Northwest Lu announced victory and informed the people of Bianjing by galloping fast horses through the capital.
Dong Fei proclaims himself a minister!
Recover Huangzhou and Taozhou!
The news spread throughout the streets.
Two scholars were drinking in a teahouse on Mahang Street, and one of them said: "I am boasting about my world-shattering achievements and regaining a Huangzhou and Taozhou. Is this not to allow the central government to take the credit outside and continue to confuse the saints?"
?"
Another person said: "Now that China is under control but it is invading the barbarians, the gain outweighs the loss. In the past, the market exchange law made every family sell their land, every house sell their house, and everyone buys cattle. It is inevitable that there will be no land, no house, and no cattle to sell.
They cut down jujube and mulberry trees, demolished the houses and sold the wood for fuel. They gave up the people of China but sought a barren land."
"Yes, even if he is like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what's the use? It's not like he will be infamous forever. Isn't a posthumous title with the character "武" nice to hear? It's not as good as Emperor Wen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something flying towards them and hitting their table.
But after hearing a bang, a bowl of fast drinks was scattered all over the table.
The two of them saw that what they had smashed was a large copper teapot used by the shop assistant to pour tea.
The two of them asked in shock and anger: "Who is it? Like this?"
After the two of them finished speaking, they saw a tall, tall man in his thirties looking at them with an indifferent expression.
The two of them saw that there were several attendants standing next to this person who were looking at him eagerly. They did not dare to say anything on the spot. They just said something insulting and polite and left the restaurant in embarrassment.
"Zihou, why are you so angry and disturbing your and my enjoyment of drinking wine?"
The one who was talking to the side was Lin Xi, who was also acquainted with Taichang Liyuan, and the person who just threw the teapot was the Inspector of Military Weapons, who knew how to make imperial edicts.
Zhang Dun and Lin Xidao said: "Today's scholarly conduct is so corrupted. If all the scholars are so ignorant and courageous, and they don't even have any bones and blood, the country will be in danger. No wonder Wang Xianggong must have 'one morality'."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Oh? Zihou, I thought you were venting your anger on Sanlang."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xize and said, "How could that be?"
"Don't be surprised if you laugh."
After Zhang Dun and Lin Xi sat down to have wine again, Lin Xi said: "This time you take the Nanjiang land, build Yuan, Yi and other states, and Kemei Mountain

.But Zhang Jie said that you killed too many people in Nanjiang. You must have been annoyed by that."
Zhang Dun's eyes tightened and he said: "The disadvantage of this dynasty is that Wen Tian and Wu Xiu, during the Qingli battle, Xixia also forced this dynasty to this predicament. Soldiers are responsible for national affairs, and their methods are all used to the extreme. They cannot be described as despicable and cruel.
, do these scholars still think that they are as romantic as writing poetry?"
"It is really unimaginable that the country has not been boosted by Mr. Wang. However, those short-sighted and ignorant people are holding back here. How can I not hate it. I am really sad for Mr. Wang, and even more sad for this great country. I really don't know that it is in the hands of such people.
How many more days can we hold on to?"
Lin Xi sighed and said: "I heard that the government ordered you to set up a special commission to inspect the city and make changes. Who do you think is telling the truth between Zeng Zixuan and Lu Jifu?"
Zhang Dun said: "Since the government and the family have appointed me to handle the matter, I will only know after I examine it myself!"
Lin Xidao: "I think it doesn't matter what the truth is. In terms of means, Xuan is not as good as Jifu Duo."
Zhang Dun glanced at Lin Xi and asked, "Are you helping Jifu as a lobbyist?"
"No! No!" Lin Xi smiled and clarified the relationship, "We are both from the same hometown as Jifu, we are just happy to see the results."
Zhang Dun knew that Lin Xi was not a well-established person in the city. If he was really Lu Huiqing's lobbyist, this would not be the case.
Zhang Dun said: "If Lu Jifu wins this time, the reform can survive. If Zi declares victory, the reform will be in danger!"
As he spoke, the surrounding area became lively. Members of the Bow and Arrow Society took to the streets to celebrate, and the people of Bianjing took out firecrackers to celebrate.
