger than the original." "This is the rise of Western Xia, which has taught the Zhao and Song dynasties a heavy lesson, and the officials naturally dare not underestimate it.

"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said, "The official family is right. ”

"It's just, why did Nong Zhigao go to Dali instead of Jiaozhi?" Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Ke and said: "You ministers didn't say why, Chen Aiqing is from Shu, and he has dealt with him, maybe he said a thing or two?" "Sichuan is next to Yunnan, and Qingshen County is in southern Sichuan, not far from Dali, and the official family is really asking the right person.

"Then Weichen will dare to talk about it." Chen Ke thought for a while and said: "Assuming that Nong Zongdan's information is true, then why didn't Nong Zhigao go to Jiaozhi, I think there are three reasons. The first is historical reasons, Nong Zhigao's father, Nong Quanfu, was killed by King Jiaozhi. The Jiaozhi people were ferocious and savage, and often had the idea of annexing Guangyuan Prefecture, and he was worried that he would borrow troops after the defeat of the army, and it would be difficult to ensure that he would not repeat his father's mistakes. ”

"And according to what Weichen heard in Guangnan that year, the Nong clan was called the 'Xiyuan Barbarian' Xiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, which was divided into 'Nong Cave, and' Huang Dong Nong Zhigao is the Huang Dong Nong people, in Guangyuan Prefecture, Guangxi, there is another Nong Dong Nong people, living in Fuzhou, Temo area, and its place is in Yunnan. Weichen estimates that the two tribes of this clan may be closer than imagined. And his fellow clans should have a certain status in Dali, otherwise it would be impossible for him to mingle with the upper echelons of Dali so quickly. ”

The official bowed his head and motioned for Chen Ke to continue.

"The second reason is the factor of Dali itself. Dali is located in the southwest border of our country, its territory is vast, and its strength is strong. And it's not a part of my Great Song Dynasty, it's an independent kingdom. Nong Zhigao defected to Dali to borrow troops, at least the imperial court could not directly intervene, and could not enter the country to pursue him casually, and his safety level was naturally thousands of times better than running to Jiaozhi to beg for mercy and risk being killed like his father Quanfu. "...," all three. In Weichen's view, the most important thing for Nong Zhigao at present is not to rebel again, but to stand firm. His biggest enemy is not the official army, after all, as long as he hides in the deep mountains and old forests, the court will not be able to help them, he is afraid of the Jiaozhi people who are also good at mountain warfare. And Dali has met with Jiaozhi soldiers many times. And its strong national strength is far from being comparable to Jiaozhi. Therefore, Nong Zhigao defected to Dali, and he could use the power of Dali to guard against Jiaozhi. ”

"To sum up, Weichen thinks that it is reasonable for Nong Zhigao to go to Dali, and there is nothing strange about it."

"Well said!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "You speak more thoroughly than the people in the Privy Council, and all of a sudden, it seems that your vision has broadened a lot!" ”

"It's because Weichen knows more about Dali." Chen Ke said humbly: "And the imperial court always has an attitude of rejection towards Dali, so not many people know about it. ”

"yes." Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Just after the widow was pro-government, Dali Guo also asked for canonization several times, but the previous ministers, in view of the lesson of 'Nanzhao against Tang, did not want to deal with this ungrateful country. As he spoke, he looked at Chen Ke and said, "What is their situation now?" ”

"With Weichen's understanding, it seems that they are diametrically opposed to Nanzhao." It was a matter of national policy, Chen Ke had to say cautiously: "However, Zhengchen is just hearsay, if you want to know whether the straw is sour or not, you have to taste it yourself." ”

"Not bad." Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Ke, and actually told him about military affairs, and said: "The meaning of your ministers is to mobilize a large army, attack from Liangchuan and Guangxi, and force Dali to hand over Nong Zhigao. ”

Chen Ke nodded, he ~~-Update~~ Talking on paper, it's okay to mention some references, if you really want to talk about military affairs, how dare you talk more?

