Chapter 52: The Establishment of the Festival

Within a few days, the new city was completed. Most of the prisoners of war were taken away by Yang Wenguang to build a new city in Fengzhou and build a road from Dongshengzhou to Fengzhou.

Just when Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng were busy arranging the arrangements for the army and prisoners of war, the decree arrived. Du Zhongxiao changed his military with literature, and deployed for the Chongxin Army's festival envoy, the pacification envoy of the Hequ Road, and the Hequ Road. Hequ Road is no longer controlled by Hedong Road, and is a separate road. Fengzhou was changed to Shazhou, and Fengzhou was placed between the north and south of the Yellow River with the newly seized Yellow River, Hue Ferry was changed to Hezhou, and Dongshengzhou was changed to Shengzhou. The geography and boundaries of each state were determined in detail by Du Zhongxiao and then reported to the imperial court, and the interior tried to find a way to immigrate to the real border.

Such changes are mainly based on the counties set up in the Han Dynasty and the states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, and try to remove the state and county settings of the Khitan. Fengzhou in the Tang Dynasty was originally between the north and south flows of the Yellow River, and later both the Khitan Fengzhou and the Song Dynasty themselves set up Fengzhou came from here. Fengzhou in the south of the Song Dynasty was abandoned after the party broke through, and moved to the old place in the Tang Dynasty. Dongshengzhou is the Shengzhou of the Tang Dynasty, which moved east after being broken by the Khitan and changed back to its original name together. These two states mark the repetition of the homeland here during the Tang Dynasty and have a special meaning.

This big victory, the hundred officials in the capital were very excited, and the civil officials called it comparable to the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties, which was first manifested in the place name. In the future, when the population increases and the counties are set up, the names of the Han and Tang dynasties will be turned out one by one and remarked on the map.

Du Zhongxiao changed from a civilian position to a military position, and without even discussing it, the court decree came down directly. The first is that the military merits are too great, and the civilian position is not easy to promote, so it is changed to a military position, anyway, it is the festival degree to the top, and the festival degree makes the courtesy inferior to the chief executive, and the official can be changed back to the civilian position again when he returns to the court. As a civil official, he has never been sent to the top of the four, and there is basically no precedent for promotion to the top of the government. With the military position to enter the dynasty as the ruler, there is Di Qing's road, and two directions are prepared. Another balance between civil and military officials, Du Zhongxiao was replaced by a military position, and it was not good for civilian officials to suppress military generals too much.

Another decree of the court is that Han Qi returned to the court from the Hedong Road as a privy envoy. Except for Du Zhongxiao's change to Chongxin's military festival envoy and the arrangement of Hequ Road, the rest of the military exploits have not yet been described, just waiting for Han Qi to go back.

At the same time, Wang Yiyong's resignation as privy envoy was approved due to old age and infirmity, and Di Qing was promoted from deputy privy envoy and envoy of the Xuanhui Yuan to privy envoy.

Although Di Qing was still a privy envoy, it was different from the previous arrangement. Before this victory, Zhao Zhen's arrangement was for Di Qing to replace Gao Rune, the privy envoy of Wenchen, Wang Yiyong remained in office, and the two privy envoys were all military generals. After the big victory, it was actually Han Qi who replaced Gao Ruone, Di Qing who replaced Wang Yiyong, and the Privy Council maintained the original pattern.

Historically, civil officials opposed Di Qing as a privy envoy, not because military generals could not be in charge of privy councils, but because the practice was to have two privy councillors, one civil and one military. Di Qing was the privy envoy, and what Zhao Zhen asked was for Gao Ruone to resign, and Di Qing to take over. Historically, Di Qing's position was that of the customary privy envoy of the civil minister, whether before or after Di Qing was forced to resign, another privy envoy has always been a military general. This incident shows that the Song Dynasty suppressed the military with literature, and the emotional descriptions of the suppression of military generals by Wenchen were all based on not making the words clear. For example, the soldiers rushed to be the first to watch, and at a glance, they felt that they had the same effect as having honored, and Di Qing succeeded Wang Yiyong. The opposition of the civil officials was based on the destruction of convention, and Gao Ruone was forced to take up a foreign post for no reason because he gave Di Qing a position, which was more unjust than Di Qing was forced to resign a few years later. On the other hand, the Privy Council may turn the Privy Council into another military officer and change the military and political system.

