The two brothers, Zhang Yan and Zhang Fang, knelt in front of Zhao Tuan, crying silently. Zhang Yan said: "My father died last night, and now there is a suicide note from my father, please take a look at it." ”

An attendant had already taken Zhang Jun's suicide note from Zhang Yan's hand and presented it to Zhao Tuan. Zhao Tuan opened it to watch, only to see that it was written:

Minister Wei Guogong, Shangshu Right Pu Shot Tongshu Men Ping Zhangshi and Privy Envoy, Baoxin Military Festival Envoy Zhang Junyan: The righteousness of the monarch and the minister, there is no escape between heaven and earth, I have two dynasties of kindness, long corpse heavy responsibility, although I go to the country today, I still look at the heart of the heart, I have a view, and I am patient and patient.

I have a common hatred of the Jin people, although the court at the same time paid off the master of Xingsu, and then the alliance of the jade silk envoy is to talk about the idea of peace has not been forgotten in the chest, so the matter has been repeatedly failed and the success has not been achieved, now the gold is strong to come, weak is stopped, not in harmony and discord. If you don't fight, you can't hate, and you can't recover if you don't fight.

The righteousness of the Lord is based on the heart. One heart to the sky. What's wrong? The so-called heavenly one is just the axiom of the world. We must be conscientious and self-reliant, so that we will bow to the clear, then there will be no impropriety in rewards and punishments, and the hearts of the people will return to themselves, and the enemies will be self-serving.

I taste the country, can not restore the Central Plains, the shame of the snow ancestors, that is, death, should not bury the tomb of my ancestors, bury me under the Heng Mountain is enough.

Zhao Tuan looked at it, and couldn't help but cry and said: "Duke Wei, it is the country's reliance, and now I leave, I will be able to make peace." ”

Zhang Yan also wept and said: "May Your Majesty remember the shame of the sect and society, and pity the misery of the Central Plains, be in the middle, and think about it." The minister said that the hair of this heart is the existence of heavenly principles. Even though my father was under the Nine Springs, he also tasted His Majesty's virtue. ”

Zhao Tuan nodded and said, "Qing's words are very true. Immediately issued an edict, and gave Zhang Jun as the master, the name of loyalty, and gave 100,000 yuan for a generous burial.

Zhang Yan and Zhang Fang brothers came out of gratitude.

Zhao Tuan immediately issued an order to Xuanfu in Sichuan to make Yu Yunwen return to Lin'an. In addition, Wang Yan was appointed as the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy to replace Yu Yunwen, and Wang Gangzhong was appointed as the Longtu Pavilion to be systematized, knowing the affairs of Chengdu and the Sichuan system. At this time, there was the Xingzhou Imperial Garrison under control, and the Wuchang Army made Wu Ting write to the court and resign from illness. Zhao Tuan immediately put on the spot, and because Wu Ting's son Wu Xi was successful in this Northern Expedition, he let Wu Xi take over Wu Ting as the commander of the Xingzhou Imperial Garrison, and crowned him as the Baoxin Army's envoy.

The three generations of the Wu Dynasty were all generals in Sichuan, which was rare in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Tuan originally wanted to transfer Wu Xi back to Lin'an to take up his post, but the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy had just been replaced, and in order to maintain the stability of Sichuan's military and government, it was decided to leave the Wu family's people to garrison in Sichuan.

Then Zhao Tuan issued an edict again, posthumously appointed as the envoy of Min Qingyuan and Chongning Junjie, and the three emcees of Zeng Kaifu. Cheng Min's four sons who died in the war all chased the envoys of the festival. He also appointed Tang Siwei as the envoy of the imperial camp and the guard, supervising Jiang and Huai affairs, while the governor of Jianghuai defended, and negotiated peace with the Jin State on the other. Yang Yizhong was also appointed as a deputy envoy to assist Tang Siwei in managing military affairs.

"Fengtian presents the luck, the emperor said: to guard the horse military division, select the front army to control Yang Yan, the courage to fight the mountain, the army has a way, between Shandong, Hebei, the traces sweep the enemy, burn the grain and grass, destroy the front to win, the danger of the arrow, the vertical and horizontal river, the enemy is surprised, and the mystery of Taoling is understood. Thousands of miles of teachers, Xuanli has worked for a long time, fought a lot of battles, and added several roads. The merit of killing the coward and the strategy of controlling the army are seen in the time. Children know their surnames, plants and trees hear their prestige, especially to add Yang Yan as the founder of Yining County, Zuo Wu doctor, Zhongzhou assassin envoy, lift Liquan Temple, with imperial equipment, waiting for the guard horse military division are waiting. Chin this. ”

finally waited for Cao An and Cao's father-in-law to finish reading the holy decree of the commendation. Yang Yan became more and more confused the more he listened, his official position sounded like a lot, but he still didn't understand what kind of official he was competing for.

