What should I do if there is a lack of military officers?
Those who kill ten enemies will be promoted to Wu Shicheng. Those who kill the enemy generals will be promoted to the troupe.
There were too many people who made contributions in the Northern Expedition this time, and the positions that were vacant were not enough for Liu An to promote a low-level officer.
Half a month later, when the prisoners escorted from Hebei Road arrived in Bianliang, Wen Zhongshu and Fan Feng brought their respective troops to Zhending Mansion.
In addition to these two people, there were two others coming.
One person, Wang once brought a group of new Jinshi from Bianliang City, while the other was the emperor's consent, Li Qinglian came.
Liu An was unable to bring his family when he led the army to fight.
But if you inspect the emperor, you will have a concubine beside you to take care of him. This is the emperor's grace.
Li Qinglian did not come alone. She brought a team of more than 300 musicians, eighty singing and dancing girls, and auxiliary personnel.
The night when Li Qinglian arrived, Zhending Prefecture Camp posted a notice.
The Zuixianju Orchestra will perform in the Zhending Prefecture Camp for five days in a row. The merchants from Bianliang donated money to come to work hard.
Tens of thousands of soldiers were like chicken blood, logging wood and building platforms, busy and busy.
Liu An held a banquet to invite Wen Zhongshu and Fan Feng.
Li Wen and Fan were not accompanying him. Both Wen and Fan gave great gifts to Li Wen and invited Li Wen to attend.
After sitting down, Liu An asked: "Shu Wen, how about the court?"
"All officials are walking on thin ice! You killed a little too ruthlessly. There are more than 300 officials from both sides of Hebei who offered apology, and more than 100 people were escorted to Beijing. I would like to ask, if there were enough officials to make up for it, wouldn't there be any serious mistakes in staying at the office? You would have escorted all of these people into Beijing."
"No!" Liu An answered very simply.
"Really not?"
Liu An nodded seriously: "It really doesn't matter. If you don't give anyone a chance, who will be willing to explain it? Misfortune, serious crimes, lenient for those who confess and report, and those who don't give it to others will be strict."
Wen Zhongshu asked again: "Do you want me to come and go around, or do you really come and check it out."
This question is interesting.
Liu An laughed dryly: "Of course, I really come and check it out. How to cooperate, I, Liu An, will definitely cooperate."
When Fan Feng was about to say a few words, Li Peng suddenly spoke: "Like this evil, you should be merciless."
Wen Zhongshu picked up the wine glass: "Mr. Li said it right, you should be merciless. We will review the files tomorrow. If there are any person who argues for fraud, he will be punished severely. The criminals who are escorted to Beijing should be recovered."
"Very good." Li Ying raised his glass and responded.
There was no more communication at the banquet, after all, Wen Zhongshu had worked very hard all the way.
When he returned to his past place, Li Wen stopped Liu An: "Wen Zhongshu is wondering whether you are eliminating dissidents. I told him that this is what I mean. He promised to continue walking down your direction and not out of line."
Liu An said: "My teacher, it is impossible for the government of the world to be clean. Power is an opportunity for people to be greedy for money. No one can stop this, but rules can reduce the greed of power."
"rule?"
"Students have heard a little story. There are ten prisoners on a small island who fight for food every day. Finally one day, a clever manager came up with a solution, which is to ask the person in charge of the meal to get the last bowl."
Li Ying just thought for a while and understood the connotation of Liu An's story: "It seems that this matter can be handled, but I have some tricks."
Li Weng has experience in formulating rules.
In fact, there were many officials in the Song Dynasty. Just a county magistrate who went down to the county could actually earn about 540 guan and 40 shi of rice in a year. The court provided him with several coachmen and servants. Speaking of which, a county magistrate lived a good life.
Officials above the fifth rank are already truly wealthy.
He is a third-rank or above, he is a rich man.
Li Weng was very excited by Liu An's words, and he strides back despite saying hello to Liu An. He is ready to start to conceive the rules to make officials more diligent, honest, more attentive, and more loving the people.
These were originally Li Han's lifelong pursuit.
Liu An said silently in his heart: "Mr. I'm really sorry."
Liu An felt a little apologized because he was establishing his authority by reorganizing the two routes of Hebei this time.
One day in the future, when Liu An attacks the capital officials in Bianliang City, those people will be afraid before they make any moves.
For the future of the Song Dynasty.
By the way, a new round of investigation in Zhending Mansion is about to begin, but something big happened in Bianliang City.
Wang Xun, to be precise, is a fake Wang Xun.
This guy is very obedient, and Cui is even more obedient.
Therefore, the former King of Goryeo and several important figures of Goryeo Jin clan wrapped their heads with lime, added spices, and then a large amount of treasures were transported to Bianliang City.
The emperor was shocked.
"This, this, how can this be!"
A minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward: "The officials, I dare not tell any lies. The Goryeo envoy stayed in Yingbin Garden of the Ministry of Rites. The ministers of the heads looked at them one by one, and it was indeed true."
The emperor pondered what happened.
This time, no one knows it.
No one knows what really happened. Pan Weixi's official documents have not been sent to Bianliang yet, so he did it on purpose.
"Officials, I think I'll first appease me, and then send someone to investigate."
"Go."
The emperor's head was a little confused.
Why did the palace change happen in Goryeo? According to the letter of the Goryeo envoy, the execution of the nine Jin clans was not a trivial matter.
The emperor was confused, but he was scared.
At this moment, the emperor called the three prime ministers into the palace.
The three prime ministers already knew about this, so without the emperor's words, Lu Mengzheng said first: "Officials, I think you should be cautious about this matter."
"I know." The emperor said to himself, this is nonsense.
Lu Mengzheng continued: "Goryeo is already a vassal state of Liao. Suddenly, the palace changed to pay tribute to our Song Dynasty. Although this matter is gratifying, it is also a worrying thing. The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have just formed an alliance and negotiated. Now that Goryeo has changed, I am worried that the Liao Dynasty will use it to be unfavorable to our Song Dynasty."
"Officials, I think the Liao Kingdom will not raise troops, but will definitely send envoys. This is indeed troublesome."
Kou Zhun also agreed with Lu Mengzheng's statement.
The emperor looked at Xiang Minzhong. Xiang Minzhong understood that the emperor was waiting for his own opinions, so Xiang Minzhong said: "It is better to do this matter. Let's send it first when the Liao Kingdom has not sent envoys."
"How to send me? What do you say when I went to Liao Kingdom?" The emperor felt even more and more confused.
Kou Zhun said, "Call Liu An."
"He can't handle this." The emperor did not think that Liu An could deal with such emergencies.
But Kou Zhun said: "Liu An and Liao have just completed peace talks. I think that Liu An will first talk with Liao. If I can't talk, I will go there."
"I have to do this." The emperor thought to himself that there was no way to do this.
Chapter completed!
