Chapter 102: Celestial Empire Figures
Jiangnan Jialidi, Jinling Imperial Prefecture,
With green water, Zhu Lou was handed up.
It was early winter, and Zhongshan was dyed with forests; The Qinhuai River is not alarmed, and the clear stream is rippling; Thousands of sails have passed on the banks of Egret Island, and the river is flowing; The majestic Jinling City is full of dragons and tigers, showing the Chinese atmosphere.
Jinling lecture martial arts hall, in the imperial study, Zhao Hong, the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, sits upright, and below is the envoy of the Eastern Liao, the guest and the host are happy, and they are happy.
To make Ding Ding famous, it was Yelu Yong'an, the younger brother of Yelu Xue Yan, the king of Liao, and his mother Yao Li.
And Yao Li is the actual controller of the land of Liaodong.
The Northern Expedition was completed, and the Han hometowns such as Lianghe and Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures returned to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Eastern Liao was no longer secretive.
"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the King of Liao is unwell. The old body and the young son are here, please don't be surprised by Your Majesty! ”
Yao Li saluted Zhao Hong, and she turned out to be a middle-aged lady with charm.
"Queen, do you know that my Great Song Dynasty is the rule of the king, and there is no such thing as a separation. If Eastern Liao is under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, the queen and your descendants will be rich and noble, but the Eastern Liao Kingdom will be gone. ”
Zhao Hong opened his mouth and said, unabashedly.
Mongolia is a feudal system, but the Great Song Dynasty is the same as the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, all of which are feudal unified dynasties.
"Your Majesty, the old body naturally knows. From now on, Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Great Song Dynasty. The old body came to Jinling City with his belongings, and the old body already liked it here and didn't plan to go back. The youngest son of the old body, Yelu Yongan, was just seventeen years old, and begged His Majesty to be kind and let him go to Jinling to study in the martial arts hall, learn some skills, and serve His Majesty! ”
Yao Lishi said softly, respectfully.
Zhao Hong was stunned for a moment and laughed.
This is a smart woman, judging the situation and being far-sighted, no wonder she can always control Liaodong and let Dongliao survive in the cracks.
"The queen led Dongliao to return, and I was very relieved. The queen and the king of Liao, I will not treat them badly. If the queen really likes Jinling, I will give you a house in Jinling, and give you money and food every year, so as to ensure that you are prosperous and wealthy, and you will have no worries for the rest of your life. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Yao Lishi pulled his young son to kneel, bowed to the ground with his head, and shouted long live from the mountain.
This is the purpose of this trip to Song Realm, and finally to achieve his wish.
With the thunderous power of the Great Song Dynasty border army, if the Eastern Liao were to be its enemy, in an instant, I am afraid that the country would be ruined.
Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty was in the world, but the Great Song Dynasty was so prosperous. Wenzhi martial arts really shocked her.
This may be the legendary Celestial Empire, a Chinese character.
"Queen, prince, get up, don't be formal."
Zhao Hong waited for the mother and son to get up, and then set his eyes on Yelu Yongan.
"Yelu Yongan, do you really want to enter the Jinling Martial Arts Hall?"
In exchange for some money, the return of the territory, the protection of the soldiers from bloodshed, the consumption of money and food by the country, and the ability to win the hearts and minds of the people, both politically and economically, are of great benefit.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are coming to the city, and all of them are elite warriors. I am willing to enter the Jinling Lecture Hall, learn a skill, and share worries for Your Majesty in the future! However, I want to be admitted to the martial arts hall by myself, and I don't want people to say that I rely on the gift of His Majesty. ”
Yelu Yongan said with a red face and secretly glanced at Zhao Hong.
"Very good and ambitious! Yelu Yongan, I give you the surname Zhao, and you can call yourself Zhao Yongan in the future. But I won't force you. Whether you choose Yelu Yongan or Zhao Yongan, it is your own right. You just need to remember to do more good things for the country and the people of the world. ”
Zhao Hong nodded appreciatively.
The Khitan people are very sinicized, and their cultural customs are no different from those of the Han people, especially the big families such as Yelu Yong'an, who are all excellent in poetry and songs. Yelu Yongan dared to take the martial arts exam by himself, which shows his self-confidence.
However, having said that, even if Yelu Yongan fails to pass the exam, he will let the lecture martial arts open up in order to win people's hearts.
Yelu Yongan was still ignorant, and Yao Li pulled his son and quickly knelt down again.
"Concubine, thank you for your name!"
This time, the "old body" became a "concubine", which shows that she is satisfied.
"Zhao Yongan, thank Your Majesty for the name!"
Yelu Yongan also kowtowed again and again, and he was sincerely afraid.
Yelu Yongan to Zhao Yongan is not just a change of surname, but a gift from the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. With this gift, you will benefit greatly in the future.
The mother and son thanked them and got up.
