In the Political Affairs Hall, several prime ministers took the final steps and sat down for a rest. Wu Yu, the participating political officer, closed his sleeves and bowed to the Prime Minister Jia Changchao: "Grandpa, Wang Junma, the volcanic army and Du Zhijun of the Volcanic army have arrived in the capital and are waiting for the order outside the city. A few years ago, when Tanglong Town fought, they handled it properly, not only did they get the important place of Tanglong Town, but they destroyed all the invading Khitans, and they were in a proper manner, leaving the Khitans with no words to say. This is a rare victory in recent years. The court should reward them heavily to ensure the hearts of soldiers and border ministers. It is extremely inappropriate to go to the capital but not to enter, and it should be very early to lead the right."

Jia Changchao said slowly: "Tanglong Town is located between the Three Kingdoms, and has many surrenders, and is not as good as other places. Although the Khitans finally admitted this matter, they still don't know what Dangxiang thought. I'd better wait. With the news of Shaanxi Road, it's not too late to attract the right."

Wu Yu looked unhappy: "Border ministers made meritorious contributions and did not reward them quickly, so how could they be rejected from the capital again? The Khitan and Dangxiang had a feud in the past two years and fought endlessly. This is the opportunity for this dynasty to consolidate the border. I am so neglected by the meritorious officials in Tanglong Town, I am afraid that the soldiers in the northwest will be even more afraid."

Jia Changchao said: "I will deal with this matter myself, so you don't have to say too much. Everything should be cautious when it comes to major frontier affairs."

Seeing Wu Yu's face full of anger, he returned to his case in disappointment. Wen Yanbo, the new political officer who was on the side, said: "What Wu Dasan said makes sense. The border ministers returned to Beijing to report their duties. According to the rules, they should introduce them immediately, so that they would not be able to wait outside the city. The Shufu moved his article and wanted to let Wang Kai meet in two days. The Volcano Army Army should also be together. Otherwise, everyone would not look good."

Jia Changchao said: "I will discuss this matter with the Shufu again, you don't need to discuss it."

Not long before Xia Shu returned to the court to serve as Privy Councilor, the practice was that Zhao Wenxiang was also appointed as Privy Councilor. Jia Changchao had just resigned from his part-time job. The other prime ministers of the Zhengshi Hall were not good at saying much about the affairs of the Privy Council. Wen Yanbo sighed and said nothing.

Wu Yu and Wen Yanbo were both Jinshi in the fifth year of Tiansheng, and were in power in their early forties. This position was extremely young. At this time, the old, middle-aged and young people in the Political Affairs Hall should have a chance to have a different role. However, the two prime ministers Jia Changchao were solid and Chen Zhizhong was smooth, but they seemed a little lifeless. Wu Yu was stubborn and dared to speak out when he encountered problems. After participating in politics, he continued to conflict with Jia Changchao. Wen Yanbo was cautious as an official and was able to get along with others, and could not cause any big waves.

Xia Feng'an sat on the other side and asked the deputy envoy Pang Ji on the side: "Ma Wang Kai, the army of Linfu, and Du Zhongxiao, the magistrate of the volcanic army, have been in the capital for several days and are waiting for the imperial edict outside the city. Can the Secretariat have news, when will they introduce them?"

Pang Ji said: "Jia Chang said that he would deal with the situation when the Shaanxi Road reports back to the Dangxiang military information."

Xia Shu said lightly: "In the battle of Tanglong Town, the Hedong Road report was extremely detailed, what else is there to be unclear? Recently, the Hedong Road report reported that the southwest Khitan area wanted to use military force against Dangxiang after the beginning of spring, so how could they have the spare energy to take into account the Tanglong Town? The East Mansion repeatedly refuted to ask the generals and border ministers to wait outside the city, which was inconsistent with the convention. What did they think?"

Pang Ji bowed: "I have already transferred my articles today. Two days later, Wang Kai will see you. I don't know how to reply to the East Mansion."

Since the northwest, the status of the Secretariat has been clearly above the Privy Council. Jia Changchao did not let go, and Wang Kai and Du Zhongxiao could only stay outside the city. The two said they were going back to the capital to meet the king. In fact, when they entered the city, it was Secretariat and the Secretariat who decided to go to the city, unless the emperor ordered them to do so. How could the emperor interfere in such matters? It disrupted the deployment of the two governments, and I don’t know what chaos it caused.

During the war, the border generals must enter the palace immediately when they enter the capital, and no one is allowed to obstruct and delay. Now that peace talks are discussed, these old rules are abandoned, and everything must be followed by the arrangements of the two governments, especially the arrangements of the Secretariat. After all, in the eyes of the court officials, Tang Long Town is not a war, but a border dispute.

