The next day, Deng She gathered his ministers and told the news of Luo Guannu's happiness.

As he expected, and as Wu Henian's judgment before, after Hong Jixun and the others heard the news, they were all congratulated, and they were all thoughtful. The "dispute over the establishment of concubines", which was temporarily suppressed due to Chahan's attack, is about to rise again because of this. Deng She didn't have a chance for them, and threw out the decisions made by the two last night one after another.

"The left and right Shilang of the province is the prefect of Yidu. Yan Zhixi, the prefect of Jinyidu, is a member of the provincial left and right divisions. ”

The reason for transferring Wu He to Yidu is: the war is over, Shandong is withering, and there is an urgent need for capable officials to come and reorganize the place. Wu Henian is the most suitable candidate for political Haidong with outstanding political achievements. The reason for changing Yan Zhixi to the provincial left and right division is that Haidong is a remote place and has never had a prosperous literary style. Yan Zhixi is a descendant of Yan Zimiao, and his transfer to the past has played a positive role in the development of local style of study.

Both of these reasons are irrefutable. Although some of the ministers vaguely guessed Deng She's intentions and saw the fundamental intention of transferring Wu He's year to Yidu, they were either because they had nothing to do with their own business, or they were happy to see it happen because they had a dislike for Hong Jixun, in short, no one objected.

"Slap in the face and give a sweet date." After these two decisions were passed, Dunshe threw out several subsequent personnel changes.

First, Liu Shimin, the prefect of Tai'an, was promoted to the province.

"'Gai Wen is not rewarded for meritorious service, and he is not punished for his crimes, although Tang and Yu cannot transform the world.'" Today, Liu Shimin, the prefect of Tai'an, in the first battle of Tai'an, personally braved the arrows, organized effectively, and had excellent courage. Moreover, he is not arrogant, gentle and good, and has the style of an ancient minister. Jinyidu is divided into provinces to participate in political affairs. ”

Second, Hong Jiyin was the prefect of Tai'an, and Li Lan was the prefect of Laizhou.

Liu Shimin and Hong Jixun have always been good friends and have close contacts. Li Lan is Hong Jixun's protégé. Hong Jiyin is Hong Jixun's brother. These three people can be regarded as the cadres of Hong Jixun's family. Deng She was entrusted with important tasks. Liu Shimin, in particular, has jumped into the ranks of provincial governors.

In this way, even though Hong Jixun was dissatisfied with Deng She's failure to say hello and suddenly attacked Hong Jiyin and Li Lan to leave, he had nothing to say. Speaking of which, it should be a good thing for Deng She to leave Hong Jiyin and Li Lan and give them officials, why is Hong Jixun still dissatisfied?

It must be known that Laizhou and Tai'an, the original prefect Liu Shimin's brothers, were originally officials of the Hong department. Deng She transferred Liu Shimin, and then took over as the prefects of these two places with Hong Jiyin and Li Lan, for Hong Jixun, his local influence did not expand.

Moreover, Hong Jiyin and Li Lan can become Hong Jixun's confidants, which shows that these two people are still somewhat capable. The official position of the prefect does not seem to be low, Hong and Li have never served as officials in Haidong, and they have been officials for one term, and they started so high, as if Deng She took good care of Hong Jixun. In fact, Hong Jixun believes that this is actually overkill. A local prefect, no matter how much power there is, far away from the center, what is the use of a person with lofty intentions like Hong Jixun? It is better to be an idle official in the province. At least when the court is discussing and discussing things, there can still be someone to help speak.

Moreover, Tai'an and Laizhou, one is on the front line, and the other is on the seaside. Laizhou is also a key tuntian area in Shandong. It can be expected that after Hong and Li took office, they will definitely be tired of political affairs. There is a saying: "It's good not to do well, do less to make fewer mistakes, and do more wrong." "No one is perfect, especially in places where government affairs are complicated, it is inevitable that mistakes will always be made. Once you make a mistake, you will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart, and the end will be worrying.

There are so many reasons, how can Hong Jixun be dissatisfied?

This time, 100,000 strong troops galloped on the Jiaodong Peninsula, ravaging back and forth several times, and the local officials in Shandong either died or surrendered, and there were many vacancies. Hong Jixun originally hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of the people in his entrainment and place them well. Who knows, before he could speak, even before rewarding the heroes, Deng She came first. On the surface, the grace is not ungenerous. Its essence is to block Hong Jixun's mouth in advance.

After listening to Deng She's orders about personnel transfers, the ministers under the hall, such as Ji Zongzhou, Yan Zhixi and others, all secretly gave a thumbs up.

