Ye An not only resisted the attack of the party members in Liangzhou Mansion, but also conquered the city of Ganzhou, taking the gateway to the Western Regions into his pocket. For a time, the people in the northwest of the Song Dynasty were greatly boosted.
However, Chen Lin, who was a supervisor, tried her best to impeach Ye An, saying that he was disobedient to the supervisor, had no regard for court rules, was arbitrary and did not listen to dissuasion.
This was a very serious impeachment for the general who led the army. The Song Dynasty valued military power very much. Even as a civil servant, Ye An would be impeached by the censor.
What is completely unexpected is that, as the general judge of Liangzhou Prefecture, Pei Chengwen actually went to Shu to impeach Ye An, saying that he had recruited people from other prefectures as soldiers without authorization for promoting Ganliang affairs.
This is also a pain point for the local government. Even if you, Ye An, get the credit, it is equivalent to us providing soldiers! As for how much benefits Liangzhou Prefecture's trade has brought to them, no one will say it.
Anyway, credit should be shared among everyone, especially such a huge credit.
According to Chen Lin, the behavior of these state officials was very similar. With Ye An's character, he would never agree, and even went to the court to participate in the performance. But who knew that Ye An did not do this, but instead went to the court repeatedly
Try your best to share the credit for Ganliang's victory with others.
The Privy Council, Zhongshu Province, Hezhou and Huangzhou, and even Kaifeng Mansion were all written down in the merit book by Ye An. Not only that, Ye An also admitted that he had too much power and was suspected of being pampered, so he asked the saint to have his military merits confiscated.
Chen Lin felt that Ye An was crazy, and the court soon received news. The ministers impeached Ye An, and there were many who took advantage of Ye An's military glory, but no one praised Ye An, and the sage even issued an edict.
, Ye An's job title has not changed, and his title has not changed in any way.
If we say the only thing that has changed, it is that the number of households has increased from 500 to 1,000, but the number of households in Shishi is only 400. For those who have Shishi, one household will be fined per month.
For twenty-five cents, Ye An only had ten more cents a month.
Although Chen Lin doesn't want Ye An to become a powerful person, she also doesn't want Ye An, who has made such great achievements, to be wronged. At present, Ye An's people's aspirations are that the people in the entire northwest respect him as "Commander Ye".
When the imperial court's rewards spread to the northwest, how will the people's hearts change? How to guess the imperial court and the Tianjia?!
Angrily, he looked for Pei Chengwen, who was the punching bag he could find right away, but when he arrived at the government office, he saw Pei Chengwen drinking and composing poems with Ye An, saying he was unhappy.
"Hey, Pei Tongpan is really tolerant. After impeaching Ye Hou, he can still pretend as if nothing happened?!"
Pei Chengwen smiled bitterly, glanced at Ye An, and then said to Chen Lin: "Master Chen has really unjustly dismissed the official. Who do you think in the northwest is dissatisfied with Ye Hou? Even if you give me ten courages, I will not dare to impeach Ye Hou! Not to mention this
The credit of Po Tian is here."
"If you don't impeach, will anyone dare to force you to impeach? Now the people in the northwest are celebrating a great victory. When the news comes, who can not complain about Ye Hou? Where is the majesty of the imperial court, and where is the majesty of the saints and officials?"
Pei Chengwen pointed at the smiling Ye An and said with a wry smile: "It's true that Ye Hou impeached him more than me, Shangshu. You see... Ha, I also drank too much today, so I left the official. Ye Hou, Mr. Chen also invited me
Do it yourself."
Seeing Pei Chengwen running away like a flying horse, Chen Lin looked at Ye An suspiciously and said: "What kind of medicine did you buy in the gourd? Why do you want Pei Chengwen to impeach you and give away the credit?"
Ye An found a clean wine cup and placed it in front of Chen Lin. He filled it with wine and then said with a smile: "If I say it's a matter of business and go away, do you believe that I have hidden merit and fame?"
Chen Lin curled her lips: "Other people don't know who you Ye An is, how can a certain family not know you? How can you be so generous without any benefit?!"
"Those who know me are high officials! In fact, I am sending a great gift to the officials, not to the saints."