Xia Feng was in the officialdom for many years, and Jia Changchao's little thoughts were as clear as the fire, but he could not help. Why did he want to become the Prime Minister and become the prime minister? Because the government affairs of the world are in the hands of the prime minister, and the status of the Privy Councilor is just similar to participating in politics.

After pondering for a long time, a sneer appeared on Xia Sheng and said to Gao Ruonai, the deputy envoy on the other side, saying, "Wang Kai and Zhang He wrote letters in succession, saying that this victory in Tanglong Town was all due to Du Zhongxiao's muskets and cannons. They said that these two objects are the most powerful weapons, far better than crossbows, and those who were in charge died immediately. This time they entered Beijing, they specially brought muskets and cannons. You plan to make a familiar statement, please move outside the city tomorrow to watch muskets and cannons!"

Gao Ruonne said yes, and hesitated for a moment, "I saw two generals saying in the memorial that no one had seen what muskets and cannons were. He said that he used flamencosts to fire projectiles, and the lower official was dull. After thinking about it, he couldn't understand. Flame nitrate is a common thing, and the fireworks in the capital are. This thing is widely used in the army, with rockets and medicine arrows made millions every year. Although it has its own availability, it has not been particularly powerful."

Xia Sheng didn't know what muskets and cannons were, but he believed in Du Zhongxiao. With Du Zhongxiao's personality, the performance of these weapons would only be told to Xiao Li, and would never be exaggerated. At this time, a lot of gunpowder was used in the Song army, and there were special gunpowder in the capital to provide gunpowder for the army. However, due to the formula, the gunpowder was mainly used to ignite and smoke, and was used on bows, crossbows and arrows. Further, it was to mix feces and poisons in it to make medicine arrows. Although those who failed to hit it died immediately, the arrow wound was extremely difficult to heal. As for launching projectiles with flame nitrile, Xia Sheng couldn't think of what was going on.

Out of caution, Xia Xu sent someone to ask Du Zhongxiao, and Du Zhongxiao replied to a letter. Although Xia Xu still didn't know the specific principles of muskets and cannons in the letter, it can be seen that Du Zhongxiao is very confident. Du Zhongxiao's confidence is enough for Xia Xu.

Wang Yiyong was a military general and a relative of the foreign country. Although he served as the Privy Council for many years, he had been avoiding the specific affairs of the Privy Council. After going to court, he found an excuse to go home. At this time, Xia Shu had only two deputy envoys Pang Ji and Gao Ruonne beside him.

Seeing that both of them were a little guilty, Xia Xu said, "We must believe in the generals and border ministers, and we will never exaggerate them. The border ministers who came to the capital to report things, so we can't wait for the outside of the city like this. Let's go to the familiarity. This is a matter of the Shufu, so there is no need to let the Zhongshu sign."

Gao Ruonai bowed his hands and said nothing more, and lowered his head to make a move.

The person who submitted the documents to the palace was Tongjin Yintai Division. Under the Privy Council, if you had a familiar letter, you could send it in immediately and bypass the Secretariat. Xia Feng could not afford to spend time with Jia Changchao, so he thought of this method to let the officials in the court see first. The familiar letter was a draft edict, and after being sent to the palace, the seal was used as an edict for the emperor. The edict issued by the Secretariat and the Privy Council issued an edict, each with its own system. For general government affairs, this is actually the itinerary arranged by the two governments for the emperor. If there is no special reason, the emperor will arrange the agenda according to this.

If it is the Secretariat, the familiar case must be drawn by the Sherenyuan, which is a procedure to restrain the prime minister. The Privy Council is in charge of military information and pays attention to confidentiality, so there is no such trouble. Gao Ruone is drawn up with the familiar case, Xia Shu takes the lead, and the three of them use seals to seal the background. Wang Yiyong can skip such a small matter.

In the inn, Wang Kai and Du Zhongxiao were drinking bored and sat opposite each other, a little depressed. When they came, they were in high spirits and thought they had made great contributions and should come to the court to receive rewards. Unexpectedly, after waiting outside the city for two days, there was no movement at all. When the war with Dangxiang was started, Wang Kai also entered the capital, so how was it like now? At that time, as long as the city gate was not closed, he would immediately enter the palace and report directly to the emperor.

After drinking a glass of wine, Wang Kai sighed: "We rushed all the way and didn't dare to delay at all, but we didn't expect to stop at the city of Bianjing and rest in the inn. Zhijun, what do you think this is? How much business is there in Tanglong Town ahead? How can we afford to delay it when we go back!"
