Di Qing escorted Anon and others back to the capital. This was a great woman. Nong Zhigao attacked the city and seized the village, and used his strategies. After Nong Zhigao established the Danan Kingdom, he established himself as the Queen Mother.

He is quite similar to Wu Zetian, good at making decisions, and has even more tragic talent. He likes to eat children, kills children many times, and makes various delicious dishes as a meal. After entering Yongzhou City, people had babies at home. When they heard that Nongjun came, the whole family changed their fear of the baby being stolen and treated it as Anon's food.

Nong Zhigao was defeated, and Anon continued to resist at Temodao. If Di Qing had not gone, it was this family's resistance that caused the Song army to lose troops and generals in Temodao.

Liang Shi was not very concerned about this.

The court was fine whether Anon, Nong Zhigao's younger brother Nong Zhiguang, and Nong Zhigao's children were killed or released. When he arrived at the capital, could this old woman jump out of three feet high?

Zheng Lang painted maps in Lingnan and built beautiful Lingnan, but he didn't care much.

The more beautiful the painting, the better. If you want to paint it more beautifully, you will finish painting in Guangdong, Guangxi, Liangjing, and Kuixia. It is impossible to paint it for more than ten years. In more than ten years, God knows what it will become. Now, no matter what measures Zheng Lang takes, it will not hinder himself. On the contrary, he hopes that Zheng Lang will paint carefully and longer.

To Di Qing, he was not kind or ill-hearted. He was a good and flexible minister. He would not give Di Qing a Privy Councillor like those sour scholars, and the sky of the Song Dynasty would collapse. Do you really do this?

Di Qing is just one of his most important chess pieces.

Lingnan is warm as spring in early winter, but the capital begins to be cold.

On the fourth floor of Fanlou, Liang Shi invited someone. The eunuch, Shi Quanbin, was not too evil. Strictly speaking, he was a relatively excellent eunuch.

It was him who followed the army south as the supervisor.

But he was different from Wang Fu. He did not point fingers or forcefully interfere in Di Qing's military operations. He did not have the courage. Behind Di Qing was Zheng Lang. Moreover, it was a place in Lingnan. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. He offended Di Qing too much. Di Qing killed him, but no one knew how he died.

He did not interfere, and Di Qing also had no need to offend a prince close to the eunuch. The two got along happily.

When Shi Quanbin and Di Qing came back, they asked Liang Shi to invite him to Fanlou quietly.

After sitting down separately, Liang Shi smiled and said, "Eunuch Shi, it's very hard to go south this time."

It was not easy to talk about serious matters at first, Shi Quanbin understood this set. He also smiled and said with a sharp voice: "That's right, what's the matter? If Xingzhi hadn't invented the medicine in the south and cured malaria, I might not have come back this time."

"But even though you have suffered, you have made great military achievements this time. Since the Battle of Gaolianghe, our army has never broken through the enemy's big city, including Zheng Xingzhi. That time, it only defeated two small cities in Xixia. When the troops arrived in Lingzhou, they retreated. Shanchan Prefecture City, such an important city, you can actually capture it. This time the achievements are comparable to the military achievements of the Tang Dynasty."

"I dare not, I dare not. That's mostly General Di's credit and has nothing to do with our family," Shi Quanbin actually made Liang Shi blush with praise.

"It doesn't matter. Without your cooperation, how could Di Hanchen have made such a military achievement? You cooperated well with each other. I was overestimated and admired it very much. I deliberately bought a Xia Guo sword and gave it to the Shi Eunuch."

"Then I will accept it," Shi Quanbin said.

Although the Xia Kingdom sword is expensive, it is not a priceless treasure. There will be no trouble when you accept it.

So they had a great time talking, after drinking for three rounds and food for five flavors, Liang Shi said, "Eunuch Shi, do you think there are no civil servants in the temple today?"

Shi Quanbin was confused and thought for a while and said, "How can the court lack civil officials now?"

He asked a question.

Since Emperor You, all the civil officials have become more and more profound in their literary attainments, and they can be said to be brilliant. Confucius praised him as a saint. Otherwise, if Confucius came to the Song Dynasty at this time, his writing style would not be the best.

"How many military officials are good at fighting?"

Shi Quanbin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"But look at the surrounding areas of my dynasty, Jiaozhi, Dali, Xixia and Khitan, one is stronger than the other, and one is more conspiring. What am I worried about?"

"Oh, Your Majesty is a little too focused on culture and over military affairs." Shi Quanbin sighed.