Zhang Dun said: "Three... the salvation is quite popular among the people."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Of course, during the heavy rain in Bianjing that year, he saved a lot of people... Having said that, I would like to thank him for his contribution to leveling the river and Huang this time. Do you admire him?"
Zhang Dun laughed and said, "What's the point of envy? It's like climbing a mountain. The climber is already very high. Looking left and right, he can still see the majestic mountain above it. I don't have to envy him today, and he doesn't have to envy me tomorrow.
."
The two laughed.
At this moment, a person in the wine shop said: "No wonder it rained heavily a few days ago. It turns out that it was because the Northwest won the war, not because of the reform."
…
And in the Chongzheng Palace.
"Your Majesty, it rained heavily the day before yesterday. It was because of the victory in the northwest."
The officials nodded deeply, and this time Zhang Yue sent troops to conquer the two states in one go.
"This time we conquered Huangzhou and Taozhou. Since our army sent troops to Xihe in the third year of Xining, it only took four years to conquer Tongyuan Army, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Xizhou, Hezhou, Minzhou, and now plus
Taozhou and Huangzhou are seven states and one army in total."
After the officials learned of Zhang Yue's great victory in the northwest, they immediately painted Huangzhou and Taozhou on the map of Xihe in their room with the scorching color representing the Song Dynasty.
In four years, Zhang Yue defeated the Song Dynasty and conquered seven states and one army. This was an unparalleled achievement.
The officials' determination to reform had wavered before, but now they were firm again.
At this time, Wu Chong, who was involved in politics, said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yueshang Shuyan has been using troops in Xihe for a long time. Now the soldiers and horses are exhausted, and the imperial coffers are short of money. It is the time for the country and the people to rest. Wait for another three to five years.
After the country is stabilized, we will choose good generals and lead the three armies to attack Xia Yi. The hatred of Xueren Temple and the hatred of Qingli!"
The official heard the words and said: "That's it! Pass the order, Xihe will stop the troops, Zhang Yue will return to the capital immediately, I have important use!"
Lu Huiqing was happy and worried as she listened. What she was happy about was that Zhang Yue had completely preserved the new law this time. What she was worried about was that after Zhang Yue returned to the court, how could he use his skills to compete with him?
Lu Huiqing looked at Wu Chong and thought, by the way, the father-in-law and son-in-law are both inside and outside, how can the official family agree?
At this time, Wu Chong said: "Your Majesty, the scrofula on my neck has become more and more painful recently, and I am not qualified for my political duties. I hope that your Majesty will allow me to take an official position to recuperate from illness! I can't thank you enough."
After hearing this, Lu Huiqing realized that Wu Chong was willing to step down from his position for the sake of his son-in-law's career.
The official said: "Wu Qing, I know that you are suspicious of your son-in-law, but now that the country is in a difficult time, I will use talents in any way. You and your son-in-law must stay in the court to assist me.
"
Wu Chong wanted to refuse.
I don't know what the official said: "You don't need to say more. Now that Prime Minister Wen has resigned, the West Palace is vacant. I had previously said that Chen Shengzhi would return to the court and serve as Privy Council, but now I plan to use Wu Qing. This is also a small way for me to repay your son-in-law.
Contributed to the opening of borders for the country."
Wu Chong was so surprised that he was speechless.
Lu Huiqing on the side was also shocked.
The officials did not let Wu Chong retire, but instead promoted Wu Chong from the position of political advisor to the privy envoy to take over the vacancy left by Wen Yanbo.
The privy envoy is juxtaposed with Zhongshu Pingzhangshi, and it can be said that he has been promoted from deputy prime minister to prime minister.
Wu Chong was so grateful that he could not speak. He refused firmly for a while, but seeing that the officials refused, he said that he was not qualified enough and begged the officials to let Chen Shengzhi and he be the privy envoys.
The officials agreed.
After Wu Chong accepted the offer, he said with emotion that he had supported his son-in-law along the way, but in fact, he had relied entirely on his son-in-law for promotion along the way.