"But there are many concerns about the widows." Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Last year, the country just suffered a disaster, and it was a time when the treasury was empty, the people were lacking, and they urgently needed to recuperate. If we raise troops and fight again, it will only make matters worse and cause the people to suffer. After a pause, he said: "Moreover, on the map of the widow, Dali is really not small, and I asked the Privy Council, its population, national strength, and strength should not be underestimated. What kind of mind are they? Will our persecution backfire, but instead make them firmly support the Nong bandits, or even directly raise troops to fight us? These are all things that have to be considered. ”

Fear of wolves in the front and tigers in the back is the biggest characteristic of the official Zhao Zhen.

"What does the official mean by saying this to Weichen?" Chen Kexin said, it seems that if I don't ask this, you can talk to me until dark.

"The widow wants to send loyal and capable people to Dali to find out, if they can turn the conflict into jade silk, make them hand over the bandits, and the court will always repair the good of the country, it will be very good." Zhao Zhen said slowly: "Even if it is not good, it can also provide intelligence for the use of force by the imperial court." ”

'Damn,, I really relied on ......, Chen Ke couldn't help but scold in his heart, grandma is a bear, and she almost felt like she was crying! But he forgot that the eternal benevolence is also the emperor, and the emperor's mind is naturally perfect. Fang just slapped himself and gave a banquet, clearly wanting to make himself like a stupid bird and go to the road of the mission with an uncertain future!

Chen Ke had no objection to the envoy, but the officials of the Song Dynasty in this era could regard the envoy as the most terrible errand. It is a kind of gap from a civilized society to a barbarian society, and you may be killed by barbarians at any time, and you will encounter bandits and miasma on the road. And it's a year and a half away, which affects the enjoyment of life!

Therefore, it is often not to be added to the rank of knight. If you can't hide, the whole family will cry, as if he will never come back. When the envoy returned, the whole family celebrated with a crown to celebrate that he had taken his life.

That's why the official family went around in such a big circle to discuss with Chen Ke and wanted to send him to Dali...... In the eyes of the benevolent Zhao Zhen, this is an inauthentic thing, but he feels that there is no better candidate than Chen Ke Chen. ..., "If the official family can be trusted, Wechen is willing to take on this important responsibility." "The layout of the official family can not be more sufficient, Chen Ke has to agree no matter what. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But my level is too low, please send another envoy." ”

"It's a matter of details, and we'll talk about it later." Seeing that Chen Ke was really duty-bound, Zhao Zhen smiled happily and said: "Besides, whether the ministers agree or not is still in the matter, you go back first and enjoy the glory of Jinshi and Di, and when there is a result, the widow will call you again." ”

"Whoa." Chen Ke, who was stunned by the officials, obediently retired.

Looking at his departing figure, the official smiled happily and said to Hu Yan: "This subject is enough for Chen Ke!" ”

Listening to the official's high evaluation of that kid, **Guan was speechless: "It turns out that the official family really likes him, and the old slave thinks it's ......." "I'm fooling a silly boy.

"There's no reason not to like him." Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything else, just say that Fang Cai's performance is right, how many people can answer in the Manchu Dynasty?" Not a single one! Saying that, he clenched his fists and said happily: "This is a genius from heaven in my dynasty!" ”

Soon, the official family set up the Jiying Palace, summoned Song Qi and Liu Chang in the hall, and determined the ranking of the top ten Jinshi in the end.

The official played with the ten green sticks in his hand, and said after a long time: "The order has to change." After speaking, he picked up the pen and rearranged the ranking of several people and handed them to the two of them.

The two took it and looked at it, and they were embarrassed: "Official, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

"The rules are all set by people, and there are officials who can be admitted to the Jinshi, and the ranking is only a few years? What about going one step further? Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "After the interview, the widow thinks that this sort is appropriate, so let's do it." ”
