No one would have thought that Duan Silian borrowed civil servants not through letters of credence, but through letters from home to his sister.

Concubine Duan couldn't see it, but Zhao Xi could see Duan Silian's deep fear between the lines, and the high-spirited feeling when he said goodbye was completely gone.

The entire page, every byte, is full of pleading, not only pleading for the civil servants, but also begging Zhao Xi to spare the Duan royal family for the sake of Concubine Duan.

Sample! The higher you jump, the harder you fall!

The solemn farewell, the smooth borrowing of troops, and the compromise and concession of the mining city's supplies made Duan Silian feel that he was very useful to the country for a while.

It is indeed of some use, but it is by no means as great as Duan Silian imagined.

When he returned to Dali, he summoned his old troops, only to find that he could no longer find any available civil servants. Not only the members of the Yang family of the Gao family, but also the subordinates of his Duan family were missing. There were even no decent scholars in the whole of Dali.

At this time, Duan Silian discovered what kind of Dali the Song Dynasty had left for him.

Even though the borrowed mining town guards obeyed him and indeed established his prestige and suppressed the Wu barbarians, their fear of the Song Dynasty was deeper than before.

The reason why he proposed to borrow a civil servant through a family letter was really because he wanted to borrow the name of his sister.

"Reply to my uncle. The matter of borrowing from civil servants can be discussed, but it is also a matter for the imperial court, and it is not appropriate for the inner court to get involved. Let my uncle write a letter of credence."

"Dali is a vassal state of the country, and the war has just ended. It is what the suzerain should do to use the help of the civil servants of the country to govern Dali."

"I would like to emphasize that it is impossible for the imperial court to allow civil servants to stay in Dali for a long time. According to the old practice of mining city guards, a rotation system will also be implemented."

"So that my uncle can rest assured that through the evaluation of the civil servants, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will use the evaluation of the Dali royal family as a reference for official promotion. The specific details still need to be worked out by the court, after the letter of credence comes. The general principle should be like this."

Zhao Xi is very familiar with this trick of giving a sweet date a slap in the face. The key is that he really doesn't want women to get involved in court affairs, and he doesn't want women to know too much.

Duan Silian was also considered sensible and did not mention the things that were and were not mentioned in his family letters.

By asking Concubine Duan to reply like this, you can also tell Duan Silian to be the king of Dali properly. The dynasty is not asking him to be a puppet. He is the real king of Dali, but he is the same as the palace prince of the dynasty. The only difference is the hereditary system.

In this way, Duan Silian can prepare as early as possible for the country to take back Dali.

Duan Silian should be aware of the situation in Linzhou and Guochaofu.

This is how things are done, and there may be some big twists and turns, but this is necessary.

All historical records cannot present the true history clearly and specifically. Zhao Xi understands this very well.

Those who record history can only know what they want them to know.

For example, the current Zhongshu Sheren can be regarded as recording the daily life of the emperor, but he does not know the secret order Zhao Xi gave to the Southern Expedition Army.

Similarly, he didn't know what the Southern Expeditionary Army did in Dali. All he could know was that Dali first asked for help from the country in the name of a family letter...borrowing civil servants.

Naturally, in the Southern Expedition Army, only a very small number of people knew about the attack and killing of civil servants. Perhaps it was only the executioners who knew about it.

Mr. Lu should know the importance of his work. He is a civil servant and attaches more importance to leaving his name through the ages.

This kind of thing itself naturally has constraints on all participants and executors.

As for the courtiers, or those ministers and scholars who would go to Dali to serve, they originally regarded Dali as a barbarian. In the end, they could not come into contact with scholars in Dali, but it was a confirmation of their understanding.

As for Dali, it was originally in the process of gradually becoming Sinicized. After this time, even Dali has no record of the Southern Expedition of the Song Dynasty massacring civil servants and scholars.

After all of this was completed, looking at each node, Zhao Xi felt that there should be no flaws.

Zhao Xi did not want to bear the reputation of a tyrant.

When Dali's credentials came, they didn't even mention the fact that Dali had no scholars. They were full of gratitude.

Thanks to the State for giving Dali a stable situation, thanks to the State for not killing innocent people indiscriminately in Dali, and thanks to Dali for reducing the damage to Dali when quelling the rebellion.

Anyway, the meaning is the same: everything Shangguo did was right.

Even though Duan Silian was resentful, he could only say this at this time. He wanted to tell the truth, so he had to dare!

Duan Silian was really frightened!

The rebellious Gao family and Yang family were razed to the ground, and the tribal territories that allied with the Gao family and the Yang family to resist the Song Dynasty troops are now full of devastation.

Wherever the Song Dynasty's southern expedition passed, wherever there was resistance, no living adult Dingkou could be found.

When Duan Silian passed by with the guards of the mining city, Wuman, who was originally unruly, could only tremble as he watched them.

In the eyes of the Dali people, this was the troops borrowed by the Duan family from the Song Dynasty. It was the troops borrowed by the Duan family woman who became the noble concubine of the Song Dynasty.

Even the tribe that was originally close to the Duan family also thinks so.

Duan Silian had no choice but to rely on the Song Dynasty.

There is no tribe in Dali that is of the same mind as him. Now he can only use the power of the Song Dynasty to rule Dali.

He is the king of Dali, but he is also the king of Dali in Song Dynasty...

The reason why Duan Silian can still be the king of Dali is because the people of Dali understand the reason why he borrowed troops... After all, when the Gao family rebelled, the various ministries in Dali had limited support for him, Duan Silian.

The second reason is that Taizu of the Song Dynasty drew a line on the Dadu River.

At the same time, the people of Dali were less willing to resist the Duan family's continued role as King of Dali, which was conducive to Dali's post-war governance.

Duan Silian knew very well that he could only rely on the Great Song Dynasty at this time, or he would have to rely on him for some time in the future.

Now he has nothing but the title of king, so what else can he do?

Therefore, the tone of the entire credential is sincere.

He sincerely thanked the Shangguo for everything he had done for Dali. At the same time, he sincerely asked for help from the Shangguo and asked the Shangguo to send civil servants to contribute to Dali's eternal submission to the Song Dynasty.

He didn't even dare to mention the reason for helping Dali in his credentials, and directly replaced the vassal state with a vassal state.

The situation is compelling!

"First let the ministers sign up voluntarily. If there are not enough people to sign up, we will then select from the names of grace and special performers."

"The civil servants stationed in Dali are similar to the guards in the mining city. They all implement a rotation system, with a rotation period of three years."

"In addition, if you are stationed in Dali for three years, it will be counted as five years. At the same time, the rank promoted or promoted by the King of Dali in Dali will still be valid when you return to the country after three years."

"Please note, gentlemen, that the dispatch of civil servants to Dali this time is Dali's first attempt to reform the country. The first batch of civil servants also represents the purpose and sincerity of the dynasty, and also represents the quality of the civil servants and scholars of the dynasty.

.”

"I also hope that when selecting relevant personnel, you will take the principle of not insulting the reputation of the country's scholars and not damaging the country's major goals as the benchmark. Specific and detailed measures will be formulated by the Political Affairs Hall."

Zhao Xi knows what an emperor should do and how to do it.

Even though the details produced by the Zhengshitang were not as good as his own... After all, he had more than a thousand years of experience, so he still let the Zhengshitang do it.
Chapter completed!
