Chapter 239: Reward in the court

In the midst of everyone's different thoughts, Zhang Maoze's voice was not interrupted in the slightest, and he continued to talk about Su Shizhen's dispatch of troops to Changping.

Among them, Meng Youde also introduced Xiao Xiaoyou, the general of the Liao State, in order to lead Su Shi to the hook, deliberately used Liu Liufu's tomb as a guide to lead him to be fooled.

Su Shi came up with a plan, how to use the loopholes in this trap to complete what everyone thought was impossible, and finally captured Changping and burned many materials of the Liao army.

Su Shi really didn't want his life to go to Changping, and he captured it by mistake and burned everything.

"Okay, okay." As the prime minister of the court, Li Di finally couldn't help but speak out again when he heard this.

This applause shifted everyone's attraction, and then more and more applause was heard, and the atmosphere of the hall became lively and even a little celebrating at this moment.

Zhao Zhen's face was also extremely ruddy at this moment. The breach of Changping City represents a heavy loss of Liao's military strength, so there is no need to worry about them being unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time.

In other words, Su Shi's move secured complete peace for at least two years or so for the Northern Peace of the Great Song Dynasty.

That's definitely a big deal. Zhang Mao was not affected by everyone, he would not pay attention to what kind of performance the courtiers would have, what he needed to pay attention to was whether the tasks given to him by the official family could be completed well.

So his voice is still continuing, talking about Su Shi's capture of Changping, which finally angered the Liao army, Xiao Xiaoyou was even more angry, mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and intercept it, and had no choice but to return to the Great Song Dynasty Tongzhilang Su Shi had to move to the north of the Liao Territory and return in search of opportunities.

In fact, the Liao State did not send hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Sushi, but there were 100,000 troops. It's just that Meng Youde has already surrendered to Su Shi, of course, he has to say good things for the master, of course, the more the number of troops is, the more shocking it is, and the more it will make people feel that Su Shi is not easy.

"Gee, that's good." Hearing this, the ministers here quickly put away their joyful appearances just now and became worried.

Some of them are genuine, while others are pretending. Even if Su Shi has become a hero, they always have to have an attitude, right?

As courtiers, they care about heroes, and obviously they are also heroes. This truth will not be ununderstood by no one.

Even if some people are a little jealous and jealous in their hearts at this time, but when they don't know if Su Shi can return to the Song Realm, it is too early to show a look of envy at this time.

At the end of the book, Meng Youde talked about his helplessness to separate from Tong Zhilang, and when he came back to deliver the message, he also brought a proposal from Tong Zhilang, that is, with the Liao army besieging him and insufficient military resources, is it possible to consider the Song army going north and taking the opportunity to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

When Zhang Mao finally recited: "The acting commander of the Northern Secret Spy Division makes Meng Youde respectful", his voice finally stopped, closed the book, took a small step back, and stood by Zhao Zhen's side again.

After reading the book, everyone finally knew what was going on, and then one by one they became familiar with each other.

Su Shi actually asked the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to attack the Liao State, and before that, everyone was not psychologically prepared.

Now what they have to do is think about it, and what is at stake is this. There is also the question of whether it is feasible to send troops now.

It stands to reason that Su Shi has done so many things, if the Song army sends troops, it has a natural advantage, if it really makes up its mind and sends heavy troops, it is not impossible to really recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.

But it's only possible, not 100% certain. And if you really do this, the first gong will undoubtedly be Su Shi's, which really makes everyone a little unhappy.

To use a simple analogy, in reality, a person is much stronger than the other, then he will only get the blessing of others if he does anything successful.

On the other hand, if one person is only a little better than another, or even inferior to others, and this person is still successful, then what he receives is not blessing, but only jealousy.

Words like luck or just luck are going to come up. looks down on it in their bones, and everyone naturally doesn't want to work hard to make wedding dresses for others.

Even if you want to do it, you have to do it for those who are stronger than yourself, what kind of thing is a little Tong Zhilang of you Su Shi?

Such thoughts exist in the hearts of some people with the heart of a villain. There are also some people who think about the overall situation, just like Fan Zhongyan, who is implementing a new policy.

Under the good situation of the outside world, the implementation of the New Deal is much faster than expected, which is what many New Deal promoters are happy to see.

But if they send troops to Liao now, the new deal will have to stop, which they absolutely don't want to see.

Even if they know that it is a good time to send troops to attack Liao, in the eyes of Fan Zhongyan and others, it is still not worth sacrificing the New Deal to do these things.

Under their own thoughts, no one spoke. Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw that the hall was quiet like this.

What a good opportunity to take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, but it had to be delayed because of the implementation of the new policy.

