Chapter 276: Biography (Part 2) After the end, ask for the moon
The victory report said that Wang Han, the transfer envoy on Guangnan Road, led his troops to the border of Guangyuan Prefecture and stated the benefits of living in harmony to Nong Zongdan. In the end, Nong Zongdan and his son surrendered to the Song Dynasty. They also petitioned the imperial court to confer Zongdan as a Zhongwu General.
, his son Nong Rixin works for the third class... Of course, the matter is definitely not that simple, but as long as the officials thousands of miles away know the results, as for the process, they can be ignored unless big troubles are revealed.
of.
"Congratulations to the official family." Chen Ke quickly flattered him and said, "Guangnan is finally settled!".
"Yeah, it's been five years, it's not easy." Zhao Zhen sighed: "It can be considered three blessings."
Chen Ke didn't know what Yixi was besides the big competition, but the officials didn't tell him, so he couldn't ask... Later, he found out that Zhao Zhen had been recuperating for half a year, and recently it finally bore fruit - after ten years.
After that, a woman in the palace finally got pregnant!
Perhaps, this is the real reason why the officials are so excited.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"However, I dare not say..." Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen changed the topic and took out a secret report from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Ke.
This was still the report from Wang Han and Xiao Gu. The secret report read: "Zong Dan reported: The barbarian thief Nong Zhigao is still in the country of Dali. He has been traveling to and from Shu. He has heard that he is getting married in Dali, gathering barbarians and making weapons."
, when training to fight, one must not neglect the consideration of the imperial court.'
It was a very important piece of information provided by Nong Zongdan - Nong Zhigao, who instigated the chaos in the southeast and almost became the second Yuan Hao, did not die. Instead, he led the remnants of his troops and fled to Dali. He was also active, not only
He regained his footing, established contact with the upper echelons of Dali Kingdom, and began to actively prepare for another rebellion!
Chen Ke's first reaction was that Marshal Di was so prudent back then. If he had followed other people's wishes and thought that the corpse in the dragon robe was that of Nong Zhigao, he would be in trouble now.
"We must not take it lightly." Zhao Zhen nodded with a serious face: "The vitality of these Yi Di is incredible. As long as you give them a little time, they will recover immediately and be stronger than before." This is the rise of Xixia, which gave Zhao Song
The dynasty had learned a heavy lesson, and officials naturally did not dare to underestimate it.
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded and said, "The officials are right."
"Just why did Nong Zhigao go to Dali instead of Jiaozhi?" Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Ke and said, "You guys haven't told me the reason yet. Chen Aiqing is from Shu. I have dealt with him before, so maybe I can tell you something.
?" Sichuan is close to Yunnan, and Qingshen County is in southern Sichuan. It is not far from Dali. The official really asked the right person.
"Then I dare to speak." Chen Ke thought about it and said: "Assuming that Nong Zongdan's information is true, then why did Nong Zhigao not go to Jiaozhi? I think there are three reasons. The first is historical reasons. Nong Zhigao's father
Nong Quanfu was killed by the King of Jiaozhi. The Jiaozhi people were ferocious and barbaric, and often wanted to annex Guangyuan Prefecture. He was worried that if he borrowed troops after the defeat, he would not make the same mistake as his father."
"And according to what Wei Chen heard in Guangnan back then, the Nong clan was called the 'Xiyuan Barbarians' in the Tang Dynasty. 'Xiyuan' was divided into 'Nongdong' and 'Huangdong'. Nong Zhigao was the Huangdong Nong clan.
In Guangyuan Prefecture, Guangxi, there is another Nongdong Nong tribe, living in Fuzhou and Temo areas, which is in Yunnan. Wei Chen estimates that the two tribes may be more closely related than imagined. And their same tribe is in Dali
The country should have a certain status, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get involved with the upper echelons of Dali so quickly."
The official nodded and motioned for Chen Ke to continue speaking.
"The second reason is the factor of Dali Kingdom itself. Dali Kingdom is located in the southwest border of our country. It has a vast territory and strong strength. And it is not a vassal of our Song Dynasty. It is a kingdom. Nong Zhigao defected to Dali to borrow troops, at least the court
You cannot intervene directly, you cannot enter the country to pursue him at will, and the safety level is naturally a thousand times better than going to Jiaozhi to beg for mercy and risking being killed like his father Quanfu."
"Three. From what I can see, the most important thing for Nong Zhigao right now is not to rebel again, but to gain a firm foothold. His biggest enemy is not the army. After all, as long as they hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the court can do nothing to them.
, what he was afraid of was the Jiaozhi people who were also good at mountain warfare. The Dali Kingdom had met with Jiaozhi many times. And its powerful national power was far from comparable to Jiaozhi. Therefore, Nong Zhigao defected to Dali and could use the power of Dali.
Beware of Cochin."
"To sum up, Wei Chen thinks that it is reasonable and reasonable for Nong Zhigao to go to Dali. There is nothing surprising."
"Well said!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but clasped his hands and said, "You speak more clearly than the people in the Privy Council. Suddenly, my field of vision seems to be much broader!"
