Chapter 198(1/2)
Duke Zhenguo! One update!
Song Huizong was stunned.
Cai Jing and his group of people in the court could not believe it.
Especially Cai Jing, during the period when Wu Zhi left, he secretly colluded with some court officials and asked them to report some bad things to Wu Zhi in the court.
It was Cai Jing who wanted to use this period of time to suppress Wu Zhi.
After all, he is the prime minister and still has some energy.
They said that Wu Zhi bullied the people on his way to Liao Kingdom and committed some acts of bullying and dominating the market.
Of course, they have no evidence, they are just saying some rumors.
The purpose is to crack down on Wu Zhi's prestige.
It was all Cai Jing who was manipulating it, and Song Huizong certainly didn't believe it when he heard this.
They were also hit on them, and then there were rumors to arrest them directly.
This led to Cai Jing's people in the court not daring to speak nonsense anymore.
In addition, Zeng Bu was also trying his best to defend him, saying that they were simply nonsense and had ulterior motives. Wu Zhi bet on his own life and went to Liao Kingdom. Cai Jing hid in the court and did not dare to go. He was still in a state of shame and made Cai Jing lose his temper.
Cai Jing knew that it would be a short time to crack down on Wu Zhi, so he thought about Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures and hoped that Wu Zhi would ruin the matter.
As long as Wu Zhi fails to do things well, they will have a chance to get Wu Zhi.
However, Wu Zhi is back today.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were taken back.
Cai Jing's mood fluctuated violently, but Wu Zhi has made great achievements now.
Seeing this situation, the old thief Cai Jing immediately knelt on the ground: "The official family, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have finally been taken back. This is a major event that shocked the world. Your Majesty, this matter is to be told to the world and to comfort our ancestors. After so many years, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have returned to the Central Plains. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
The old thief Cai Jing immediately knelt on the ground and felt excited.
The other court officials also shouted.
Song Huizong stared at Wu Zhi tightly, but he didn't even look at Cai Jing. He saw the map of Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures again, and he cried with joy.
After all, this great achievement depends on Wu Zhi!
Looking at other court officials, Song Huizong was filled with contempt and was a bunch of waste.
Song Huizong held Wu Zhi's hand and tears in his eyes: "My loyal minister, Wu Aiqing has worked hard all the way. I want to hold a celebration banquet for you. All the officials in the court will be present, and I will reward you well!"
Song Huizong held Wu Zhi's hand and shook, and his scorching eyes made Wu Zhi feel a little unbearable.
Isn’t it just the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? What a big deal, Wu Zhi will do great things in the future.
What is one of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?
The Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom, these territories are even larger.
Their supplies are more abundant.
The Song Dynasty is just the beginning now.
In short, everyone in the court attended a celebration banquet congratulating Wu Zhi.
This time there was a lot of noise.
Many princes and nobles, as well as princes and princesses, held banquets in the palace.
First, it was to celebrate Wu Zhi, and second, it was to celebrate the return of Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures.
The people of the entire Bianjing City were also talking about it.
"This time the court is going to worship ancestors. I wonder why?"
"I know, it seems that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the Central Plains were taken back by Taiwei Wu!"
"Impossible? Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures belong to the Liao Kingdom. How could he come back just by saying that he would come back!"
"There was a while ago that Taiwei Wu went there, and it seemed to be for this matter!"
"However, after being lost to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for so long, what's the use of taking them back?"
One hundred people smiled and said, "You don't know this! These Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are an important strategic place. They are also the important military brigades since ancient times. They can resist the invasion of the nomadic peoples on our Song Dynasty. With this land, the Song Dynasty has the danger to defend!"
"Otherwise, if the Liao Kingdom gathers troops one day, it can directly attack Bianjing City! With the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a defense, it will be different!"
"You guys understand that way!"
"So that's it! In this way, Taiwei Wu did a big thing!"...
Such a scene is being staged in many places in Bianjing City, and countless people gathered to talk about it with relish.
After worshiping ancestors, Wu Zhi was incredible for a while.
Song Huizong was with Zhao Fujin at Yanfu Palace, and next to him were Tong Guan and Yang Jian.
At this moment, Song Huizong encountered a problem and did not know what he should reward Wu Zhi.
After all, Wu Zhi made such a great contribution.
Zhao Fujin smiled and said, "Father, Taiwei Wu made a divine cannon and took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the Liao Kingdom. Such a great contribution should be promoted to Taiwei Wu!"
Upon hearing this, Song Huizong nodded: "But now the Grand Marshal Wu is already the Grand Marshal, and he is the Prime Minister above. Now Cai Jing and Zeng Bu are ranked as the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. This..."
Song Huizong suddenly had the idea of getting rid of Cai Jing and Fu Wuzhi ascended the throne.
After all, Cai Jing doesn't seem to be of use.
However, he did nothing wrong, and Song Huizong could not just get rid of the person.
Suddenly, Song Huizong changed his mind and thought: "It's better to give Wu Taiwei, for example, give him a hereditary duke and be named Duke Zhenguo of the Song Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Tong Guan and Yang Jian took a breath.
It’s okay to be the throne of duke, but it’s hereditary!
In other words, his descendants of Wu Zhi will receive this treatment.
This is amazing.
This title is usually granted the title from the beginning, only those who have made great contributions are qualified to be enthroned.
It depends on which emperor you follow, such as Taizu of Song, who will give you a good and prosperous life.
Li Shimin was also good in history. After he succeeded, he would still value the meritorious person. He would not attack you or give you heavy responsibilities.
Of course, there are Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang. If you follow him, you can imagine the fate of these two people.
In short, the title of Wu Zhi is quite scary.
In other words, as long as the Wuzhi family does not do any tyrannical rebellion in the future, the title can be passed on from generation to generation.
As long as the Song Dynasty is there.
When he was in court, Song Huizong also praised Wu Zhi many times in front of the court officials.
Wu Zhi did not take any credit. He did not bear all the credit on himself, but attributed it to the Emperor of Song Dynasty. He said that His Majesty would not establish a business department for Wu Zhi, and he would not be able to produce so many things.
Without His Majesty’s permission, the trust in Wu Zhi would not have been recovered today by Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures.
Wu Zhi is a personal elite, but in short, all the good is attributed to His Majesty. In this way, he will only get more benefits.
If you take credit, it seems that you have received a great contribution on the surface, but in fact you have taken all the contributions. How can others live?
This is unwise.
Wu Zhi is much smarter. In fact, even if you say it is His Majesty’s credit, no one can deny that you did it.
A matter of one sentence.
As a result, Song Huizong was so full of peach blossoms that he was excited that his face turned red, and even became a little fluttered by Wu Zhi.
Song Huizong was happy and waved his hand on the spot: "Wu Zhi received the order!"
Tong Guan next to him came up with an imperial edict.
This imperial decree is extraordinary.
Because there was no process of the Song Dynasty system, Song Huizong directly decided to publicly announce it.
The imperial edict in this situation is generally called a zigzag, because it does not have any legal effect and has not gone through the procedures of the Song Dynasty system.
Because the imperial edict of the official family must be passed through the prime minister and the Central Secretariat organization.
If these procedures have not been passed, the Song Dynasty could choose not to implement the edict of Song Huizong.
Especially the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, if they think the drafting of the imperial edict is inappropriate, they can choose to reject it and not pass it.
There were different restrictions on the monarchy in ancient times.
It's just that the situation is different.
Because the imperial edict was actually a procedure under Cai Jing's charge, and the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was Liang Shicheng.
But do they really dare to go against the will of Song Huizong?
