Chapter 1358: Ling Hu Chong and Guo Jing
When Song Qingshu was excited, Chen Ziqiang, the prime minister on the side, smiled and said, "Childe, you still have to thank Han Xiang for this matter." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Seeing Song Qingshu's doubts, Wu Qian, who was on the side, explained: "Originally, the emperor only planned to crown a king of Langya County, but it was under the struggle of Han Xiang that the emperor decided to raise the prince. ”
Song Qingshu's eyebrows twitched, from the king of Langya County to the king of Qi, not to mention that it has increased a level, the title of the county king is lower than that of the prince, and there are two kinds of kings, one is named after the county, that is, the two-word king that ordinary people say, such as the king of Hailing, the king of Lanling, the king of Fufeng, etc.;
The four titles of "Jin, Qin, Qi, and Chu" are generally the most honorable, among which the "King of Jin" is the most respectful, because the country represented by these four titles is the most powerful in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, followed by "Zhou, Lu, Zhao, Wei, Liang, Yan, Dai, Han, Song, Wu, Yue" and other grades, the Song Dynasty because of its own reasons, the title of King of Song is specially reserved and will not be given to anyone.
Although the King of Qi is only the third prince, this title is already very high, and Song Qingshu's power territory is similar to that of the Qi State back then, and it is also the most suitable to be named the King of Qi.
Song Qingshu was very shocked at first that the Song court would be so generous, but his mind changed sharply, and he quickly analyzed the reason, the Southern Song Dynasty must have learned the lesson of the failure of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, you must know that the Han regime has always been very strict in the rules of the king, even if you make immortal achievements, you may not be able to get a prince.
However, those nomadic regimes obviously do not have so many rules, as long as it is beneficial to them, all kinds of princes seem to be sent out as if they don't want money, the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to capture the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty with tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers is to attract various warlords in the Ming Dynasty to defect through various favorable conditions, and fight the Han people with Han people, but those people in the Ming Dynasty court reacted very slowly, often burning their eyebrows, and they were still stingy about whether to reward the front-line commander with a word king or a two-word king.
The Song Dynasty also suffered a lot of similar losses, in the face of some warlords who surrendered to the enemy, as well as some rebels in the Central Plains, although the rewards provided to them by the imperial court were good, but they were far less than the various princes of Mongolia and Jin, resulting in many swinging forces being won by the enemy.
Now the power of the Golden Snake Battalion is very important, for Zhao Gou, who is reluctant to steal peace, the Golden Snake Battalion can be used as a barrier in the Southern Song Dynasty in the north, and he can enjoy peace in peace; if he is co-opted by the enemy country, he can sleep and eat at that time, because he has learned from the experience of the past, so this time he very generously rewarded the prince of the King of Qi, anyway, the army and forces are ready-made, and he only needs to provide a false name.
Although he thought about it clearly, he had to respond to the olive branch thrown by Han Yanxuan, Song Qingshu hurriedly thanked the other party, Han Yanxuan happily stroked his goatee, and although he was polite, he was extremely complacent in his eyes.
During the banquet, a group of people were staggering, and Han Yanxuan suddenly spoke: "Song Gongzi, oh no, it's time to call King Qi now." ”
Song Qingshu had a black line: "Han Xiang really tormented me, with our friendship, why should we be so identious, just call me Qingshu in the future." ”
Han Yanxuan, who was on Song Qingshu's "upper path", was obviously very satisfied: "Hahaha, since that's the case, I'm not welcome, but Qingshu, you don't have to be so angry with Han Xiang in the future, just call me a good person." ”
In this world, the words are very familiar and close to people can shout, Han Yanxuan obviously wants to get closer to the relationship between the two parties, Song Qingshu is naturally not stupid enough to refuse, and agreed with a little "excitement".
"Does Qingshu know about King Xin and King Fu of this dynasty?" asked Han Yanxuan.
Song Qingshu nodded: "Who doesn't know the prestige of King Xin and King Fu, they are the barrier to the west of this dynasty, when they defeated Jin Wushu in the west and stabilized their position, it can be said that the court can maintain half of the country's greatest hero......"
The reason why Song Qingshu praised the two of them like this was that he really admired these two heroes, and secondly, there were people from the Wu family at the same table, and it didn't cost anything to say something good, so why not win the favor of the Wu family easily?
Sure enough, Wu Qian and Wu Gong on the side showed excitement on their faces, Han Yanxuan glanced at the two of them, and introduced Song Qingshu with a smile: "Qingshu, they happen to be from the Wu family, Yifu (Wu Qian) is the younger brother of King Xin and King Fu, and Wu Gong is the son of King Fu." ”
"The Longgan Wu family is really talented, full of loyalty, admiration and admiration......," Song Qingshu said with admiration and admiration.
Song Qingshu's identity is there now, Wu Qian and Wu Gong suddenly felt very face-saving, and hurriedly returned the salute, and after chatting for a while, Song Qingshu suddenly said strangely: "By the way, why didn't you see the son of King Xin?"