What really shook Di Qing in officialdom and the people was his background. From an ordinary soldier, he became a privy envoy for his military merits, not his status as a military general. Whether before Di Qing or after him, the military generals made more privy envoys. But these privy envoys were either from a big family, or from the emperor's relatives and nobles, or they were people around the emperor. Di Qing is different from these people, he came from an ordinary background, he had no experience in the emperor's side, and broke the birth restrictions, which is the reason why the people talk about it and the forbidden soldiers are proud. Another person who had this experience in the Song Dynasty was Yue Fei later. The Di family will be the storyteller of later generations, in fact, there is no Di family general, and Di Qing himself may not be led by the gate to his own people. Most of Di Qing's descendants were civil officials, and most of the people they interacted with were literati, and these literati friends helped the Di family leave Di Qing's prestige.

Before Han Qi returned to Beijing, he went to Hue Du New Town, which is the new Ha Zhou, to bid farewell to Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng.

greeted the official hall, and after the ceremony, the three of them sat down.

Du Zhongxiao bowed his hand to Han Qi: "Congratulations to Xianggong for returning to the dynasty and presiding over the military aircraft." ”

Han Qi said: "Jinglu, when I returned to Beijing this time, I really shared a lot of your military exploits, so don't worry about it." There is a precedent for Emperor Di Taiwei Pingnong Zhigao to return to the dynasty as a privy envoy, and you should return to Beijing to be the ruler of this great victory."

Du Zhongxiao said with a smile: "I am originally a farmer, and I have only been in the first place for ten years, and the previous official was just a normal way, how dare I be a ruler!" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Not really. Captain Di was drawn into the army, and it was only more than ten years since he was commanded to be the ruler. Kolai Gong has been in politics for less than ten years. Although the seniority is a little shallow, but the military merits are great, why not? ”

Du Zhongxiao just smiled and shook his head, and said no more. What age are you? Now that I'm a ruler, I don't know how to be tossed in the next few decades. No matter how tempting that person is, Du Zhongxiao will not do it now, otherwise life will be too boring.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao didn't care about this, Han Qi also smiled: "Although Jingluo is young, he is open-minded. Having said that, this time I returned to Beijing as a privy envoy, just because the river meandering road is great, and it is not so unbelievable. Jingluo is not because of his young age, but he has always been a local official, and the officials in Shengshang and Beijing are not familiar with it. After a few years, the court knows what you can do, and how can the court abandon it! ”

Du Zhongxiao was silent for a while, and said to Han Qi: "Xianggong, I have thought clearly about this matter myself, and it is not appropriate to enter the court now." It is better to stay in this meandering land for a few years, and build this great victory solidly. Tang people said, but make the dragon city fly in, do not teach Hu Ma to cross Yin Mountain. Although I am not talented and dare not compare myself to Wei Huo, I can still do it so that the Hu people do not dare to go south and herd horses! ”

Han Qi nodded: "Okay, good, if you have this courage and mind, what's so difficult about this!" ”

Bao Zheng did not speak on the side. He was indignant that Gao Ruone gave way to Di Qing. Han Qi's return to Beijing was considered to be a relief, but it was at the cost of Du Zhongxiao's military exploits on Han Qi. Gao Ruo was less afraid, and this time he was demoted from a privy envoy to a group of pastoral envoys, and a judge of Shangshu was provincial, and he was made by a scholar, not a scholar of Hanlin, which was too much for him. The cause was that when he was traveling, the guard of honor drove passers-by, resulting in death. Gao Roner immediately sent his guards to the government and punished them according to the law, but did not protect them. Yu Shi still wanted to play, played Gao Ruonuo, and Liang Shi was mixed up with political participation, and Gao Ruone was demoted. Historically, Di Qing was attacked by civilian officials a few years later, which has something to do with what happened to Gao Rune at this time. Shortly after leaving the post of Privy Councillor, he fell ill and died.

After revealing the knot in this matter, Han Qi was very happy and said to Du Zhongxiao: "The military exploits of this battle will not be described for the time being, and the strategy will be explained clearly to the officers and soldiers." When I return to Beijing, I will be rewarded. This is a great victory that has not been won in this dynasty for decades, and it is not rewarded, and it is not enough to persuade the soldiers to use their lives! ”

Du Zhongxiao thanked him. I knew in my heart that the military merits I had made this time were too great, and part of it was given to Han Qi, and the other part had to be distributed to my subordinates. The subordinate generals were rewarded to comfort the army. He is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, and he has no real reliance in the court, so he is already the limit by taking the temperance as a strategy. If it goes any further, it will cause others to attack and even be suspicious of the emperor.

In fact, if you don't fight, you will still be suspicious of the emperor and the ministers. Alone in charge of the army, and so able to fight, which one can rest assured? It is impossible to transfer yourself away, you will lose people's hearts, and even lose your territory, and no one dares to take risks. In the next few days, it will depend on Taoguang's kung fu.