The official name of the Song Dynasty is divided into official ranks, official positions, and the envoy is composed of Xujie, Zuo Wu Dafu is the official rank, is the six-rank general, and the official position of the Ma Military Division is from the fifth grade, which is second only to the commander and the deputy commander in the Ma Military Division, which is higher than the command. The founding son of Yining County is the name of the knight, the viscount is from the fifth grade, and the Chungju assassin envoy is also from the fifth grade, but this is a virtual street and does not need to go to Chungju to take office. However, according to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the grade is based on the official rank, so Yang Yan is a sixth-rank military general. Lifting the Liquan Temple and bringing imperial equipment are also Rong Transcription Street, but having 'bringing imperial equipment' means that Yang Yan may go to the palace to be on duty. But Yang Yan thought about it for a long time and found that there was no errand in his official position.

However, now the entire Ma Military Division is not in Lin'an, part of it is directly led by Han Yanzhi in Jiankang, the Xuanfeng Army that he originally commanded is in Jiankang, and the other part is led by Chen Min, the commander of the capital, and is stationed in Chizhou, so where should he go to take office?

At this time, Gonggong Cao was announcing the promotion of others: Xin Qijian was a doctor of Chaosan, a judge of Jiankang Mansion, and a senator of Jiankang Governor's Mansion. Dr. Cao Xun Wuyi, the commander of the imperial garrison of Zhenjiang Prefecture; Dr. Gao Zhenwu, the commander of the Chizhou Imperial Garrison; Dr. Zhang Shiyan Wuyi, the commander of the imperial garrison of Xiangyang Prefecture; Liu Fuwu Wuyi Doctor, Ma Junsi Xuanfeng Army Commander, Wei Chang Congyilang, Military Department Ordnance Supervisor Cheng. Soldiers are each promoted by one rank.

The general who died in the battle, Yu Gongliang, pursued the doctor in the posthumous office, and the Jiyang army undertook the envoy and promoted the longevity of the envoy; complement his brother Yu Hang Sun Bingjielang; Wang Shilong, Zhang Rong, Dong Cheng, and Zhu Zhen were all posthumously awarded martial arts doctors, and Yinzi was a loyal trainer. The other soldiers who died in battle were each promoted to the second class

Han Zhaojing, a woman who went out with the army, was named the county lord of Lishui, Zhang Wenzhu was named the county lord of Qingtian, Shi Luanying was named the county lord of Yingchuan, Yu Xiulin was named the county lord of Xin'an, Murong Hong was named the county lord of Tonglu, and Peng Lu was named the county lord of Jiaxing. It turned out to be the palace maid's Mianwen was named the lord of Yongcheng County, and Youping was named the lord of Huanggang County. And after they get married, they will make up for their husbands. Among the women who died in the war, Chen Ying was posthumously named the lord of Jiangning County, Lin Yaxian was posthumously named the lord of Xuancheng County, Peng Lu was posthumously named the lord of Nanling County, and the palace maid Dark Xiang was posthumously named the lord of Jixi County, and Mei Ying was posthumously named the lord of Tongling County. Because they were not married, one of the brothers was Chengxinlang.

After Gonggong Cao finished reading the holy decree, he handed the holy decree to Yang Yan. Immediately someone handed over the teacup, he took the teacup and drank a few words, then put the teacup back into the tray, and picked up a piece of jade pendant in the tray--- which Yang Yizhong specially instructed Yang Yan to send. Then he smiled and said: "Later, the text of the Privy Council will be sent, and all the generals must be ready to prepare, and they will soon go to their respective offices." ”

Yang Yan handed a holy decree and said: "May I ask my father-in-law, should I go to Jiankang Mansion to take office or to Chizhou to take office?"

Gonggong Cao had met him a few times, and he was familiar with it, and said with a smile: "Yang Tongzhi, oh, it should be called Yang Yuhou, fortunately you asked our family, otherwise you would have to run for nothing, you will stay in the Ma Junsi Yamen in Lin'an now, and you don't have to go there." ”

Yang Yan was puzzled: "Then why?"

Father-in-law Cao laughed and said: "Yang Yuhou, why did you forget, you are about to marry the princess, so naturally you have to stay in Lin'an Mansion." When the time comes, our family will come to beg for a bowl of wine to drink! It's not too early, our family has to go back to the palace to hand in the decree. With that, he arched his hand towards Yang Yan and said goodbye and left.

Yang Yan was stunned for a while, and then he thought that after returning to Lin'an, he had never seen Zhao Qianru.

At this time, Gao Zhen came over, patted Yang Yan on the shoulder, and said, "Big brother, it seems that we can't catch up with you and the princess's wedding wine." I think we'll find a place to get together tomorrow, so I'll congratulate you in advance! ”

Cao Xun also leaned over and said, "That's it, once we are separated this time, I don't know when we will see each other again." Turning his head to Xin Qiji, Liu Fuwu and the others said, "What do you say?" ”

Everyone else nodded in agreement, so Gao Zhen said: "Then it's decided, tomorrow night at the Xie Family Restaurant, everyone will go." ”