"It's because Wei Chen knows Dali better," Chen Ke said modestly, "but the imperial court always has a repulsive attitude towards Dali, so not many people know it."
"Yes," Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Just after I took over the throne, Dali State petitioned for canonization several times. However, in view of the lesson of 'Nanzhao's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty', all the previous ministers were unwilling to cooperate with this ungrateful country.
Dealing with each other." He looked at Chen Ke and said, "What is their situation now?"
"Based on Wei Chen's understanding, it seems that they are completely opposite to Nanzhao." Regarding national policy, Chen Ke had to say cautiously: "However, Wei Chen only heard about it. If you want to know whether the oranges are sour or not, you have to taste them yourself.
.”
"That's right." Zhao Zhen looked at Chen Ke and actually told him about military and state affairs, saying: "What you all want to do is to mobilize a large army and attack from two directions, Sichuan and Guangxi, to force Dali to hand over Nong Zhigao."
Chen Ke nodded. He could talk about military affairs on paper and provide some reference opinions. But when it comes to military and national affairs, how dare he talk too much?
"But many people have concerns." Zhao Zhen said slowly: "The country just suffered a disaster last year. It was a time when the national treasury was empty, the people were short of power, and they were in urgent need of recuperation. If we raise troops again and go to war, it will only make things worse and cause disaster to the people.
"After a pause, he said: "Furthermore, when I look at the map, I see that Dali is not a small country. I also asked the Privy Council that its population, national strength, and military strength should not be underestimated. What is their character? Will our persecution be counterproductive, and instead make us lose weight?
They firmly support the Nong bandits, and even directly raise troops to fight with us? These are all things that have to be considered."
Being afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back is the biggest characteristic of the official Zhao Zhen.
"What does the official mean by saying this to the minister?" Chen Kexin said, it seems that if I don't ask this question, you can talk to me until dark.
"I would like to send a loyal and capable person to Dali as an envoy to find out what is going on. If we can turn the conflict into friendship, hand over the peasant bandits, and maintain the good of the country with the imperial court, it will be a great benefit." Zhao Zhen said slowly: "It is too late.
, and can also provide intelligence for the imperial court to use force."
"Damn, damn, I'm so damn..." Chen Ke couldn't help but cursed in his heart, "Grandma is such a bear, I almost cried with gratitude!" But he forgot that Qiangu Renjun is also an emperor, and the emperor's mind is naturally very proficient. He just slapped himself again and gave him a banquet.
, obviously just want to make myself like a stupid bird, rushing to the road of mission with an uncertain future!
Chen Ke had no objection to going on an envoy, but officials of the Song Dynasty in this era regarded going on an envoy as the most terrifying job. It was a gap from a civilized society to a barbaric society, and he might be killed by barbarians at any time. On the way
If you encounter bandits, you will be killed by the miasma. And if you leave for a year and a half, it will affect your enjoyment of life!
Therefore, he is often promoted to an official position without doing anything. If he cannot escape, the whole family will cry to see him off, as if he will never come back. When he returns from the mission, the whole family will celebrate with their hats and hats, celebrating that he saved his life.
That's why the officials went around in such a big circle to discuss with Chen Ke and want to send him to Dali... In the view of the kind-hearted Zhao Zhen, this is an extremely unethical thing, but he feels that there is no better person than Chen Ke.
Great job, better candidate.
"If the official can be trusted, the minister is willing to take on this important task." The official's explanation could not be more sufficient, and Chen Ke had to agree no matter what. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But my rank is too low, please ask someone else."
Send an envoy."
"This is a matter of details. Let's discuss it later." Seeing that Chen Ke was indeed shouldering his responsibilities, Zhao Zhen laughed happily and said, "Besides, it's still a matter of debate whether the gentlemen agree or not. You can go back and enjoy the glory of becoming a Jinshi first.
, I will call you again when there are results."
"Here." Chen Ke, who was stunned for a while by the officials, resigned obediently.
Looking at his leaving figure, Guan Jia smiled happily and said to Hu Yandui: "One Chen Ke in this subject is enough!"
Hearing the official's high opinion of the boy, Mr. Hu was stunned and said: "It turns out that the official really likes him. I thought..." He was trying to fool the stupid boy.
"There is no reason not to like him." Zhao Zhen said solemnly: "If I don't say anything else, let's just say that what I just said was right. How many people in the whole court can answer it? None!" He said, clenching his fists and happy.
Said: "This is a talent sent from heaven to our dynasty!"
Soon, the official family set up a palace in Jiying Palace and summoned Song Qi and Liu Chang in the palace to determine the final ranking of the top ten Jinshi.
The official played with the ten green picks in his hand and pondered for a long time: "The order must be changed." After saying this, he took up a pen to rearrange the rankings of several people and handed it to them both.
The two of them took it and took a look, immediately wondering: "Guan family, this is against the rules!"
"The rules are set by people. If an official can take the imperial examination, how many years will he be ranked? What if it goes further?" Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "After the interview, I think this ranking is appropriate, so let's do it.
"
Seeing that the holy will was decided, the two of them had no choice but to shut up and go to Chongzheng Hall to fill in the gold list with the final list in hand.
