Chapter 0419 The monarch and his ministers are grateful
Everything was in order and there was no more danger. Xia You came to return Zhao Yun's orders.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated this incident clearly. The leaders are Yan Mengbiao and Liao Shiliu. These two people were the ones who escaped from the rebellion in Renhe County. Not only did they attempt to cause rebellion, they even wanted to dig up the dikes and break them to release water.
!
Fortunately, your majesty noticed it and sent ministers to suppress it in time, thus avoiding a major chaos. Now, I have killed the two of them. This is the confession of several accomplices. I would like to ask your majesty to review it."
After Yan Mengbiao was killed, Xia You conducted an investigation and asked his body to be identified. When the accomplices saw that Yan Mengbiao was dead, they were all frightened and confessed one after another.
After Zhao Yun read the files, he felt quite scared. He thought that Yan Mengbiao not only wanted to raise troops to cause rebellion, but also wanted to dig up the Xijiang dike and break it to release water. If he succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Very good, keep investigating, keep digging. During the Renhe Rebellion, these two people escaped, but unexpectedly they jumped out to cause chaos again. Don't let any of his remaining members go, lest the spring breeze blows up again."
"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After Xia You left, Zhao Yun ordered people to summon Luo Xing, the governor of the state.
As soon as Luo Xing saw Zhao Yun, he knelt on the ground and said shamefully: "Your Majesty, I was unaware of the police and almost caused a chaos. Please forgive me."
Zhao Yun raised his eyes to look at him and saw that he was bowing his head to plead guilty with a sincere attitude, which made him feel quite satisfied.
Zhao Yun said: "This time the bandit leader wants to break the embankment and release the water. If he succeeds, I don't know how many people will suffer. As the governor of the state, you are personally present at the scene, but you don't notice anything. How lazy and indifferent!"
"I,,,are guilty."
"I originally wanted to dismiss you from your post and send you into exile, but since you still tried your best to investigate and deal with the situation afterwards, I am now dismissing you from the post of magistrate and demoting you to three levels for future use."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
Luo Xing saved his life. Although he was demoted three levels, his life and career were still saved. He thanked Zhao Yun endlessly, and Zhao Yun waved his hand before he left.
In the next few days, Xia You presided over the investigation and arrested hundreds of Yan Mengbiao's men one by one, and then handed them over to the state government for detention and interrogation. Those who were beheaded were beheaded and those who were imprisoned. The incident came to an end.
At the same time, the heavy rain finally stopped, and Zhao Yun's carriage continued to move forward and left Teng County.
The journey was uneventful. When they returned to Lin'an, Zhao Yun was respectfully welcomed by hundreds of officials, entered the city, and entered the palace. Zhao Fan was already waiting to see him in Lin'an.
Zhao Yun sat in the main hall of Funing Palace and received Zhao Fan.
After the monarch and his ministers saw the ceremony, Zhao Yun said happily: "The Qing family has gained a lot during their trip to the Jin Kingdom. I am very pleased."
After saying that, Zhao Yun looked at Gao Shi and said: "Gao Shi, declare the decree."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi agreed, then spread out the imperial edict and said loudly: "Lianghuai East Road appeasement envoy Zhao Fan listens to the edict."
Zhao Fan looked solemn and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Fan, accepts the order."
"In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Fan was awarded the imperial edict. I Shao Ying Jun ordered: The ancient sage hangs down the scriptures, the mines are inexhaustible, and serve the country. You attacked the Jin Kingdom, beheaded the generals and captured the flag, and restored the people. The merits will be in the country and will be beneficial to the future. So
, Zhao Fang, the father of Zhao Fan, was posthumously granted the title of Duke of the State of Hai, with a settlement of 1,000 households. He was hereditary and the title was inherited by Zhao Fan. Special edict, in June of the fourth year of Hengsheng."
After hearing this, Zhao Fan was greatly shaken. He kowtowed heavily and said, "Thank you, Zhao Fan."
