Chapter 279 Ask you when you will be here, don't linger when you come (Part 1)
Before five o'clock, Chen Ke and his son arrived at the Tailu Courtyard, and naturally became the focus of attention from all officials.
It’s a hot time for new teeth, and no one would be stupid enough to make sarcastic comments about them.
Besides, Chen Ke has just reached the rank of weak, and has already been promoted from the sixth rank to a court official. It is almost inevitable that Xuan Ma will become the prime minister in the future. Who would want to offend him for no reason?
Therefore, what Chen Ke heard were words of praise and kind words, and what he saw were enthusiastic faces.
However, seeing him being surrounded by everyone and looking like a young man with success, many people did feel sour. They had no choice but to do it. He was already a court official at the age of 20, but it took them more than 20 years to go from selecting people to being a Beijing official to becoming a court official.
Years ago, I am now in my fifties and sixties, on the verge of retirement, and I still have to be behind this young man when I am on duty. I am really envious and jealous.”…
But there are also many people who are really happy. In addition to acquaintances, most of them are fellow villagers. Once every four years, thousands of rich people are selected, and a unique tooth appears in Shu. This is the first time. All township parties,
Everyone was honored. It was said that Lu had gone to Chen's house to congratulate him that day. When Chen Ke came back to go to court, people naturally gathered around him.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sichuan was a cultural desert twenty years ago. In the 70s and 80s since the founding of the People's Republic of China, not a single Jinshi was born. Therefore, in the past twenty years, all the Jinshis who came out of the Fourth Road in Shuzhong
and a strong sense of self-consciousness, feeling that he was conquering the world for Sichuan people.
Although with the Fourth Period, prosperity and culture developed again, Sichuan Jinshi began to flourish in recent years. But the concept of the rural party has not changed. No, all the high-ranking officials from Sichuan came to help Chen Ke, including Wang Jia, Fan
Zhen was also the deputy examiner for his examination. Although the Song Dynasty strictly prohibited the practice of having disciples and teachers, no one could erase this teacher-student friendship.
Therefore, the two high-ranking officials became Chen Ke's guides in the officialdom. Fan Zhen was taciturn, mainly because Wang Jia was giving him guidance. Looking at the sky, Wang Jia stood up and said: "It's your first time to go to court. Come with me to pay homage to all the gentlemen."
"
Chen Ke followed Wang Jia and first went to the duty room of the Political Hall. Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang and others all paid homage to Chen Ke in accordance with official etiquette. Naturally, the officials had to show their new love for the late students.
They were all very kind-hearted. In addition to congratulations and gentle words of encouragement, they also asked some common questions such as Nian Geng and Kun Zhong.
Of course, as the Prime Minister, Mr. Fu still had to say a few more words, exhorting him: "You are now at the top of the list. The undergraduate scholars follow your lead and the students who are behind you also want to follow in your footsteps. You have the responsibility to lead the scholarly style."
I hope that you will not only make great use of yourself in the future, but also exercise strict self-discipline and revive the increasingly glitzy and hedonistic scholarly style!"
Chen Kewei couldn't help but blush slightly in response. How could he not hear that the rich husband was hinting to himself that his life of frivolity and extravagance was too absurd and he needed to restrain himself.
But for a gentleman like Mr. Fu, he would never let him get embarrassed even if he pointed it out. After saying some words of praise and encouragement, he let him go.
After coming out of the political hall, I turned around and went to the Privy Council room. I thought it was just a routine matter, but unexpectedly, Mr. Han hissed: "Well done, I'm here to talk to you. I want to ask you for advice."
"Your Majesty's words are serious." Chen Ke said quickly.
"Excuse me." Han Qi nodded... knowing that Zhou Shuniu was by his side, he said to Guang Gu, "If Yu Yu has something to do, please go ahead and get busy."
This is to banish guests. Wang Jia said obediently: "I really have something to do, so I won't disturb Mr. Xianggong's conversation." Then he smiled at Chen Ke and said: "It's your blessing to get advice from Xianggong Han. If you want to listen to me, I'll do it first."
gone back."
After Wang Jia left, Han Qi looked at Chen Ke and said, "I've heard for a long time that you are a great person, so I won't show off to the younger generation. Let's be honest and honest."
"I obey." This was the first time that Chen Ke saw this famous tall, handsome and wealthy man. He felt that he was not consistent with the legendary arrogance and arrogance. As everyone knows, that was Han Han ten years ago.
My husband, Han Qi is now three times up and three times down, and he has already curbed his sharpness.
"I've asked someone to copy your recital in Xiao Zhuan Donkey and read it carefully. It's really not trivial." Han Bian didn't waste any time talking to him and went straight to the point.
"Ran Gong has won the prize)"
"It seems that you have put a lot of effort into the situation in the southwest border. Am I right?" Han Qi's voice was hoarse, but it was very majestic because of it.
"Yes!" Chen Ke thought for a moment and replied: "Xiaguan's hometown is located in the western border and is adjacent to Tubo, Dali, Jiaozhi and other vassal states. When studying, I often worry about being a hundred years old, so I have been studying the military, political and civil affairs of the southwest.
, but his qualifications are stupid and he has achieved nothing."
"Don't be too modest! This is a unique skill in the Song Dynasty. It is remarkable that you can study it carefully." Han Qi said: "What do you think of Nong Zhigao's defection to Dali this time?"