Ji Zongzhou thought in his heart: "The emperor's mind is really unpredictable. A few appointments seem to be a favor to Hong Jixun. But if you think about it carefully, you can't help but be confused. I can't tell whether the lord trusts Lao Hong or is suspicious of Lao Hong. If today's appointment is linked to the attitude of the lord towards Hong Jixun at last night's banquet, it is even more cloudy. ”

He stood in the courtier's train, behind Hong Jixun, couldn't see Hong Jixun's expression, glanced at Yan Zhixi behind him, and couldn't help but think: "Old Yan is lucky." With a single order, it was easy and clever to ascend from the local area to the province. Went further to Pyongyang and avoided the whirlpool of right and wrong in Yidu. has a bright future, and he is a new upstart.

"......, these days, because I am too busy with official business, I have less contact with him. Stay in the evening, and in the name of congratulations, you need to go to his house to see. In any case, I am a colleague from Yidu, and I have a shallow foundation in the DPRK and China, so I must not break off relations with him again. ”

Ji Zong Zhou was thinking nonsense, heard Hong Jixun cough lightly twice, held the folding fan tightly, stepped out of the ranks, and said: "Brother Jiyin, his knowledge is shallow, and he really has no virtue. Now he is appreciated by the Lord, and he is not despicable, but he is drawn out of the white clothes, and he is entrusted with a prominent position, and he is in charge of the post of governor of a place. I am honestly afraid. Even so, you have a life and dare not resign. Only do your best to repay the king's kindness. Because Jiyin has no official status, he is not in the hall now. When the court meets tomorrow, the minister will order him to come and thank him in person. ”

"'You have a life, you dare not resign.'" ......, 'I will make him come and give thanks.' Ji Zongzhou shook his head secretly and thought, "Lao Hong is also Lao Hong, although he is talented, he can't be a man." Such words are clearly still dissatisfied. Even if you are dissatisfied, how can you complain in front of the lord in front of a full house of civil and military? Is this the way of a courtier? He quietly looked at Dunshe.

Deng She didn't care, and said with a smile: "If there is a brother, there must be a brother." I've heard of Jiyin's name for a long time, and although he is your younger brother, you don't need to be too modest. The virtuous do not avoid relatives, that is, this reason. ”

asked Hong Jixun to return to his shift, and he said to the ministers: "At the council the day before yesterday, it was decided that Wen Pingzhang and Li Du would be in charge of the merits of this battle. Wen Pingzhang, you hadn't entered the city yet. Now, I will officially entrust this task to you. You need to hurry. The New Year is coming soon, and strive to reward everything that should be rewarded before the New Year. After the war, the people's morale and morale are in urgent need of encouragement, so that everyone can be happy and have a good year. ”

At last night's banquet, Deng She was angry with Wen Huaguo. Wen Huaguo said: "Yes." ”

Deng She asked Monk Li again, "Tai'an Chen Dashuai and Taishan Gao Yonsei, how far are they from Yidu?" Didn't you say the day before yesterday that the estimated time should come today? Why is there still no news? ”

Monk Li said: "I was about to report to the lord to know." This morning, the minister received a military report from Shuai and General Gao. Because both of them suffered heavy losses, after the arrival of the troops receiving the defense, they recuperated in their original station for a few more days, and the road was not fast, and now they are still about fifty or sixty miles away from Yidu. It's been decided, and I'll arrive on time by noon tomorrow. ”

Deng She bowed his head, smiled, and said: "Chen Dashuai, Gao Yanshi, Li Zifan, and Pan Xianer have made great contributions in this battle. But I have something to do tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick them up in person. In this way, Wen Pingzhang, Marshal Zhang, Commander Li Du, Guo Qianhu, the four of you, go and pick it up for me. How is it? ”

Wen Huaguo, Zhang Ji'er, Li Monk, and Guo Conglong naturally had no objection and agreed.

Deng She clapped his hands, and four or five guards came in from outside the hall, holding several things, folded together, like flags. Deng She turned down the hall, took one personally, and motioned to Bi Qianniu to come up to help, and the two of them pulled it away one after the other. When they went to see it, they saw that it was written: "Destroying the Front."

Hong Jixun and everyone looked at each other, puzzled.

Deng She said with a smile: "Earlier, after I heard about the deeds of Tai'an Chen Dashuai sticking to the lonely city, I felt something, and I was touched by it, and gave him a military flag, called 'Naked Chen Yutou'. I have sent for him the flag. And Gao Yanshi and Li Zifan strangled the main roads of Tai'an and Jinan alone, avoiding the exchange of news between the two Tartars, and fought hard in the snow without retreating. Most of the 2,000 were killed or wounded, and only 500 survived. When you hear it, you can't help but be moved.

