Chapter 746 The Right Way

In September of the fifth year of Xining, blind Wu Chi, blind Yao, Wen Nazhi, Jie Wu Yanzheng, Dong Yu, Wenbuchake and other hundreds of Fan tribe leaders entered the palace to receive rewards.

When the more than 100 chiefs of the Tibetan tribe learned that they could see the emperor of Song Dynasty, they were all very excited.

The chiefs of the Tibetan tribes were wearing the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty, and they looked like wearing monkey crowns, which made the onlookers and court ladies laugh frequently.

Even though they rehearsed for a whole day yesterday, they still walked in the wrong queue when they faced the king today.

They crossed the empty square, surrounded by imperial guards wearing golden armor, and the grandeur of the entire palace made them dizzying.

Until they passed the Daqing Hall and arrived at the Zichen Hall, all the officials of the Song Dynasty, including civil and military officials, were in the hall, watching the ridiculous appearance of the chiefs of the Fan tribe, Zhang Yue, who was in the top 30 people in a purple robe Almost putting their hands on their foreheads, these people really lost their face, but they smiled again seeing the official's expression.

Many ministers couldn't help laughing, and those who were jealous of Zhang Yuezhi like Lu Huiqing laughed exaggeratedly.

I thought that Zhang Yue had made a fuss and some people came to meet Sheng.

Lu Huiqing is now on the rise all the way, promoted to Zhizhigao, but after hearing that Zhang Yue is going to worship as a Hanlin scholar, jealousy still separates him.

All the officials had a funny look on their faces, but the officials were serious and serious.

When Zhang Yue made such a statement, he understood very well what it meant to bring these hundreds of Tibetan chiefs to Bianjing.

Blindly attacking can't solve the problem, the most important thing is to let the barbarians enjoy Wang Hua, and the strategy for Xihe is seven points to appease and three points to suppress.

The official said: "You are originally Han Chinese, but you have been displaced for many years. I still treat you as my own people and treat you equally. I often remember that you said that you are loyal to me and the country, but you have not seen it. On my side, allegiance is rooted, so I let you come to Beijing to take a look, not only to have a look at the Central Plains Wanghua, but also to let you take a look at me, and I will also take a look at you..."

This speech was improvised by the officials. He felt that he had to do his part to help Zhang Yue and Wang Shao who were fighting on the front line, so he spoke very modestly.

These people can travel thousands of miles to see the emperor of the Song Dynasty, wear the official uniform of the Song Dynasty, learn the etiquette of the Song Dynasty, bow down to the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and receive the rewards of the Song Dynasty. This in itself is allegiance to the Song Dynasty.

Changing Dong Zhan, Mu Zheng and the others were obedient to the tune when they were the most obedient.

The chiefs of the Tibetan tribe below listened very carefully, some understood Chinese and some did not understand Chinese, but none of this prevented them from seeing the Song emperor for the first time and hearing the imperial edict of the Song emperor with their own ears.

After the officials finish their long speeches, they will be rewarded.

Blind Wu Chi, the leader of the Fan tribe, worshiped as the training envoy of the Rongzhou regiment.

Blind medicine (Bao Shun) is the envoy for the supply and storage, and the governor of the Fan Department in Hezhou.

Wen Nazhi (the chief of Hezhou) is the deputy envoy of Zhuang Zhai.

Wu Yanzheng was appointed Deputy Envoy of Chongyi.

Dong Yu Libin deputy envoy.

Others were also rewarded.

Xi Qi, the general who guarded Xiangzi City with Zhang Yue, bestowed the governor of Jiezhou, and Master Zhiyuan, who followed Zhang Yue as an envoy, was also named the head of Youjie.

Seeing Zhi Yuan going up to the hall in a purple robe and cassock, Zhang Yue nodded slightly at him, and the other party smiled.

After the appointment of officials in the hall, there will be a series of rewards, such as gold and silver, robes, copper coins, etc. All in all, the more than 100 chiefs of the Fan tribe followed Zhang Yue to Bianjing for nothing, and all kinds of rewards were soft.

