Chapter 678: Give credit to others, take credit for yourself
Guo Kui said that this time, many and many people were rewarded for their meritorious service.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao are ranked first.
Zhang Yue's original official was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, but he was later demoted to You Si Jian. Now he returned to the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to his restoration of his official position.
As for the official position, it was upgraded from Tianzhang Pavilion to be made to Longtuge to be made, and Longtuge to be made was the first among the to be made.
Xixia and Fan people did not understand the official positions in the Song Dynasty. They only knew that those with the word "Longtu" in their title were high officials and were called "Longtu Laozi". When Fan Zhongyan was a direct scholar of Longtuge, he was the commander of the four counties of Shuai, Yan, Jing and Qing.
, all the Tibetan tribes called him Longtu Laozi.
Because of Fan Zhongyan, when the official ordered Zhang Yue to know Xizhou for Longtuge to be controlled, he also wanted to rely on this name to use the power of Longtuge to subdue the Tibetan tribe and control border affairs.
The mission is Zhixizhou, the full name is Zhixizhou Military and State Affairs.
This is Zhizhou.
Xizhou was a newly established military state. The officials appointed Zhang Yue as its magistrate, which shows how much they valued him.
Qinzhou is Shangzhou, and Xizhou is Xiazhou. From Shangzhou Tongpan to Xiazhou Magistrate, this is a normal promotion in the officialdom. However, Zhang Yue was promoted after serving as Tongpan for only half a year, which is an exception.
Zhang Yue calmed down after hearing this. He took a look and saw that Wang Shao was about to speak but hesitated. He obviously wanted to ask Guo Kui but held back.
Looking at Wang Shao's mood, we can see that he is eager for fame. But Guo Kui is also the same. It seems that he knows Wang Shao's thoughts, but he deliberately does not say anything about Wang Shao's official position, deliberately trying to appetize him.
A formal reward must be issued by an edict. Guo Kui just heard the news in advance and really had no obligation to answer.
Guo Kui turned to Zhang Yue and talked about Han Jiang.
Guo Kui's tone was actually a bit gloating.
It turns out that Han Jiang resigned, Zhonger won 11 of the 13 battles with the Xixia, two draws, killed and surrendered tens of thousands of Xixia troops, but because the Liao Kingdom sent troops, they had to abandon the built Luowu City and Funing Fort.
Wait for Liuzhai.
A lot of people's and material resources were wasted, and seven million dollars were spent on sending troops, but not a single inch of land was gained.
The imperial court was very dissatisfied.
At the same time, Han Jiang violated Wang Anshi's wishes in using Fan Chunren, and also opposed Wang Anshi in the exemption law.
Because Han Jiang felt that he could not get along with Wang Anshi, and that his teachings were ineffective and cost a lot of money and food, Shang Shu said that he was responsible for the loss of Lawucheng, so he resigned.
Wen Yanbo would not let go of this opportunity to pursue and fight fiercely, and Shangshu wanted to hold Han Jiang accountable.
After deliberation, the imperial court believed that Zhang Yue and Wang Shao still had merit for being able to capture Lanzhou, Huizhou, Xizhou, and Han Jiang. At least they still killed a lot of people in the battle with Xixia.
In the end, the officials agreed to Han Jiang's resignation as prime minister, and at the same time added a bachelor of Guanwen Palace.
When the prime minister leaves the prime minister's position normally, he will be added a bachelor of Guanwen Palace as usual. If the prime minister is dismissed, he will not be added a bachelor of Guanwen Palace. Lu Gongbi retired from the post of Privy Council, and he will also be added a bachelor of Guanwen Palace, so he knows Taiyuan.
Of the government.
The officials gave Han Jiang this treatment, which shows that he was dismissed rather than dismissed.
The officials asked Han Jiang to know Daming Mansion.
As for Zhonge and other generals who sent troops, they were demoted to one rank.
Lu Dafang, who was under the imperial rule, still knew Yanzhou because his remonstrances were in vain, but he was dismissed from his post and knew how to make imperial edicts.
In another time and space history, Han Jiang, Zhong E, and Lu Dafang were severely punished. Now because the Qingzhou Mutiny did not happen, and the contributions of Zhang Yue and Wang Shao on the Western Front are offset.