Chen Ke's confrontation with the officials that day was actually just general talk. It was more than enough to scare those literary ministers who didn't know the world; but it was not enough in front of Han Yi, who was known as the military prime minister.
So he has to be careful with his words?
After careful consideration, he said slowly: "The lower official thought that Nong Zhigao was as much a nuisance as Li Yuanhao, and the court must not repeat the same mistakes and let him resurface. Now that he has left Guangxi and gone to Yunnan, he is actually like a tree without roots.
The water is the best time to hunt him." He paused and said: "In addition to Nong Zhigao himself, the more important thing is the Dali Kingdom..., the Dali Kingdom is connected to several states in the Song Dynasty, and is connected to Tubo in the north.
To the south is Jiaozhi, which is extremely important to the national defense and security of the Song Dynasty."
Han Yi nodded slowly. Although he did not say any words of approval, his expression was deep in thought, and he obviously attached great importance to his words.
"With all due respect to my official, the land under the jurisdiction of Dali has been an integral part of all dynasties since the Qin Dynasty, through the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties. From the end of the Tang Dynasty to the present dynasty, there was Nanzhao first, and then Nanzhao.
Only then did Dali break away from the jurisdiction of the imperial court. However, due to the strategy of emphasizing the north and neglecting the south, as well as the preconceived misunderstanding of the Dali people, the court has always wanted to alienate them and be wary of them. In the opinion of the lower officials, this is wrong.
"
"Oh." Han Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"Yes, those who are not of our race must have different minds. Regimes established by foreign races, such as the Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Jiaozhi, and even the original Tubo and Nanzhao, all pose a serious threat to our central court. In reality, each of them is alive
The lessons he learned made the court wary and even alienated from Dali, but this understanding is too subjective and arbitrary. Specific issues must be analyzed in detail, and we cannot give up eating because of choking."
"Yeah." Han Qi nodded, indicating for him to continue.
"The imperial court has always regarded the Dali Kingdom as the continuation of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and believed that the Nanzhao Kingdom was extremely aggressive, so they were also dangerous. In fact, Dali and Nanzhao were completely opposite. Nanzhao was keen on expansion, but Dali was keen on internal fighting, and
Buddhism is prevalent in the country, and the people are very close to the Song Dynasty." Chen Keyiyu said at first sight: "To put it bluntly, this is a gentle regime like the Song Dynasty. Their leaders have never wanted to cross the Dadu River.
, posing a threat to our country’s borders.”
"Well." Han Qi finally showed admiration and said, "You can understand this, which shows that you have real talent." The topic changed, but he laughed and said, "But according to what you said, Nong Zhigao must be here."
Dali can't make big waves, so we don't have to worry about it."
"Xiangong is about to be demoted at the examination school." Chen Ke said with a faint smile: "The chaos in the four barbarians started from the disobedience of people's hearts. Therefore, anyone who offends our strong men will be punished no matter how far away they are, in order to shock people's hearts.
It is tempting to say that there is currently a dispute among the three families in Dali. It is unclear whether any family wants to rely on the power of the Nong family. Although the other two families in Li have no intention of targeting the Song Dynasty, they will give Nong Zhigao a chance to stand up. Dali is rich in products and people.
There is no shortage of horses, copper, and iron. If we really let Yizhigao take root, he will be able to make a comeback and return to Guangxi within a few years."
"Furthermore, I have just said that Dali itself is more important than its wisdom. I believe that there are three reasons why Dali should not be taken seriously." Chen Ke pointed out: "First, its products are rich and abundant in our country.
Song Zui(
) are in short supply of silver, copper, and horses; secondly, south of Guangyuan Prefecture is the Jiaozhi State, which is ten times more dangerous than Yizhi. Its people are despicable by nature. Although they bow their heads and submit to the throne, they often have the intention of invading the superior country. If we can conquer it,
Dali can be used to control Jiaozhi. In the same way, Jiaozhi can be used to control Dali. The ingenuity of this application naturally does not need to be explained in detail. Thirdly, conquering Dali is not inconsistent with our national policy, because although it is our ally against Xixia
, but it is based on his personal wishes: once he changes his mind, or his successor Li Xiang Xixia, the consequences will be disastrous, and behind the back of Tubo, Dali controls the tea-horse trade, which is not only its important supply
The ground is even more threatened by the edge of our back. After we conquer Dali, no matter who Tubo Zanpu is, we must consider the danger of being attacked on both sides and being cut off from support, and we dare not fall to Xixia."
"Good! Good!" Han Qi applauded and said, "The title of Number One Scholar is well-deserved. This position of Privy Councilor will belong to you in the future."
"My husband has given me too much praise," Chen Ke said quickly and modestly.
"I completely agree with the benefits of subduing Fuli." Han Yi said solemnly: "However, you must also know the current situation of the court. It is impossible to start another war and turn Dali into our enemy.
Therefore, what the imperial court can do is just bluffing. In fact, not a single soldier can cross the Dadu River. Under such circumstances, how can we conquer Dali?" After a pause, he said: "Dali has made mistakes and became the Song Dynasty.
The vassal's request is true, but that was decades ago, who knows what their attitude is now?"
"You have to contact them in person." Chen Ke said solemnly: "It's just a good time to use Nong Zhigao's incident to test their attitude."