"Huh? I can understand your self-deprecation. I know you don't want to leave the northwest and you want the civil and military officials in the court to benefit from it. But what kind of gift can you give to the officials?"
Gu Rong
Chen Lin was a little puzzled and asked about her doubts. Ye An took a sip from the wine cup and approached old Chen Lin with a smell of alcohol: "The king has dismissed the prime minister, and the only one in the court, Lu Yijian, is the prime minister. The saint is right
He has been dissatisfied for a long time, but the official government needs the help of veteran ministers. Although Lu Yijian has his shortcomings, looking at the overall situation, he is still a trustworthy minister!"
Chen Lin nodded slightly: "That's what I say, but what does it have to do with the official family?"
Ye An smiled: "The presence of Lu Yijian can make the saint a little more wary. Seeing that in the ninth year of Tiansheng, it is said that Zhongshu Sheng plans to report to the officials and change the name to "Ming Dao". What do you think this means?"
"Mingdao... this... is scary! Are you saying that Lu Yijian plans to ask the official to take charge?!"
Ye An smiled and said nothing. Seeing Chen Lin holding his hand and not letting go, he smiled helplessly and said: "You have to let me say it? Maybe so. I avoid military exploits like this just to let the officials do it properly. I won't
Because I have repeatedly achieved military exploits, I have given the saint more excuses."
"Yes, yes, yes! It's very appropriate for Changsheng to do this!" Chen Lin laughed loudly and drank the wine in the cup.
But in fact, Ye An knew that no matter how hard Lu Yijian and the civil servants tried, Zhao Zhen would not be able to take charge of the government before Liu E's death... He only said this to comfort Chen Lin. In fact, Ye An's only purpose was to continue to stay in the country.
Northwest, promote sweet and cool things.
In the past, Ganzhou was occupied by the Uighurs, and Puhui Trading Company and Siquhe City were only developed in Liangzhou Prefecture. Now that Ganzhou is also included, it is the best time to develop commerce and open up the Silk Road.
The trade routes in the Western Regions have been opened up, and the Western world is a brand new market. As long as Ganliang is still in the hands of the Song Dynasty, wealth will flow in like water from the floodgates.
The best way for past dynasties to maintain the northwest is to rely on the accumulation of wealth. Only in this way can this slightly desolate land become a place of prosperity.
Once prosperous, it means that the northwest will pay a large amount of taxes and wealth to the central government. Of course, the court will pay attention to this land. Why has every dynasty since the Han Dynasty continued to strengthen construction in the northwest? Because the money comes from there!
Ye An also adopted the same strategy. He knew that only by being useful to the Song Dynasty could the northwest region survive for a long time and maintain a strong army. Otherwise, even if he captured Ganliang, it would be useless and he would lose it sooner or later.
Chen Lin left with satisfaction, feeling a little relaxed and comfortable. He had not been so happy for a long time since he arrived in Liangzhou Mansion.
Under the black night sky, Ye An stared at the brightly lit Liangzhou Mansion in a daze. The construction of the city had begun again. Tall towers had been erected, and the construction of buildings in the city was also stepping up. It was a prosperous scene.
But she didn't have much time. Liu E could stay in her position of supervising the country for at most three years. After three years, the political situation of the Song Dynasty would undergo earth-shaking changes.
The times are advancing, and changes are about to begin. Mr. Fan is probably already gearing up, and he cannot stay in the northwest forever. As long as Zhao Zhen succeeds to the throne, that will be the time for him to return to the city of Tokyo.
A plush cloak was draped over his shoulders, and Ye An regained his old smile: "I knew you would come, how about it? Isn't it very fulfilling to watch Liangzhou City transform from being insignificant to what it is today?
feel?"
"Yes! The vitality that bloomed in this land even I didn't expect to be so strong! But what are you worried about? Are you worried about leaving?"
Ye An nodded, but Qin Mumu smiled and said: "When did you lose confidence in yourself? Even if you leave this land, you will still continue to bear fruit, right?"
"Well, that's true." Ye An shrugged, then turned to Qin Mumu and smiled: "Should we think about having children?"
Qin Mumu nodded seriously and said: "That's right!"