Actually, it is not. Zhao Zhen is also reflecting, including delegating power to local governments, no longer making plans to form formations, and rewarding some soldiers who have made meritorious contributions. However, facing the crazy literati group, Zhao Zhen could only choose to surrender again and again.

There are not many people who can see this, only a few, but Liang Shi is one of them.

"Eunuch Shi, what if Di Qing was appointed as Privy Councilor? Not only would there be an important official who was proficient in military affairs be in charge of the temple, but it would also greatly stimulate the morale of the soldiers fighting for the country."

"This..." Standing in the literati group, this is a crazy idea, but Shi Quanbin is just a eunuch. From his perspective, he doesn't think anything is wrong. Just the Privy Councilor and the second prime minister of the country, what's wrong with it?

The most important thing is that as the supervisor of the army going south, he got along very harmoniously with Di Qing and had close relationships. As the prime minister, first, the court highly recognized the military achievements of going south, and he would also benefit from it. Second, he would benefit from the relationship between Di Qing and him.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked, "Grand Liang, why did you say this?"

"I am just a burden to the country, but I am the deputy minister of the East Prefecture, so it's not a good thing if I have it."

"But I can't say anything."

"It's okay, as long as the Eunuch Shi speaks, I will cooperate in the East Prefecture. This is not for individuals, but for the country!" Liang Shi said seriously.

It seems that Liang Shi and Di Qing had no contact, nor had friendship. On the contrary, if according to normal procedures, if Pang Ji fell down and Gao Ruonne would definitely be the prime minister, then Liang Shi could be promoted to Privy Councillor.

Shi Quanbin let Liang Shi fool him. After drinking for three rounds, the dishes were five flavors, and the fun was dispersed.

Back in the palace, Shi Quanbin muttered Liang Shi's theory in front of Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen also received a memorial from Zheng Lang at this time. Zheng Lang said it very vaguely. It is hard to say directly, you can't let Di Qing serve as Privy Councilor. It's too weird. Di Qing hasn't set off yet. How did you know that Zhao Zhen intends to let him serve as Privy Councilor?

I only said that I should protect Di Qing well.

Zhao Zhen himself was also thinking deeply, as Shi Quanbin said. The country seemed to be very good, but if Zheng Lang successfully developed the south, the country would be better. But in fact, even without Zheng Lang, the financial income and wealth of the Song Dynasty would be far better than any dynasty.

What is dangerous is not the country, but abroad, one is the Khitan and the other is the Western Xia.

Shi Quanbin muttered repeatedly, and Zhao Zhen was moved, so he asked Pang Ji in the capital: "I want to use Di Qing as the Privy Councilor. Pang Qing, what do you think?"

Pang Ji was clever, how could he say this?

Let Di Qing be the Privy Councilor. That is seeking death, not being the Privy Councilor.

Di Qing once served as a subordinate of Fan Yong, Fan Zhongyan and Zheng Lang, and also served as a subordinate of Pang Ji. Pang Ji has always loved Di Qing and Pang Ji. He didn't want to see Di Qing have a miserable end.

Secondly, Di Qing was the Privy Councilor, what should he do?

Of course, you can't ask directly: "Your Majesty, Di Qing is a military general in the Northwest system, and I am also a minister in the Northwest system. Zheng Diezhao is a civil and military partner. Zheng Lang is so scared that he is so scared in the south. That's Zheng Lang, I am not as good as Zheng Lang. I am the prime minister, Di Qing is in charge of the Privy Council, and he is also a minister in the Northwest system, with a superior and subordinate relationship. Are you afraid that there is another word from outside, Pang Diezhao, a civil and military partner?"

It was wise in a hurry and said, "When Taizu, Murong Yanzhao was in charge of the army and took down Jingnan in one fell swoop. The land of Hunan was thousands of miles, and the soldiers were not bloodless. He was only promoted to the officials and the towns, and granted gold and silk, and did not use the Privy Councilor. Cao Bin pacified Jiangnan and captured Li Yu, but he wanted to ask for a prime minister. Taizu did not say that there is Fenjin in the west and Youji in the north. If you are the prime minister, you will be at the top of the head. How could you fight for me again? You only gave me 200,000 yuan in money. The ancestors valued the reputation of the artifacts like mountains and light gold and silk like dung soil. This is the method that Your Majesty should be the best.

It is also. Qing Feng, who is the power of Your Majesty, can be regarded as a holy heart, and can certainly be praised. However, compared with Murong Yanzhao and Cao Bin's achievements, it is far inferior. Therefore, Qing was used as the Privy Councilor and the Privy Councilor, and Qing was extremely famous and had a great position. It is not known that the border enemy is likely to occur at any time. If Qing makes more great achievements in the future, what official will he be rewarded? Moreover, the Privy Councilor is tall and naughty and has no mistakes, so how can he stop it? It is better to transfer the town and add the chief officials to the procuratorate and give more gold and silk, which is enough to repay Qing's merits."