"I also heard that although Gao Yanshi faced a strong enemy, he was not afraid at all. Where there is a battle, that is, take the lead and charge into battle. Often with three or two hundred cavalry, the enemy formation of tens of thousands of people, charging into it, running through the left and right, galloping back and forth, as if entering a no-man's land. The reason why the enemy has repeatedly failed to succeed and has repeatedly fought and retreated is due to his strength. Although the Si people are young, they are just like the words of the Yidu people: today's Luo Shixin is also. Nor can it be unstrong.

"The triumph of the heroic master cannot be unrewarded. And the matter of rewarding the merit and knighthood, because the merit has not yet been calculated, cannot be carried out at the moment. Therefore, I am going to follow the example of giving Chen Dashuai the military flag, and give this 'Destroying Front' military flag to Gao Yanshi first. Let's talk about it first.

"Commander Li Du, you immediately send someone to send this flag to Gao Yanshi's army. When he came to Yidu, Xu made a big fanfare. With the color of the strong line. ”

Give this flag to Monk Li. Dunshe unfolded it again, and it read: "Camp Taishan." ”

He said: "Gao Yanshi and Li Zifan defended the key pass with 2,000 people, and their ability was not lost. The hostile crowd of 10,000 people is the stable support of Gao Yanshi, and the defense camp is as immovable as Mount Tai, and the merit is also remarkable. Li Du commanded the envoy, and this military flag was immediately sent to Li Zifan's army. When he comes to Yidu, he is also allowed to make a big show and strengthen the army! ”

He also handed over this flag to Monk Li. Then unfurl a third flag, which reads: "Longbow Battalion." Deng She asked, "Where is Zhang Xiao'er?" Zhang Ji'er came out of the queue and bowed down: "The minister is here." ”

Deng She said: "With thousands of people, you will first take Laizhou, and then break the enemy's ambush and rush to the aid of Yidu." In ten days, people did not disarm, did not stop, turned to fight hundreds of miles, won three battles and three victories, and killed no less than 3,000 Tartar captives. The power is also remarkable! The sharpness of the part is like a bow and arrow off the string, and it is out of control.

"Again, you have a lot of longbowmen in your army. This flag of the 'Longbow Battalion' is given to you. I hope that your department will continue to work hard in the future war, and don't fall into the name of the heroes of Guanbei! ”

Zhang Ji'er took the flag with both hands, was very excited, and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"Tomorrow, when you go to pick up Chen Dashuai and Gao Yanshi into the city, maybe you will raise this banner. Strengthen our army. ”

"Yes!"

"Where is Guo Conglong?"

Guo Conglong's official position was low, and he was not qualified to participate in the court meeting, so Deng She asked him to come. At this time, he heard the voice, knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general." ”

Deng She took another banner and unfurled it with Bi Qianniu. Compared with the previous flags, this flag is much simpler, there are no adjectives such as "destroying the front", "Mount Tai", "longbow", etc., there are only five words on it, and it is written concisely and clearly: "Haidong Guo Conglong." ”

Deng She didn't praise him much, but he personally handed him the flag, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wu Zi Mianzhi!" "Wuzi is Guo Conglong's nickname.

After the four military flags were given, there was only one left. Everyone thought: "Wen and Zhao have worked hard in this battle, and even Gao Yanshi and Li Zifan have been rewarded, and the two of them should not be without it." It's just that there is only one flag left, but I don't know who the lord intends to give it? ”

The organic spirit thought again, "Oh, that's not right. Looking at the order in which the lord gave the flags, Gao and Li did not talk about it for the time being, but only said that in the city, Zhang Xiao'er first and then Guo Conglong, it was clearly rewarded according to the level of the official position. Wen and Zhao, in terms of their grades, are still above Zhang Zhen'er. The rest of the flag, isn't it intended for the two of them? So, who does the lord want to give? ”

"Where is Fu Youde?"

At last night's banquet, Fu Youde officially voted for Haidong. That night, he moved out of the State Guest House, and Yan Zhixi arranged a temporary residence with him. Today's deliberations, Deng She also called him. It's just that because the appointment of the official position has not yet been issued, it is ranked last among the ministers.

He immediately went out of the ranks, and also knelt on the ground, and said, "The last will be." ”

"On that day, there was a breakthrough outside the city, and the night was dark and cloudy. The general rode a horse and single-handedly speared, seven in and seven out of the enemy line. Cutting the enemy will be like probing for things, and breaking the enemy base is like looking at the pattern with a backhand. Three or five Tartar generals were killed, and four or five Tartar camps were broken. The courage of the general makes those who come to the city to watch the battle like me, and their hearts are also excited. It is expected that the Tatar chieftain will definitely be broken. This flag is full of Haidong heroes, and non-generals can't get it. ”

The flag was unfurled, and two words: "Thunderbolt." ”