Zhao Yun raised his hand to support him and said: "Without courtesy, please get up."
Zhao Fan stood up, his face flushed with excitement, and there were tears in his eyes.
The ancients paid great attention to filial piety, but today, in order to reward Zhao Fan, Zhao Yun even made Zhao Fan's father, Zhao Fang, the Duke of Haiguo, and then let Zhao Fan succeed him.
This title is not only a reward for Zhao Fan, but also an affirmation of his father Zhao Fang, which shows that Zhao Yun sees and remembers the achievements of their father and son.
In the eyes of the world, Zhao Fan earned his father the title of Duke. This is the best reward from a son to his father. It is the embodiment of filial piety. It is so enviable. No wonder Zhao Fan is so excited.
.
Zhao Yun added: "In this expedition, the remaining generals and soldiers will all be rewarded."
"On behalf of the officers and men, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Zhao Yun nodded, then stood up and said, "It's very boring here. The Qing family will follow me to the garden for a walk."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The monarch and his subjects soon came to the garden, and they immediately felt even more close to each other.
Zhao Yun was walking leisurely in front, Zhao Fan was half a step behind and followed respectfully, and Gao Shi and other chambermaids were at the back, ready to serve at any time.
"What do you think of the Qing family's trip to the Kingdom of Jin?"
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yun turned his attention back to business and asked Zhao Fan how he felt about the Jin Kingdom today.
Zhao Fan was naturally prepared for this problem. He raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this time I attacked the Jin Kingdom, the biggest feeling I felt was that the Jin Kingdom was slow to respond to the deployment of troops, and the soldiers and generals were weak and no longer as brave as they used to be.
.”
Zhao Yun turned to look at Zhao Fan and joked: "Oh, if that's the case, why did the Qing family retreat in a hurry? Why not fight thousands of miles away?"
Zhao Fan was a little embarrassed when Zhao Yun teased him, and showed a shy smile.
Zhao Fan said: "Your Majesty, this attack on the Jin Dynasty is not the Northern Expedition of the whole country, so I have no intention of fighting. At that time, my troops were approaching Xuzhou City. The Jin general Wanyan Sabu had a strategy. I designed to lure him out of the city, but he
If we don't go out, I'm afraid that the Jin Kingdom's reinforcements will arrive and be outflanked by them, cutting off our retreat, so I retreat. If Xuzhou is successfully captured at that time, I will definitely continue to harass the Jin Kingdom."
Zhao Yun asked again: "Who is the commander of the Jin Kingdom's reinforcements?"
"I heard that it was Monk Wanyan Chen. I have never heard of this person and know nothing about him, so I acted with caution. I hastily withdrew my troops and did not engage in a rash fight with him."
Zhao Yun thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "Soldiers, important matters of the country, must not be ignored or careless. It is right for the Qing family to be cautious. I am very pleased."
Having said this, a touch of sadness and loss appeared on Zhao Yun's face, which was obviously associated with Bi Chongzhi's conquest of the Qi Kingdom.
When Zhao Fan saw Zhao Yun acting like this, he knew that Zhao Yun must be thinking of the war in Qi State.
Alas, Zhao Fan and Bi Chongzhi used troops abroad at the same time, but the results were completely different. The world is so different that one cannot help but think of comparisons.
However, Zhao Fan did not mention the affairs from Qi State. In his opinion, don't guess the king's thoughts. Zhao Yun had his own ideas about the conquest. Even if he wanted to talk about it, Zhao Yun had to speak first before he could say it.
The monarch and his ministers came to the pavilion in the center of the garden. Zhao Yun sat down and said: "What do the Qing family think about the Northern Expedition? I want to hear the Qing family's heartfelt opinions."
Zhao Fan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Zhao Yun to ask this question. He said: "I and my late father have been thinking about the Northern Expedition for a long time. If there is an opportunity, I will bravely be the vanguard, kill the generals and capture the flag, so as to