Wu Qian and Wu Gong's faces changed slightly, and Han Yan smiled bitterly: "Qingshu, you don't know, the lineage of King Xin was inherited by his son-in-law Wu Ting, he served as the commander of the dragon and the four compartments of the Shenwei, but he died young, which caused some decline in this vein, but fortunately, there are successors, a while ago I was rescued by Wu Xi, the grandson of King Xin, Wu Tiande, sure enough, it is a tiger father without a dog, Wu Xi is not only strong in martial arts, but also extremely chivalrous, and then I recommended him to serve as a royal weapon, and the emperor also appreciates him very much. ”
Song Qingshu's heart moved, didn't the Wu Xi and Wu Tiande in their mouths be Ling Hu Chong pretending? Han Yanxuan didn't know Wu Tiande before, why couldn't the Wu family recognize him as a Xibei goods?
Despite the doubts in his heart, Song Qingshu still praised: "Brother Wu is indeed righteous and is an out-and-out gentleman. Different from many previous politeness, he praised it sincerely, after all, Ling Hu Chong deserves the name of a gentleman.
Wu Gong suddenly sighed: "Back then, my uncle and father successively guarded the land of Bashu, which was the western barrier of the imperial court, but it is a pity that our generation is not good, most of us have no ability, and we can't inherit the legacy of our fathers." ”
Chen Ziqiang comforted: "Why should the virtuous nephew be arrogant, the elite of this dynasty is all in the forbidden army, and the elite of the forbidden army is all in the three ya, the virtuous nephew is in charge of one of the three ya, the guard pro-army Ma Junsi, who is already very good for King Xin and King Fu. ”
Although the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty was the supreme leader of the military, the Privy Council only had the right to transfer troops, and did not have the right to train troops.
"My Tiande nephew, in terms of family background, qualifications, martial arts, and character, originally had a very good chance to serve as the commander of the four compartments of the Sun and Tianwu, but unfortunately someone got in the way and vetoed it at the last moment!" Wu Gong said hatefully.
In the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, Zhuri, Tianwu, Longwei, and Shenwei were called the four armies. Holding the sun is a cavalry army, and Tianwu is a foot army, all of which belong to the front division of the palace. The dragon guard belongs to the guard pro-army horse military division, and the god guard belongs to the guard pro-army infantry division, and each army is divided into left and right compartments, so the prefect of the sun and Tianwu is called the four-compartment festival envoy.
Song Qingshu's heart moved, and he began to drink quietly, these people sang and harmonized, obviously deliberately saying it to themselves, I don't know what their idea is.
Wu Qian comforted: "This is actually expected, the front division of the palace commanded Wang Ziteng, his two sisters, one married to Jia Rudao, and the other married to Xue Ji, everyone knows what faction he is, how can we let our people develop their forces into the front division of the palace." ”
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly in his heart, these people talked about the hostility with the Jia Nidao group in front of him, obviously thinking that they were people in the same boat, and now they don't want to listen to it, just like the so-called can't get on the boat.
Han Yanxuan said: "Tiande's failure to become the commander of the four compartments of the Sun and Tianwu is not necessarily a bad thing, but now there is a better opportunity." ”
"Jiefu refers to the Sichuan side?" Chen Ziqiang asked thoughtfully.
Song Qingshu's heart moved, and he disposed of the stumbling block of Wan Qiao, the previous contract between Han Yanzhou and Mongolia naturally came into effect again, and now the envoys of the two sides are communicating, and it will not be long before Sichuan will return to the embrace of the Song Dynasty again. You must know that the front in the west of the Southern Song Dynasty has retreated to the front line of Chongqing, and if Sichuan can be recaptured, there will be a danger of Jiange and Yangping, and the pressure on the west will drop by several levels in an instant. After Sichuan's return to the motherland, a large number of vacancies will inevitably appear, and this will become the focus of the game of forces on all sides.
"That's right," Han Yanxuan laughed loudly, "Jia Yidao is really too greedy, the front division of the palace doesn't want us to interfere, and Sichuan also wants to be included in the command, how can there be such a good thing." ”
Chen Ziqiang frowned and said: "But according to the information I have gotten, now the emperor has decided to send Cheng Song, a scholar of the Senior Administration Palace, to know Chengdu Mansion and serve as the envoy of Sichuan, Cheng Song's sister Cheng Miaojing is the wife of Lu Wende, the envoy of Jinghu, and Lu Wende is the descendant of Jia Yidao, so it is conceivable that Sichuan has also fallen under his control." ”
It is no wonder that Chen Ziqiang is so pessimistic, the system is an official position temporarily set up during the Southern Song Dynasty war, and the original intention was to be in charge of the war of one side, but in practice, often civil affairs and taxes will also be supervised, which can be described as a veritable local supreme official.
Han Yanxuan was not in a hurry, and said with an unfathomable smile: "Cheng Song is a talented person, he doesn't have the ability to really control Sichuan, I plan to nominate Tiande to be the commander of all the armies in Xingzhou before the imperial army, and concurrently serve as the pacification envoy of Xingzhou Zhizhou and Lizhou West Road, with the Wu family's many years of business in Sichuan, coupled with Tiande's ability, it is not difficult for Cheng Song to become the actual controller of Sichuan." ”
Wu Gong smiled bitterly: "Such an important position, it is impossible for Jia Yidao not to come and grab it, as far as I know, he has already recruited Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife under Lu Wende into Beijing, presumably planning to recommend Guo Jing to this position." ”
Wu Qian also looked worried: "This is troublesome, this Guo Jing has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people of the world, and at the same time, he is strong in martial arts and can lead troops to fight, Tiande has no advantage compared to him." ”
Han Yanxuan's gaze moved to Song Qingshu, who was watching his nose and nose on the side: "So this matter still depends on Qingshu's help." ”