"The queen and the prince will go back to the post house to rest first, and if you have any needs, you can go directly to me. As for the king of Liao, who is unwell, I will send the imperial doctor north to treat the king of Liao. ”
Zhao Hong said softly, Yao Li's mother and son Xie En retreated, and Prime Minister Zhen Dexiu sighed.
"This woman is not simple! first sent a secret envoy, and then directly entered the court, and now even the family has moved here, think carefully, and make a decision immediately, we are not as good as men! ”
Zhen Dexiu's sigh made Zhao Hong nod slightly.
Women don't let their eyebrows be shaved, this Yao Lishi is like this.
"Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty Emperor has recovered the two rivers, and now Liaodong is under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty. Immediately win the world, but need to rule the world. In the opinion of the ministers, it is advisable to send officials to Lianghe, Shandong, and Liaodong to appease the people and implement the rule of the king. ”
Ruling Minister Zou Yinglong followed.
The Northern Expedition was like a bamboo, and the military occupation, but Wang Hua did not keep up.
Zhao Hong nodded slightly.
Lianghe and Shandong have suffered from many years of war, the people's livelihood has withered, and the people are poor.
The Mongol forces withdrew from the Central Plains, but what was left to him was a real mess.
"Officials were selected from all walks of life in the DPRK and the Great Song Dynasty, and then the students of this Jinling University Hall graduated ahead of schedule and were properly placed in Lianghe, Shandong, Liaodong and other places. Mobilize food from the southeast, and be sure to appease the people, and not a single person will starve to death. ”
Zhao Hong said thoughtfully.
The people of Lianghe and Shandong are scarce, and I am afraid that they will have to emigrate from the southeast next spring to enrich the population of the north.
"Your Majesty, the candidates for the chief officials of Lianghe and Shandong Liaodong, can Your Majesty have a decision?"
Prime Minister Jin Deok-so continued to ask.
"Adjust Shi Tianze as the pacification envoy of Henan Road, Du Fan as the pacification envoy of Shandong Road, Zhou Ping as the envoy of Hebei, Du Gao as the envoy of Liaodong, as for the ...... of Hedong Road"
Zhao Hong hesitated, shook his head and said:
"I originally planned to transfer Shi Songzhi as the envoy of Hedong and Hebei, this guy, alas, ......"
Shi Songzhi can be described as a cadre, but it is a pity that his body is not right, and he is bold, which wastes his hard work.
"Your Majesty, Hedong is an important place, and Song Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is in his prime, and he can be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so he can be appointed as the envoy of Hedong and share the worries of the imperial court."
Zhendexiu does not shy away from relatives and recommends his disciples.
Uncle Zhou Ping is the envoy of Hebei, which is already a certainty, and Hedong borders Mongolia, which needs a shrewd and capable follower. Song Ci is shrewd and capable, fair and honest, and is the best choice.
"True father, Song Ci has both talent and morality, but the criminal department can't do without him. I want Gao Dingzi to serve as the envoy of Hedong system, and Dong Huai takes over Gao Dingzi as the pacification envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road, what do you think? ”
Among the generals and ministers, Shi Tianze and Yelu Chucai are both capable people, but these two people, one is a famous left and right source, and the other has a good relationship with the Mongolian Great Khan Wo Kotai, and choosing these two people is tantamount to asking for hardship.
Shi Songzhi's mistake can't be made again.
All the ministers are the commanders. These people are all officials, all of them are young and strong, and they are more than enough to serve as the chief officials of the road.
The Great Song Dynasty recovered the two rivers, Shandong was already the mainland, and Shi Tianze was the pacification envoy of Shandong Road, and there was not much risk.
"Your Majesty, do you want to come in with Xuanyelu Chucai, Shi Tianze and other Mongolian ministers?"
Dong Songchen reported, and Zhao Hong nodded lightly.
"Let them in."
The three generals should give an explanation to a few people.
"Sinner Yelu Chucai, meet the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty!"
The three of Yelu Chucai came in, and Yelu Chucai spoke first.
"The criminal minister Shi Tianze (Yan Shi) pays a visit to the Great Song Emperor!"
Shi Tianze and Yan Shi followed to salute Emperor Zhao Hong of the Song Dynasty, and the two knelt down and kowtowed.
"Everyone, get even! Don't get down on your knees at every turn. Throne! ”
After the three of them sat down nervously, Zhao Hong continued:
"Mr. Yeru, this is the third time we've met. General Yan and General Shi were the first time. I am very happy to have a friend from afar. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Shi Tianze and Yan Shi were flattered and climbed up one after another.
The state of etiquette in the Great Song Dynasty, the reception etiquette, is really extraordinary.
"The demeanor of the Great Song Tianzi is still the same, and I am very pleased to be in the future."
Yelu Chucai followed, stood up, and sat down uneasily on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to restore the two rivers, and I want to discuss state affairs with you and seek the well-being of the people of the world, I don't know what you think?"