Guo Kui was very happy to know that Han Jiang was unlucky.
Guo Kui is simply Guo Banxian, his mouth is as efficacious as if it had been opened.
Guo Kui also told Zhang Yue some news.
Han Zhen, the magistrate of Qinzhou, was ordered to be dismissed from his post in Tianzhang Pavilion because of the killing of his commander Fu Qing.
Zhang Yue's memorial to Han Zhen was a tribute to him, and his words of strategizing were enough to retain Han Zhen's post. He only resigned from his post as economic envoy and returned to the Xijing branch temporarily.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Han Zhen's dismissal was obviously due to Han Jiang's loss of power. However, Han Zhen did kill people, and there was no defense for the matter. It was just that Han Jiang could be suppressed when he was there, but now he cannot.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that with Han Jiang's resignation as Zhao Wenxiang, it also meant that he lost one person to support him. Will his father-in-law turn to Wang Anshi or Wen Yanbo in the future?
But Zhang Yue wondered why Guo Kui was so happy when Han Jiang and Han Zhen were gone?
Zhang Yue suddenly had a thought in his mind and said quickly: "Your Majesty, congratulations to the Lieutenant!"
Guo Kui smiled and said: "Where does this congratulation come from?"
Zhang Yue said: "After Han Jinglue left, it should be Qinfeng Road in Taiweijie Town."
Wang Shao also suddenly realized that Zhang Yue was really sharp, but now that Guo Kui has become his immediate boss, will he still have a good life?
Guo Kui laughed when he heard this and said, "It's really remarkable to sacrifice others."
It turned out that the imperial court had decreed that the Xuanhui Nanyuan Envoy should be appointed, and the Xiongwu Army should retain Guo Kui as the Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy and the General Manager of the Mabu Army to sentence Qinzhou.
This shows that Guo Kui has regained the trust of officials.
Guo Kui, who previously opposed sending troops to capture Lawu City, not only had merit but also had no faults. He also sent troops to cooperate with Zhang Yue and Wang Shao this time to capture Dingxi City and subdue Yuzang Huama's 50,000 troops. Guo Kui also had a share of the credit.
Therefore, he was appreciated by the officials again.
Guo Kui said with a smile: "It's thanks to Shiren that we captured the Three Continents this time, otherwise I wouldn't know where I would be sitting on the bench."
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "I don't dare to take it. The official family has always relied on the Taiwei."
The credit for conquering the Three Prefectures this time was huge. Zhang Yue and Wang Shao definitely deserved the most credit, and Wang Shao was recommended by Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue can be ranked first in the list of merits, but in his memorial he only mentioned a few sentences, and the rest were about the contributions of others.
For example, Han Jiang and Han Zhen supported him in sending troops, Wang Shao, Wang Hou and his son were not afraid of death... In short, no matter how big or small, small achievements must be recorded.
In short, when the Privy Council was discussing the reward, everyone was shocked when they saw the list presented by Zhang Yue. There was such a long list, and hundreds of people were listed in one breath.
How many officials will be granted? How many people will be rewarded?
Many discerning officials in the court could see that when the Taixue brothers of the Su family criticized the current affairs, it was Yan Fu and other five people who directly told him about the trouble. However, Zhang Yue clearly did not know about it in advance, but he shouldered the responsibility alone.
He took all the responsibilities and was demoted three levels in a row.
Now that the three states have been recovered, Zhang Yue should have the greatest credit, but he did not take the credit. Instead, he listed hundreds of people in one breath.
In addition to rewards, merit can also be used to pay for sins.
Han Jiang, Han Zhen, and Zhang Yue, who were about to be punished, all wrote good words for them in memorials and once opposed Hengshan's use of troops. Guo Kui, who was politically incorrect, also regained the favor of officials.
Guo Kui was a man of discernment, and there were many officials in the officialdom who took credit and blamed others for their mistakes, but there were too few officials like Zhang Yue who took credit for themselves and gave credit to others.
He thought to himself, no wonder Mr. Han thinks so highly of this man, he is really very discerning.
