There are many precedents in the Song Dynasty where ministers have made great achievements and the court praised their parents for their good teaching. Although Han Chonggui is Han Qing's grandfather, it is reasonable to give him part of the reward that should have been given to Han Qing.
In addition, Han Chonggui has been home to recuperate for many years. No matter how high the imperial title is given to him, it will only cost him more money and food. It will not affect the current balance of forces.
Therefore, Wang Dan and Kou Zhun lost the motivation to oppose, and both praised the officials for their wisdom. However, Zhao Heng, the official of the Song Dynasty, felt a little sorry for his "Wang Xuance", thought about it, and continued to add, "Originally, I still
I was worried that Han Qing had insufficient experience, so I only allowed him to serve as a judge for some criminal and prison matters and as a judge in the Crane Control Bureau. Now it seems that I have worried too much. Just remove the two words "power", otherwise, he will not be rewarded for his merits, and it is inevitable that he will be let go.
Other young people have lost their enterprising spirit!"
In the Song Dynasty, there was actually little difference between temporarily holding a certain position and formally holding a certain position. Therefore, Kou Zhun and Wang Dan did not object to Zhao Heng's proposal. They just emphasized again that the success of the party matter was very lucky.
If the time and place were changed, and if someone else were to execute it, failure would almost be inevitable.
After hearing this, Zhao Heng disapproved in his heart, but on the surface, he smiled and nodded.
The atmosphere between the monarch and his ministers was restored to harmony. Soon, the reward for Han Qing and other meritorious personnel was discussed, an imperial edict was written, and together with the canonization of Li Dezhao, they were handed over to Yousi for execution.
In order to prevent the Liao Kingdom from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Kou Zhun and Wang Dan immediately arranged for people to send the imperial edict to Xiazhou as quickly as possible after leaving the palace. At the same time, they sent the order to the two major forces stationed in Fuzhou and Yanzhou.
The Song border army was heavily armed. If Xiazhou was attacked by the Liao army, it would go straight into the clouds and cut off the retreat and food routes of the two armies.
There were no secrets at all in the Song Dynasty. Before the imperial edict left Bianliang, the governor of the Southern Liao Dynasty had heard the contents clearly, and then sent it back to Shangjing at a faster speed.
At that time, the Liao Kingdom was still regent for the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo. This woman was as wise as Wu Zhao, but not as vicious as Wu Zhao. They had already sent out an elite army to depose Li Dezhao while his position was not stable, and to establish another opposition.
The "submissive" person in the Liao Kingdom was the co-leader of all the party ministries. Hearing that the Song army was on the alert, he decisively ordered to recall this army.
Therefore, Li Dezhao was very grateful when he received the news of the Song Dynasty's canonization and the Liao's withdrawal. He immediately wrote a note of gratitude and sent his young brother Li Dexin to Bianliang in person. At the same time, he also sent a horse.
One hundred pairs and five hundred carts of green salt were used to celebrate the birthday of Zhao Heng, an official of the Song Dynasty.
Although according to custom, Zhao Heng's return gift will definitely be double the gift. However, since Li Jiqian separated the regime with the support of the Liao State more than 20 years ago, this is the first time that the lord of Xiazhou has paid tribute to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The symbolic meaning of a birthday gift far exceeds the actual value of the gift. The boost to the morale of the military and the people is also immeasurable.
Therefore, after careful calculation, Da Song Dynasty is still making a steady profit!
As for Li Dezhao's request for the establishment of more trading places in his gratitude list, in exchange for Dangxiang's refined salt and livestock, Song Dynasty's porcelain, lacquerware, grain and other daily necessities, Zhao Heng, a Song Dynasty official, happily "granted" without much hesitation.
.
However, when the imperial edict was specifically formulated, Brigadier General Kou added a quota to the annual export quantity of ironware. However, due to the smuggling capabilities of the merchants of the Song Dynasty, this quota was basically in vain.
When the imperial edict "approving" both parties to open additional trading venues was delivered to Xiazhou, Han Qing also quietly returned to Bianliang with Dou Rong and Xu Ziling.
Although he has the title of Founding Earl on his head, his official official position is still the prison official at Jingdong East Road and the judge of the Crane Control Bureau at Jingdong East Road. Therefore, the final destination of this trip is Qingzhou, which was not needed originally.
