Chapter 6 Summoning
At the ten-mile long pavilion, Yan Shu and Lu Yijian gave Li Di a greeting. Xu Ping stepped forward and raised his glass and said, "My husband welcomed me the day before yesterday, and today I will send you my husband. It is thousands of miles northwest, and the road is dangerous. Please take care of me!"
After the two of them drank together, Li Di pulled Xu Ping's hand and said, "You fought for thousands of miles northwest. I went to guard the northwest because I was in a hurry and didn't discuss it in detail. After arriving in the northwest, can there be any explanation for the matter?"
Xu Ping thought for a while and said, "The attack and conquest are different from defending the people. According to what I saw and heard in the northwest, the places adjacent to the Khitan should be pacified and cultivated fields. If there is a dispute between the Khitan, my husband can be vulgar and cultivated. As for the situation of the Khitan, the army stationed there will be mainly the army stationed there, and the Risk Department should not tease the Khitan. From Fengzhou to Yinxia, when it was Xingling, he will work hard to combine the tents into villages, including the land as the resident, change customs, and recruit manpower from the mainland. There is no large force in the Hexi area, so you can act according to the original Qinfeng Road. If the Khitan countries have a dispute, they should be pacified and cultivated first to avoid causing turmoil in the newly harvested areas. When the Hexi and Qinfeng Road are pacified, they will be slowly planned. Yes or not, my husband will consider it in the northwest according to the actual situation."
Li Di thanked him, and his nephew Li Jizhi, who was accompanying him, held the horse on his back and bowed to the officials who came to see him off.
This time, Li Di was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Civilization Hall and the Prime Minister, as the Minister of the Civilization Hall, as the Minister of Qin Feng, Jingyuan, Huanqing, Xingling, Yinxia, Fengsheng and Gansu Road and the 7th Route. He no longer deployed the capital and lost the power to use troops, and was not considered a commander. However, the northwest was too far from the Central Plains, with a vast area and a complex situation. The court gave Li Di a cheap right to act. In an emergency, he could first fight the northwest army, and at the same time reported to the court, which was recognized by the Privy Council.
There is no Grand Secretary in the Civilization Hall. Li Di is the prime minister and is 70 years old and has a special Grand Secretary to show his respect and favor.
Seeing Li Di go away, Yan Shu felt a little sad. It was originally something that should have been happy from being promoted from the Prime Minister to the Prime Minister, but the second prime minister under him was Xu Ping who returned to Beijing, which really made people not happy. When Xu Ping used to be the envoy of the Three Divisions, ordinary officials could not suppress him. Now he has returned with the Great Win of the Northwest. With the help of a group of officials promoted from the Three Divisions, he can't suppress him.
Yan Shu is a slick person and has no intention of fighting for power and profit. He does not want to compete with Xu Ping for a long time. He is content to be a prime minister. However, when Li Di leaves and Xu Ping returns, the personnel affairs of the two governments will definitely change drastically. As a prime minister, the emperor has never asked about the future ruling candidates until now. It is obvious that he has to ask Xu Ping first. This kind of feeling is always unpleasant.
Fortunately, Yan Shu knew that he could not take the position of prime minister without Xu Ping in the Political Affairs Hall. With Lu Yijian in the Privy Council, there were really few people except Li Di who could be prime minister. Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
Everyone returned to the capital. It was already noon. After asking each other, they returned to their respective posts. Yan Shu was a little unnatural. The other rulings did not know where they would go in the future, so they were inevitably panic and they scattered in a hurry.
As soon as Xu Ping was about to leave the imperial city, the little emperor's sect came over and asked him to enter the palace to meet the saint immediately.
Seeing Xu Ping leave with Xiao Huang, Yan Shu and the several governors were mixed. This time, when he returned from the northwest, it was obvious that Xu Ping was going to be of great use. According to his previous style of doing things, the government would definitely change greatly. Who knows who would choose as an assistant?