It’s not that I didn’t allow Di Qing to be the Privy Councilor, there are indeed so many reasons not to be the Privy Councilor.

In the past, the imperial court gave Di Qing the governor of the State and the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He was the chief of the State and the governor of the State and the prosecutor, the chief magistrate, the chief magistrate of Hezhong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, and the former envoy of Xuanhui Southern Court. Have you ever opposed so many top envoys? If you add titles, purple fish bags, fiefs, etc., Di Qing's official title can be added to 17 or 18, and even Zheng Lang has never had this honor.

What Pang Ji said seemed to make sense. Liang Shi suddenly spoke on the side and said suddenly: "Who said Gao Ruonai is not wrong? In April this year, Gao Ruonai went on a patrol. Just because the people were watching, the guards in the road beat the people to death. He also raised Hu Hui's book Shi Hui's madness and danger, which is not considered excessive?"

"Where did this happen?" Zhao Zhen asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, this is my fault. At that time, Zheng Lang fought in the way of Qian. The victory and defeat were unpredictable. The country was in trouble. When the censor heard about Gao Ruonai's mistake, he wanted to impeach him. I thought that the country was generally the most important and that the ministers were not easy to change more to avoid delaying government affairs. He tried to persuade him to suppress the matter."

"Liang Qing, what does it have to do with you when you get up? This is a general manifestation." Zhao Zhen could not guess Liang Shi's intentions at all, and finally guessed it. However, the raw rice had already become ripe porridge at that time. Zhao Zhen was unhappy. In the end, Liang Shi got his wish, but before the seat was hot, he pulled it down. It was not because the minister impeached Liang Shi, but because Zhao Zhen reacted.

Liang Shi said again: "Cao Bin and Murong Yanzhao are the case. I think it is wrong. At that time, the country was the founding autumn and there were many opportunities to make achievements. Now the country is the autumn of success. It is not easy to compare. In addition, Liang Mian Pingnan only made small contributions and established himself as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Di Qing was the main contribution, and he also had the achievements of special mobilizing Taoism and Zhen Dali, which far exceeded Liang Mian. Now he is located under the ranks of Liang Mian. How can the soldiers of the country have made meritorious? "

Pang Ji was so angry that he wanted to beat Liang Shi, but he was not good at taking action. He explained: "Liang Shi was only a civil official. The dynasty used civil officials as prime ministers, and they would not endanger the security of the country. Once the military officials were Privy Councilors, they would not have committed serious crimes. Moreover, I did not want Qing to be Privy Councilors, but they did not want to be famous for the country, but also to preserve Qing's fame. Qing started his career and was suddenly promoted to Privy Councilors. Both China and foreign countries thought that the dynasty had not had such an example. Now Qing has made great contributions, and those who speak can stop. If the reward is too much, it will be a summoning of the people again."

It hits the word!

In this regard, Pang Ji and Zheng Lang had the same thoughts. He did not want Di Qing to be the Privy Councilor, not to harm Di Qing, but to protect Di Qing.

I don’t understand the general principles, talk nonsense, talk nonsense, and spread rumors and make mistakes.

Facing this group, even Pang Ji and Zheng Lang were scared. Don’t forget that they are scholars and officials themselves, and they can’t speak. Di Qing can’t write!

Zhao Zhen suddenly realized this problem, thought for a while, and said, "Let's go."

But when he returned to the palace, Shi Quanbin had another statement. Liang Shi was not easy to say publicly, so he could use Shi Quanbin to say it. So he discussed it repeatedly, which made Pang Ji lose his mind when handling government affairs. He was very thoughtful and seemed to convince Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen asked, "What if I was appointed as the official of Di Qingzi?"

Pang Ji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In the past, Wei Qing made contributions, and all four sons were granted the title of magistrate. Although our dynasty may not be compared with the previous life, it will not be very harmful."

Zhao Zhen recalled the disputes over the past few days, and Gu Pangji smiled and said, "You have discussed the day before yesterday to eliminate the Qing official and have a deep understanding of the matter, which is far-reaching."

"I dare not."

Liang Shi was anxious when he saw this. He secretly sent someone to tell Di Qing about these conversations, hoping that Di Qing, the person involved, would distinguish himself.