Take a detour to Bianliang.
However, now that his heart has been completely opened, he believes that he has inherited the body of the passionate scholar Han Jiajun and benefited from his connections, so he cannot pretend that the other person's former family has nothing to do with him.
Therefore, I simply dropped by home to meet my grandfather Han Chonggui and fulfill the obligations of someone else's grandson.
Even if he accidentally exposes his fault, relying on his contribution to the Song Dynasty, he can have a serious talk with the old man and come up with a solution acceptable to both parties.
Facts have proved that his worries were completely unnecessary.
As soon as they met Han Chonggui, without saying a word, he hit him on the head with a cane. While beating him, he cursed: "You bastard, you still remember that you have a family?! I thought you didn't think you were a member of the Han family."
There are descendants! Get out of here, get out of here, be your executioner, be your founding uncle of Xiping, I don’t have an unfilial grandson like you!"
Although the scolding voice was loud and the crutch was knocked off, it was not even strong enough to scratch Han Qing's itch.
Han Qing still had to bite the bullet and prepare to take a few hits before hiding. When he felt the licking feeling under the old man's crutches, his heart suddenly became sour. He raised his head and begged for mercy with choked sobs, "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. You must never do anything wrong."
Don't be angry. I also want to be a good person and come back to see you!"
"You're like a human being now? I think you're still the same virtuous person as before. You don't even know how high the sky is!" After hearing this, the old man put his cane on the ground and made a thumping sound.
"Grandfather, calm down. Han Lang also followed your old teachings and pledged his life to the country. He dare not look back distractedly." Dou Rong was afraid that the old man would become angry and sick, so she quickly stepped forward, knelt beside Han Qing, and defended him.
"Are you that girl from the Dou family?" Han Chonggui turned his eyes to her and immediately changed his expression, "Get up, get up, don't kneel with him. He has been a child for more than a year and has not even bothered to write a few letters to me.
If you don't punish him severely, it's hard to get rid of the anger in your heart. And it's enough for you to accompany him from birth to death, there is no need to accompany him to be punished!"
After saying that, he immediately ordered the maid next to him to lift Dou Rong up for him. Immediately, he looked at him up and down, and the more he looked at him, the more satisfied he became, "You must be tired from the journey, go to the west courtyard to have a rest. At least this guy has some time before he comes back.
, remember to write to me and tell me, asking me to free up the courtyard specifically for you."
Immediately, his eyes turned to Han Qing again, and he raised his hand and used the cane again, "Did you not write this last letter to me if it wasn't for your wife? I should have thrown you away in the first place, you evil deed."
Drown in the Bian River!"
As soon as the word "daughter-in-law" came out, Dou Rong was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head. Fortunately, Han Qing's aunt was beside her, and she stepped forward, took her hand, and took her to the west courtyard to settle down.
As soon as Dou Rong left, Xu Ziling immediately became abrupt. After much hesitation, she stepped forward and paid homage to Han Guogui as Han Qing's concubine.
Han Guogui had already learned about the origins of her and Dou Rong from Kou Zhun and others. He quickly smiled and ordered the servant girl to help her up. After a few words of comfort, they were sent together to his grandson.
The West Cross Courtyard created by Han Qing.
After the two women left, he also lost interest in beating Han Qing again. He paused with his crutch on the ground, frowned and asked, "Why don't you get up? Do you want me to help you with my own hands? You evil deed, He’s not good at anything else, but his ability to coax women is as good as three of them!”
"Thank you, grandpa!" Han Qing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up quickly, and reached out to hold Han Baogui's arm.
He didn't know what kind of relationship he had with the other person. However, he could clearly feel Han Guogui's heartfelt love for him.
Therefore, he was willing to receive those "ticks" just now. At this moment, holding Han Baogui's arm was like holding a relative of his previous life.
"Humph! I'm not old enough to walk yet!" Han Guogui glared at him fiercely, but did not throw his arm away. Instead, he let him support him and returned to his seat.
After he sat firmly on his butt, the old man looked Han Qing up and down again and asked impatiently, "Why are you so anxious to come back, you scoundrel? Didn't I tell you in my letter not to return to Bianliang in the near future? .Why did you turn a deaf ear to my words again?"