However, Guo Kui and Zhang Yue chatted for a long time, but they never mentioned Wang Shao's reward, which really made Wang Shao very angry.
Guo Kui continued to manipulate Wang Shao and said to Yan: "I came here personally to ask the master, is there anything I can help?"
Zhang Yue said: "The Taiwei has also seen that we are short of people here. We are not short of Fan people, but short of Han people. I only have time and airs in Xizhou, but the people below do not."
Guo Kui said: "It's easy. The officials have already allowed the establishment of the Qinfeng Luyanbian Appeasement Department. When you take charge of this department, you can recruit officials yourself."
"But manpower is indeed difficult. We only have so many people in Qinfeng Road. Even if we hear that people are moving to Qinzhou, everyone is afraid of them, let alone Xizhou. Now Qinzhou only has Ci Pei
Confined more than a hundred soldiers."
Zhang Yue said: "Assassination and consignment to the army? Okay, I want both."
Guo Kui said with a smile: "Oh? It seems that Shiren is really short of people, so I will show you a way. I heard that the imperial court is worried about how to arrange the situation. The Guangrui Army who attempted the mutiny in Qingzhou, and Rouyuan Village, the three
The garrison of the capital village."
Zhang Yue said happily: "I also ask the imperial court to send all the officials to Xizhou."
Guo Kui smiled and said: "These people are all tough soldiers and they have participated in the mutiny. Can you control them?"
Zhang Yue said: "Since the Tibetan people can be incorporated into the army, what about us Han people? I will find a way to arrange it."
Guo Kui said with a smile: "Well, then I will go and get these thousands of soldiers for you. If something goes wrong, don't blame me."
Zhang Yue laughed and said: "It's because of my love for the Taiwei. If possible, it would be best for their families to move to Xizhou as well."
Guo Kui smiled and said: "You are really not afraid."
Zhang Yue smiled.
In another time and space history, the Guangrui Army who participated in the mutiny, as well as the garrison soldiers from Rouyuan Village and Sandu Village were later investigated by the court and killed.
When the officials heard that so many people had died, they couldn't bear it, so they blamed themselves and canceled the Spring Banquet in a bad mood. Later, Han Jiang was severely punished, which was also the reason why so many people died in the Gyeongju Rebellion.
Now, not only are these people alive, Zhang Yue wants to recruit all of them and put them in the Xizhou military camp.
Zhang Yue asked: "Who is it that can put an end to the mutiny?"
Guo Kui laughed and said, "Sheren still doesn't know?"
Zhang Yue shook his head. Xizhou was hundreds of miles away from Qinzhou, and it was really difficult for him to get the news.
Guo Kui nodded and said: "You never would have thought that the people who settled this matter were Zhang Zhizheng, the signer of Longzhou, and Zhang Qi, Zhang Zhifu of Xuanfu Division."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but lost his voice when he heard this. He didn't expect that it was his nephew and Zhang Kai who took the credit.
Guo Kui said: "The two of them have gone to Beijing to be rewarded for their great achievements. I heard that your nephew is also very courageous and fearless. On that day, the Guangrui army rebelled and wanted to rob the original commander Wu Kui. It was your nephew who did it alone.
He joined the rebels and persuaded Wu Kui amidst the chaos of swords. He also guaranteed with his life and property that the court would never pursue the matter and ensured the safety of the soldiers."
Zhang Yue's face turned pale after hearing this. Zhang Zhi was desperate for his life, taking such a big risk.
Guo Kui said: "After listening to what your nephew said, everyone in Guangrui's army believed it. Afterwards, Wang Guangyuan decided to use the Tibetan army to massacre all Guangrui's troops who participated in the rebellion.
"But your nephew sacrificed his life and put a white blade across his neck, saying that if Wang Guangyuan betrayed his trust, he would die in front of him. In the end, Wang Guangyuan had to compromise. Your nephew was afraid that Wang Guangyuan would regret it, so he moved into Guangrui's army to fight with the soldiers.
We live and eat together."
"It can be said that the survival of the Guangrui Army today is all due to your nephew. Speaking of which, I admire you very much."
Guo Kui was filled with emotion when he heard this.