Di Qing was shocked at first, saying that it was fake. He was fighting to the death. For the sake of glory and wealth. The Prime Minister of the East Mansion should not think about it, but why can’t the Prime Minister of the West Mansion do it? However, he thought of Zheng Lang’s repeated instructions before leaving, and thought of Pang Ji’s affection for him. Others don’t have much to say, and Pang Ji doesn’t hate him. So he kept silent.

Liang Shi is in trouble. We rack our brains to fight for the position of Privy Councilor for you. You are fine and don’t say anything.

So he used the second move, met Shi Quanbin again, and said to Shi Quanbin: "Pang Chun is so hateful."

Shi Quanbin snorted coldly.

This matter was initiated by himself, which made him feel embarrassed in the palace. If it weren't for Pang Ji, wouldn't Di Qing have become the Privy Councilor earlier? It would be abominable.

Liang Shi said again: "In terms of loyalty, how many of the civil officials are loyal to the country?"

"No one in a hundred miles!" Shi Quanbin said angrily again. Looking at what those civil officials did, Nong Zhigao's army had not arrived yet, they fled one by one. Nong Zhigao's first retreat, and then began to plunder the people's wealth and ointment, loyal, loyal, and loyal.

"Can Zheng Xingzhi be given an additional title?"

Shi Quanbin shook his head, and all Zheng Lang's official titles were almost at the top. How to add a title? Is it impossible to add a title to a king of a different surname?

"Why is Zheng Xingzhi still working hard for the court, managing the south, and working hard? Wang De's hard work is far less than Di Qing. He served as the Privy Councilor for many years, and the state was dismissed and went to the local area to serve. Is Wang Deyong complaining? Is the country harmful? Is Di Qing not as loyal as Wang Deyong?"

"I understand that the words Pang Chunzhi said are all cunning words."

"Yes, Pang Chunzhiming wanted to protect Di Qing, but he actually didn't want to see the military ministers as prime ministers. However, he only emphasized culture over military affairs. When the country's foreign troubles came, he could be dealt with by real civil officials? Look at the battle of Shaanxi, the four ministers on the border, Zheng Xingzhi valued military generals, Xingzhi won, and the other three ministers had no signs of victory. Pang Chunzhi was the worst. It was nothing else, and it was also rejected by military generals. The country, how could it be that if these people were tormenting?"

"I understand," Shi Quanbin "suddenly enlightened", had a meal, and immediately returned to the palace and went to Zhao Zhen to have a breath of wind.

Liang Shi wrote another secret letter to Zhao Zhen.

Pang Ji was nonsense. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were many famous generals, but today, only Di Qing was the general who could make a move. Moreover, this was not the era of our ancestors. We were invincible and were able to conquer everything. Facing the Western Xia and Khitan, we had fewer victories and more losses, and the national situation was even more worrying about internal and external troubles. Di Qing was given more, and the soldiers could strive for progress, and the Song Dynasty still had hope of revival. When Di Qing was too weak, the soldiers' hearts were also neglected. What could the court do if there was more money? In the past, 300,000 Khitan, but now we gave Khitan 500,000, and changed the tribute to the cap. Should we give Khitan another million to the concession ten years later? The country is in danger.

Pang Ji did not speak, so Zhao Zhen did not think about Pang Ji's words. Liang Shi's memorial was quite reasonable. With Shi Quanbin's complaint, Zhao Zhen was confused. As the prime minister, Pang Ji was good at governing the country, but as a border minister, his policies were slightly conservative. Are he really jealous of his subordinates and did not want to serve his former subordinates as Privy Councilors, and he almost wanted to be on an equal footing with himself?

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He sent someone to investigate Gao Ruonai's affairs. Hu Hui was indeed unruly, but I don't know who recommended it. After checking, it was recommended by Gao Ruonai. This problem is not big. Who dares to say that he must be very accurate in identifying people, and he must be a talented person. The key is the case below. He will kill the people after he drove a way. He would not let the guards do this. Some good prime ministers took the initiative to go to the ridges by the field and talked to the people, such as Zheng Lang and Han Qi. After investigation, Zhao Zhen was very unhappy and finally made the decision to dismiss Gao Ruonai.

The two prefectures were in charge of the government affairs. After talking for a while, Zhao Zhen suddenly said to Pang Ji: "The former rewards for Pingnan are too low. Today, Di Qing is appointed as the Privy Councilor, Shi Quanbin was appointed as the inspector, Gao Ruonai was promoted to an official, and with a recent scholar, he placed it on the imperial court and summoned Zhang Yaozuo to Xuanhui Court. You must not have any objections!"