Anyway, as long as the new deal is completed, the Great Song Dynasty will become stronger, and it will be feasible to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun at that time.

With such self-comfort in his heart, Zhao Zhen decided not to mention the matter of the army's invasion of Liao. It's just that Su Shi has such a great merit, and it is absolutely impossible not to reward it, otherwise, the courtiers below will not reward themselves for being too unsatisfactory when they see the merits?

"Zhong Aiqing, Su Tianyou risked his life to make such a contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, so let's discuss how to reward him." Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, did not mention the matter of soldiers, only talked about rewards, which made many courtiers breathe a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, they also felt a little pity, as for what the reason was a pity, everyone knew it.

Su Shi has been in Liaojing for more than half a year, and his merits should indeed be rewarded. What's more, under such harsh conditions and environment, it is still unknown whether Su Shi can return to the Great Song Dynasty, and even so, he can't be stingy.

Thinking that the reward was likely to be given to the dead, no one objected, but they were all thinking about how to give the best reward.

In the crowd, Pang Ji's eyes quickly turned. He usually has a close relationship with Su Shi, and he has also gained a lot of benefits from it, which is a well-known thing.

Now that it is related to the issue of Su Shi's reward, of course he can't help but say a word, otherwise, wouldn't other people say that he is ruthless and unrighteous when he sees it?

On the contrary, once the news of the matter of giving Su Shi a thick seal is spread, other people will say that they are righteous enough, and they will give people the illusion that there is meat to eat with a huge number of people, which is a good reputation that cannot be bought for thousands of dollars.

Thinking like this, I was a little excited, and while others were still thinking, Pang Ji was the first to stand up with a board in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Tong Zhilang has made a lot of contributions, and the minister thinks that he should be rewarded, the post of Shaofu has been vacant for a long time, and with Su Tianyou's ability, he should be competent." Shaofu, who manages the private wealth and life affairs of the royal family, from the official position of the fourth grade.

Although the rank is not very high, they are often people trusted by the emperor, and those who can hold this position also need to have a certain amount of financial ability.

There was no one in this position before, all because Zhao Zhen was very poor and had very little money, so he didn't need to be taken care of by someone at all.

Now after Pang Ji's reminder, everyone feels that this is really a position tailored for Su Shi.

First, Su Shi's ability to make money is absolutely first-class, which can be seen from the fact that he is no longer in Bianliang, but his subordinates will also send taxes to the three envoys every month.

Presumably, with Su Shi, the royal treasury will not be short of money. Second, the position of the Shaofu does not belong to the list of important ministers, and even entering the court is possible or not.

This position will have no effect on others, nor will it conflict with the interests and authority of others.

The only thing that is debatable is that Su Shi is only fifteen years old, and it is really a bit appalling that he is an official from the fourth grade at such an age.

But thinking about it on the other hand, Su Shi is still in the Liao realm, and he has to face the siege of the Liao army, whether he can come back is still unknown, and it is unknown whether this official position can really fall on his head.

It is really a great thing to be jealous of a person who is about to die, and those who originally wanted to raise objections have all closed their mouths and said nothing.

"Shaofu?" When Zhao Zhen heard this, he frowned slightly. He wanted to promote Su Shi, but he didn't want to mention it so quickly, because this Su Tianyou gave him the feeling that he could toss a little too much, and it was very likely that there would be problems with such a person rashly mentioning an important position.

But looking back, although the official rank of the Shaofu is from the fourth grade, the real power is really not very large, so it can't interfere in the government, and his face shows relief.

Su Shi's contribution to the construction is indeed not small. It is not too much to focus on promotion with this merit, even if this is the case, what is the harm in giving him an official position from the fourth grade, others will only say that they know the name of people and respect people, isn't it beautiful.

Zhao Zhen, who figured it out, nodded,

"Yes, that's a good idea. Zhong Aiqing, is there any doubt? Facing Zhao Zhen's inquiring gaze, all the ministers shook their heads one by one, obviously no one would stand up at this time to refute the official's face, which would not only make Zhao Zhen angry and spread out, but others would inevitably scold themselves for being too narrow-minded.

Dealing with a dying person, then what are you not small-minded? If everyone doesn't speak, it means that no one objects.

Zhao Zhen said conclusively: "Even if everyone agrees, the matter is decided, and the three books of the province will be recorded." This is tantamount to a public purpose, and it is no longer like the previous Tong Zhilang's loose official was only recognized by Zhao Zhen.

As soon as this sentence came out, many people were thinking in their hearts that Su Shi really had luck, if he could really return to the Great Song Dynasty alive, it was conceivable that the glory and wealth of his life could be expected.
