Chapter 399 Return to Beijing
On the sixth day of the ninth month of Yuanyou, the eighth year of Yuanyou.
The Song, Xia and Liao reached a peace agreement. Judging from the results of the war and the final peace agreement, the Song Dynasty won a great victory, not only gaining the territory it had longed for in the past, but also expanding significantly to the northwest, and forcing the Li family of the Western Xia to bow their heads. The results and strategic results are unprecedented victories!
Qingzhou Prefecture Office.
Zhao Xu sat on the chair, standing under the hall, Zhang Yu and Guo Cheng, the others were still on the front line, busy with various arrangements, and it was difficult for them to come back for a while.
Zhao Xu looked at Guo Cheng, nodded with approval, and said with a smile: "Zhang Qing's family often tells me that the most knowledgeable person is Guo Cheng. The battle between Guo Qing's family and Xiacheng has indeed opened my eyes. The greatest contribution to this battle is the Qing's family!"
Guo Cheng was calm and did not get too surprised. He bowed and said, "I dare not be an official to praise you."
Zhao Xu smiled, becoming more and more satisfied, looked at Zhang Qing and said, "Guo Qing's family is the best in his merits. I want to be awarded the title. What do you think about Zhang Qing's family?"
Guo Cheng's expression changed suddenly, his expression was panicked, and it was difficult to calm down any longer.
The Song Dynasty had extremely strict control over military generals, and there were almost no titles!
Only civil officials have titles!
Zhang Feng was also very surprised. Thinking that Zhao Xu often mentioned the Qin and Han military system, there were various military marquises who spoke of him. After a little gesture to Guo Cheng, he bowed and said, "The official army reform has not been discussed by the court. All generals are outside. This matter needs to be discussed by the government."
Zhao Xu knew what these civil servants were thinking, narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "That's natural, tangerine peel, write it down first, so as not to forget it after returning to Beijing."
"Yes." Chenpi responded quickly.
Guo Cheng didn't know what to do for a moment. He wanted to be suddenly named a marquis, although it was the favor of the official family, I was afraid that civil officials inside and outside the city of Bianjing would swallow him alive!
Think about how much credit Di Qing made at the beginning and what would end up in the end?
Zhang Feng was calm and changed the topic and said, "Officials, Guo Cheng has arrived, Zong Ze cannot leave, Zhong Jianzhong will arrive tomorrow, I wonder when will he return to Beijing?"
Zhao Xu took a deep breath. At this point, the battle was completely over, and it was time for him to go back.
Zhao Xu tapped his hand on the table a few times, his eyes flashed slightly, and he slapped it suddenly, and said, "Ninth day of the ninth month!"
This is the time, it has been set long ago.
Zhang Qi raised his hand and said, "Yes, I will receive the order."
It is also a big event for the troops to return to the court. It is for Qingzhou and Shaanxi 6th Road, and for Kaifeng City!
Tangerine Pi bowed as well, and he also had to prepare.
Zhao Xu watched them leave one after another, sitting alone on a chair, looking out the door.
The battle is over, but it is another beginning!
Kaifeng City, what kind of plot is being performed now?
As the battle ended, Qingzhou City was operating more intensely.
Countless spoils began to be transported back to Beijing, and relevant personnel were also packing their luggage. The official road between Qingzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture suddenly became busy.
The Song army was very busy with all the newly occupied cities, planning new lines of defense, building cities, fortresses, and guarding the Xia people.
When it was early on the 9th day of the ninth month, Zhao Xu got on the carriage, escorted a large group of people, and began to leave Qingzhou City.
I don’t know how many soldiers and civilians followed along the way, shouting loudly, the sound was too noisy, one after another.
Aunt Li was also in the crowd, holding a jar and squeezing forward desperately, looking anxious: Why did he leave before the official's begging for the sauce?
Zhao Xu sat in the carriage, took care of his hair a little, and said to Chenpi next to him: "Give me instructions and walk slowly. If the weather is hot and overheated, find a place to escape the heat. We don't have to hurry to go."
Seeing that Zhao Xu was about to sleep, Chen Pi hurriedly said, "Yes."
Zhao Xu closed his eyes and was still in Qingzhou, but his mind had already left Qingzhou and arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture.
After solving the troubles of the Xia people, the focus is about to return.
When they learned that Zhao Xu had left Qingzhou City, Xixia and Liao were all relieved.
Li Ganshun gritted his teeth and endured humiliation. When the Song army retreated and left Xiping Prefecture, he knew that Zhao Xu had left Qingzhou, and then his eyes turned red, turned his horse's head and returned to Xingqing Prefecture.
Xiao Tiancheng and Yelu Gong saw that the overall situation had been decided and no longer stayed. They left a few people to observe the follow-up, so they stood up and returned to the Central Beijing of Liao Kingdom.
At the same time, Kaifeng City became more and more lively.
The officials personally led the army to the expedition and achieved unprecedented victory, surpassing the ancestors of all dynasties. Such merits, not to mention the court and the country, even ordinary people were happy and unable to control themselves.
Kaifeng City, the entire Song Dynasty discussed this battle, Zhang Dun and others secretly contributed to the fire, and Zhao Xu was an unprecedented sage lord who had been in exchanges between ancient and modern times!
Green tiled house.
The coming and going in a hurry, not only the officials from the Green Tile House, but also many six ministries, whose officials were about to return to Beijing, and there were too many things to do.
Cai Bian was writing something in a hurry, and said in a quick tone: "The Ministry of Revenue reported that the governors from all over the country urged them to work hard. This year's money and food have come up 80% of the time, but the canal and many rivers are blocked, and the heavy rain this year may be delayed. Fortunately, the government seized many Li Xia and could handle it for a while..."
Zhang Dun was examining a list and said casually: "The governors from all walks of life are not working hard. Those who are now writing letters every day. This is difficult and that is not easy. I think they are used to being comfortable. They are reluctant to move a little bit of fur, and they can only breathe after walking a few steps..."
Cai Bian shook his head, finished writing one, quickly picked up the other, continued to write, and said without raising his head: "This year is like this, and then make adjustments next year. Not only the governor, but all political senators have problems. Also, quickly draw up the list, I can make arrangements..."
Zhang Dun looked up at him, picked up the pen, cut off several names, and added a few more, saying, "It's basically settled. All the six ministers are in Beijing, and I have added some nobles, Zhu Qianzhen, and Zhao Qi..."
Cai Bian paused, not because Zhang Dun called out the full name of 'Zhao Quan', but because he thought of something else, turned to Zhang Dun and said, "How did you arrange it on the Empress?"
Zhang Dun said lightly: "The Empress is pregnant in July, and she is unable to move. The emperor's heir is more than anything else, so she will not work for the Empress."
Seeing Zhang Dun use big words to swear to him, Cai Bian put down his pen and said seriously: "The Empress must add it, and you, why don't I go and invite him in person. In addition, what do you think of Empress Dowager?"
"No need. The concubine is an elder, so how can she go out to welcome her? Just be in the palace." Zhang Dun's expression was plain and his words were firm.
Cai Bian could understand Zhang Dun's idea. The "New Party" had always been displeased with Empress Meng, who was established by the "old party", and secretly promoted the deposed queen's actions and never stopped.
Cai Bian disagreed and continued to persuade: "If you insist on doing this, the Empress will not be happy, and the official may not be happy either."
