Chapter 836: It’s better to be a son-in-law
The northwest dew announced the victory, and informed the people of Bianjing by galloping fast horses across the capital.
Dong Wen praised him!
Recover Huangzhou and Taozhou!
The news spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Two scholars in a tea shop in Maxing Street were drinking, and one of them said, "What awesome merit I have said, "I'm going to regain a Taozhou in Huangzhou and make such a big blow. Isn't this a way for the court to compete for merit and continue to bewitch the holy listen?"
Another said: "Now that China has not been cured, it has invaded the four barbarians, and the gains are not worth the loss. Previously, the market law ordered people to sell land, every household sells houses, and every household buys cows. When there is no land, no houses, no cattle to be sold, they will inevitably cut down dates and mulberry trees, and sell wood to sell firewood. They abandon the Chinese people, but seek barren land."
"Yes, even if it is like Emperor Wu of Han, what's the use? Isn't it still accused of eternal times? Does the posthumous title of Wu sound good? It's not as good as Emperor Wen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something flying over and smashing on their table.
But with a bang, the bowl of wine was almost sprinkled all over the table.
When the two saw that the thing they smashed was a large copper teapot made of tea with the shop.
The two of them asked in surprise and angrily: "Who is it? That's the case?"
After the two of them finished speaking, they saw a man in their thirties, looking at them with a cold face.
Seeing that there were several eye-catching servants standing beside the man, the two did not dare to speak out on the spot. They just said something insulting and left the restaurant in a mess.
"Zihou, why bother so much that it disturbs you and me to have a good mood of drinking."
He spoke with Lin Xi of Taichang Liyuan, and the one who threw the teapot was the military weapon supervisor, and the master of the imperial edict was the author of the imperial edict.
Zhang Dun and Lin Xi said: "The current scholarly style is so corrupt. If scholars are so unconscious and courageous, there is not even a single bone and blood. Such a country is in danger. No wonder Wang Xianggong must have 'one morality'."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Oh? Zihou, I also said you are venting your anger for Saburo."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xize and said, "How could that be?"
"Don't blame me if you laugh."
After saying that, Zhang Dun and Lin Xi sat down again for a drink, Lin Xi said: "You will take Nanjiang land, Jianyuan, Yi and other states, and Kemei Mountain.

But Zhang Jie said that you killed too much in Nanjiang, so you are really annoyed by it."
Zhang Dun said with a tight look: "The disadvantage of this dynasty is that the literary and military plays. During the Qingli battle, the Xixia force this dynasty to come to this dilemma. Military is a major national affairs, and they use all means to do everything. They cannot be described as despicable and cruel. Do these scholars think that they are like poetry, like flowers, snow and moon?"
"It is hard to imagine that Wang and Gong will lift the country's power, but those short-sighted and unconscious people are restraining this. How can I not hate it? I am really sad about Wang and Gong, and even more sad about this great river and country. I really don't know how many days can I keep in the hands of such a person."
Lin Xi sighed and said, "I heard that the official ordered you to establish a special case to investigate the case of the Municipal Yishu. Who do you think is true between Zeng Zixuan and Lu Jifu?"
Zhang Dun said: "Since I handled the case with the official family committee, I will only know after I checked it!"
Lin Xi said: "It doesn't matter if I think the truth is, but there are not as many tricks as Ji Fu."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xi and asked, "Are you helping Ji Fu as a lobbyist?"
"No! No!" Lin Xi smiled and cleared the relationship, "We and Ji Fu are both fellow townsmen, but we just like to see it happen."
Zhang Dun knew that Lin Xi was not very cunning, and if he was really a lobbyist of Lu Huiqing, that would have been the case just now.
Zhang Dun said: "This time Lu Jifu won, the reform can survive. If Zi Xuan won, the reform will be in danger!"
While speaking, the surrounding area became lively, but the members of the Bow and Archery Club took to the streets to celebrate, and the people of Bianjing took out firecrackers to celebrate.
Zhang Dun said: "Three...the destiny is quite popular with the people."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Of course, he had saved many people from heavy rain in Bianjing back then... Having said that, this time, I would like to pay great respects to the achievements of Pinghehuang. Are you envious?"
Zhang Dun laughed: "What's the envy? It's like climbing a mountain, if you climb a mountain, you're already high. Looking left and right, you're still taller than the mountain. Today I don't have to envy him, and then he doesn't have to envy me."
The two laughed.
At this moment, a person in the restaurant said, "No wonder it rained heavily a few days ago. It turned out that the northwest won the battle, not because of the reform."
...
And in Chongzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, it rained heavily the day before yesterday, which was the reason for the victory of the northwest."
The official nodded deeply. This time, Zhang Yue sent troops to conquer the two states in one breath.
"This time, we overcame Huangzhou and Taozhou. Since our army sent troops to Xihe in the third year of Xining, it took only four years to obtain Tongyuan Army, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, and Minzhou. Now, Taozhou and Huangzhou are one army in total, seven states."
After the official learned of the great victory in Zhang Yue in the northwest, he personally immediately painted the hot color of the Song Dynasty on the Xihe map of his indoor Huangzhou and Taozhou with a pen.
In four years, Zhang Yue conquered the Seven Prefectures and One Army for the Song Dynasty, which was an unparalleled contribution.
The officials' determination that had been shaken for reform has now become firmer again.
At this time, Wu Chong participated in politics and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue wrote a memorial to Xihe for a long time, and now the troops are exhausted, and the imperial court's money is in short supply. It is the time for the country and the people to rest. After the country is stable, we will choose good generals to lead the three armies to attack Xiayi. There is a grudge from Xueren Temple and a hatred for Qingli!"
The official heard this and said, "This is even more true! If the order is sent, Xihe will stop the army, and Zhang Yue will return to the capital immediately. I will use it with great value!"
Lu Huiqing was both happy and worried when he listened. What was happy was that Zhang Yue completely saved the new law this time, and what was worried was that Zhang Yue returned to the court. What was better to fight with him with merit?
Lu Huiqing looked at Wu Chong and thought, by the way, the two father-in-law and son-in-law are one inside and one outside, how can the official family be willing?
At this time, Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, my neck has been getting more painful recently. I am not qualified to be a political assistant. I hope your Majesty will allow me to retire and recuperate! I am very grateful."
After hearing this, Lu Huiqing thought to himself that Wu Chongzuo would rather retire from the position of the minister for his son-in-law's career.
The official said, "Wu Qing, I know that you are suspected of being with your son-in-law. However, now the state is in a difficult time. I do not care about using talents in a single style. You and your son-in-law must stay in the court to assist me."
Wu Chong wanted to refuse.
But the official family said: "You don't have to say more. Now that Mr. Wen has resigned, the Western Palace is vacant. I have said that Chen Shengzhi will return to the court to serve as Privy Councilor, but now I plan to use Wu Qing, which is also my slight reward for your father-in-law and son-in-law's contribution to the country's development."
Wu Chong was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
Lu Huiqing was also shocked.
The official did not let Wu Chong retreat, but instead promoted Wu Chong from being a deputy general to a Privy Councilor, replacing the vacancy left by Wen Yanbo.
The Privy Councilor and the Secretary of the Central Secretariat were promoted from deputy prime minister to prime minister.
Wu Chong was so grateful that he couldn't speak. He first refused for a while. Seeing that the officials refused, he said that he was not qualified and begged the officials to let Chen Shengzhi and him become the Privy Councilor.
The official agreed.
Wu Chongdeyun sighed that he said that he supported his son-in-law along the way, but in fact he was promoted entirely by his son-in-law along the way.