Zhao Hong was straightforward and clarified his intentions.
In this era, most people do not have the concept of a country and a nation, and they cannot be demanding.
"The minister is strict, and I am willing to serve His Majesty!"
"Minister Shi Tianze, I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"
Shi Tianze and Yan Shi went one after the other, and expressed their ambitions to Zhao Hong.
"Good!"
Zhao Hong thought for a moment, and then said:
"Yan Shi, you are from Shandong, so naturally you can't be an official in Shandong, this is the regulation of this dynasty. I appointed you as the pacification envoy of Huaidong, ran the place, and implemented the king. What do you think? ”
The two rivers were restored, Huaidong became the interior, and the system became a pacification envoy. Du Gao guarded Liaodong, and Huaidong pacified the envoys, but they were replaced by Yanshi.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yan Shi couldn't help but blush, knelt down subconsciously, and kowtowed again and again.
"Flatten! Your sons are all young and talented, and they can go to Jinling University Hall or Jinling Lecture Hall and other schools to further their studies, and they will all be pillars of the country in the future. When you get to the place, you just need to remember that you can serve as an official and benefit one party. ”
"The minister will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust!"
When he was in a trance, Zhao Hong looked at Shi Tianze, who was nervous, and continued:
"Shi Tianze, you are the same as Yan Shi, you are both officials. I appointed you as the pacification envoy of Henan Road, and govern the place well. The Central Plains has been poisoned by the Tatar army, and the burden on your shoulders is not light! ”
These people can stand out in troubled times, and their own ability is beyond doubt.
And this Shi Tianze, who seems to have been the civil affairs chief of Henan in history, and his political achievements in history seem to be good, so there is no reason not to give him a chance.
"The minister will do his best to thank His Majesty for his kindness!"
Shi Tianze knelt down to thank him, and his old face was secretly red.
Henan is ruined, and the Mongolian army is the first to take credit, and he also has a share of the credit.
"Flatten. Your mansion and land in Zhending Mansion will be retained, and your family will have the protection of the local government, and the children of the Shi family will be hired on the basis of merit. Go back and clean up, and take office in a few days. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shi Tianze received the order to thank him, stood up, and sat down with a red face.
The pacification envoy of Henan Road is much stronger than the Han army of ten thousand households who live in Zhending Mansion and are on call.
"Mr. Jerry, where are you going? Are you willing to join the court, or go to the local government to become an official? I will depend on you, and I will not force it! ”
Zhao Hong smiled kindly, Yelu Chucai no longer hesitated, and bowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! But driven by His Majesty, the minister will never give up! ”
has said all this, no matter how much he twists and turns, he just doesn't know what to do.
"In this case, Mr. Yelu, I want you to enter the court, worship as the governor of the government and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and lead the farmland of the world. What do you think? ”
For this bearded man who has saved millions of Han people in the world, he is worthy of his respect.
Yelu Chucai was still in a trance, Shi Tianze and Yan Shi bowed together, smiling.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Yelu Chucai reacted, quickly knelt down, and touched his head to the ground.
"Minister, Yelu Chucai, thank Your Majesty for your grace! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”
The Mongol Great Khan Ogedai reused him, but he was only a tax collector for the two rivers. The Great Song Dynasty has a vast territory, reaching overseas, and participates in the national policy of political affairs and management. There is a world of difference between the two.
Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng looked at each other, but they didn't say anything to stop them.
Of the four ruling ministers in the DPRK, except for him, Wei Liaoweng and Zou Yinglong, there has always been a lack of one. The emperor appointed Yelu Chucai, and it seemed that he had nothing to say.
"Mr. Yeru, get up."
Zhao Hong went down and personally helped up the beard with a red face.
"The restoration of the two rivers and the restoration of Henan, the first major event in this dynasty is to restore the livelihood of the two rivers and Henan, including the diversion of the Yellow River. Led by Mr. Yelu, officials from Henan, Shandong, and Hebei worked together to ensure that Henan and Lianghuai Shandong would no longer suffer from the flooding of the Yellow River. ”
Everyone was shocked and received the decree. Unexpectedly, he has not yet taken up his post, and he is already shouldering a heavy responsibility.
The restoration of the place, the diversion of the Yellow River, and the Song Emperor's plan is big, and all of them are thousands of achievements for the benefit of the country and the people, which is indeed convincing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all great talents, and you know the truth that people's livelihood is difficult. Let's work hard together and give the people of the world a prosperous world to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Zhao Hong'er mentioned his life. Solemnly confessed.
"Ministers, remember Your Majesty's teachings!"
The three of Yelu Chucai bowed together, and everyone was respectful.
The Great Song Dynasty has such a Son of Heaven who loves the people, this is a wise and martial figure of the Celestial Empire!