Xu Ping is too young, and in order to facilitate the administration of politics, Yan Shu has firmly settled. It is hard to say about the two officials who are involved in politics. It is not because of their ability or their character, but because of whether Xu Ping feels right or not. It seems absurd to decide the candidates for politics, but it is true.
After entering the Great Inner, he went straight to Tianzhang Pavilion. After reporting, he led Xu Ping in, and the small yellow gate bowed and retreated.
Looking at Xu Ping who walked in, Zhao Zhen said happily: "Since you returned to Beijing, you have a variety of things and you have no time to talk about it alone. Say goodbye to Mr. Li, have a few days to calm down, and today I have free time. Let's talk about your affairs in the northwest in the past few years!"
Xu Ping held the scepter: "Your Majesty is planning in the capital, and I will win a thousand miles in the northwest. It is not a big deal to attack the officials and pacify the land."
Zhao Zhen laughed: "I may not be able to plan, but you are indeed decisive! Haha, I sent you to the northwest that day, just to destroy Yuanhao's arrogance and make him still submit to the court to the court to surrender. But I don't expect you to slip and kill Yuanhao, defeat the Khitan, and expand the territory for thousands of miles! This dynasty's martial arts is so great. With such achievements, I am worthy of my ancestors after a hundred years!"
After saying that, he ordered Xiaohuangmen to give him a seat to tea and talked with Xu Ping several times across the case.
Xu Ping did not dare to sit face to face with the emperor, smiling, and moved his seat aside and sat in the side seat.
Zhao Zhen knew that Xu Ping was not a Zhang Yang person, so he gave up tea and asked, "Tell me, what exactly is Yuan Hao? He rebelled and often heard people say that this guy is extraordinary and extraordinary. Is that true?"
Judging from Zhao Zhen's inspiration, he was obviously interested in this matter. In the first year, he suffered hard work. In the battle of Sanchuankou, the Song army was defeated, and countless deeds about Yuanhao were revealed. It is normal that the Yuanhao traces that were revealed at that time were all amazing. They were different from ordinary people since childhood. Cao Wei was in the northwest when he saw his paintings and said "real heroes". Zhao Zhen had heard countless such stories at that time, and it was not until Xu Ping killed him and sent him back to Beijing that he finally got rid of this shadow. In fact, it is not necessarily true that everyone thinks so. Yuanhao naturally picked out such words when he wins. If Yuanhao loses, the story that naturally spreads will be another way.
Xu Ping smiled and said, "Yuan Hao is of medium figure, eagle nose, and eyes are full of spirit. How could the heroic and martial ministers not see him? Because he was a prisoner in front of me, just a person who was waiting for death. His face was gray and dejected, and it was no different from the generals who were captured. On that day, Yuan Hao should have been escorted back to the capital and decided by His Majesty himself. However, the place was decided, and hundreds of thousands of troops were outside, but the people were not attached to him. I was afraid that there would be any repetitions, so I killed him in Lingzhou City and used his son as a criminal envoy."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "It would be best to behead him in Lingzhou. If there is any mistake, it will be a great chaos again! Since the relocation, Dangxiang has treason several times, but it has not been suppressed. The death of the thief chief is a big danger! The prisoner who sued Ning Ling, who was a courtier, said that you should not kill Yuanhao in Lingzhou. I said at that time that they had no knowledge! The army of the two countries intersected, how powerful the commander was? How could he keep great trouble because of the small details! It was because of Yuanhao in Lingzhou that Dangxiang could quickly pacify. You make a quick decision and do a good job!"
Xu Ping stood up, bowed his scepter and bowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your unjust sin!"
Zhao Zhen smiled and asked Xu Ping to sit down, saying to him: "Jiaozhi and Dangxiang are both treasons and powerful countries. Xiling has always wanted to be in the county and the land but cannot be obtained. You hold a Li Foma to offer prisoners and kill a Yuan Hao for crimes. Since the founding of this dynasty, you have the best military merits!"