After awarding the reward, Zhang Yue asked the leader of the Fan tribe to write an oath, which stated that he would never betray the Song Dynasty and be loyal to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Oaths, appointments, rewards, audiences, kowtows, etc., are useless for a person who is determined to rebel against the Song Dynasty, but they are useful for most people.

These people are normal people, they don't have any deep hatred towards the Song Dynasty, and they all know where to go after today.

This time the audience reward not only greatly improved the loyalty of these Tibetan chiefs, but also made Zhang Yue implant their popularity in their hearts. After all, they were all the officials he brought to Bianjing to meet.

After the ceremony, the official retreated to the back of the palace, looked at the oath of alliance of the leader of the Fanren, and was very satisfied and praised Zhang Yue who was beside him.

Seeing Longyan Dayue, Zhang Yue hit the iron tunnel while it was hot: "Your Majesty, the minister and Wang Shao advocate repairing Zanak City and Tabai City, where [-] troops will be stationed, and soldiers will be selected from Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, and Yanyan Road. , soldiers, archers, and envoys from all walks of life can obey orders."

The official almost clapped his legs and applauded when he heard it, it was so in line with his wishes.

Wang Anshi on the side objected: "Isn't this a restraint of the soldiers and horses of the four routes? Now that Xihe has been newly captured, it is probably inconvenient to make such a publicity."

Wen Yanbo smiled slightly when he saw this. He originally opposed Xihe's use of troops, but now that Zhang Yue advocated building Zanak City and stationing troops in Qingtang, even Wang Anshi objected, so he fell silent.

Zhang Yue's proposal to build Zanak City and Tabai City is not only a thoughtful suggestion from him and Wang Shao, but also a further demand for power and soldiers from the court. Once this step is reached, the court will naturally send itself back to the northwest.

But Wang Anshi obviously had other plans.

Zhang Yue said: "Zanak City is a place that military strategists must fight for. It is not only to guard against Qingtang, but also to prevent Xixia from coming to fight. If you don't control the troops from all walks of life, I'm afraid it will be impossible to deal with the enemy."

Wang Anshi said: "Targeting heavy soldiers and hanging out, we are afraid that the food and grass will not continue, and we are afraid that the stomach will be empty. Now it is better to be soft and far away."

Zhang Yue thought to himself, is Wang Anshi determined not to let him go back to the northwest?

The officials were worried about the dispute between Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi, so they said: "Leave this matter aside for the time being. Before the Khitan patrol horses repeatedly crossed the river and violated the boundary, I was very worried. There was no general agreement on whether to dispute or not. Wang Qing's family was on that day. , the weakening of all the barbarians has not been as great as it is today for hundreds of years, and later it was said that the land of the barbarians is not as large as the Khitan of today."

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister's opinion is that the Siyi can be controlled concurrently, but Xia and Khitan cannot be contracted. There should be a sequence."

The official said: "I also think so. Many ministers persuaded me that the Khitan can be judged by human favors, but I changed my mind. How could the Empress Li of the Southern Tang Dynasty be wronged? He was also destroyed by the Taizu. It is useful to reason with the Khitan. no?"

"However, reading Zhang Qing's argument yesterday is really rewarding. It can be said to be the words of gold and stone."

Zhang Yuedao: "Your Majesty has learned from the old days that this land is vast, with people, horses, and wealth. How can the Southern Tang Dynasty of Empress Li compare with that of the Taizu? In comparison, why is this dynasty afraid of Khitan? As long as you understand this, you will know that it is not the Lord of Liao who has no plans, but dare not have plans."

"I always believe that a rich country and a strong army are the right way, and as long as the country rises, all vertical and horizontal theories can be broken."

After hearing this, several prime ministers thought that Zhang Yue's last sentence was a common saying of Wang Anshi.

Zhang Yue has still shown his favor to Wang Anshi until now, does he still want the other party to recommend him to go to the Northwest?
