The official said: "I have read all the reward lists reported by the two governments."
"For example, Wang Shao's younger brother Wang Xia Tui'en was promoted to Jiangning Prefecture's Facao to join the army. Wang Shao's eldest son Wang Hou was promoted to the third rank and became a Huizhou military promotion officer due to his military merits. Zhang Yue's eldest son Zhang Gen Tui'en was promoted to Secretary of the Province.
The school secretary, Zhang Yue's nephew, Zhang Zhi, has been promoted to Taichang Cheng. I have confirmed all these."
The same is true for the system of extending grace.
Zhang Yue and Wang Shao regained the entire territory of Xizhou, which was a great military achievement. If they continue to serve as officials and reward them, it will definitely cause too much controversy, but it is easy to be kind to their family members, nephews and brothers.
While Jing Sili and Wang Junwan moved to the third rank in Wuzidu.
Next, when discussing the rewards given to Gao Zunyu, Zhang Yue and Wang Shao, several ruling officials ranked Gao Zunyu first, so the officials could not help but say a few words.
Everyone knows how high Gao Zunyu's achievements are.
Wang Anshi reported: "Your Majesty, although Gao Zunyu's contribution was not his first, he was still on good terms with Wang Shao and Zhang Yue, and it was not his obstruction. The initial attack on Lintao City was also his first contribution."
After the officials read Li Xian's report, how could they know the truth behind Gao Zunyu's capture of Lintao?
He just cared about the other person's face as his uncle, so he couldn't tell him directly.
Wang Anshi and other ministers did not say that they were concerned about their own appearance, but the officials themselves were not very sensible if they did not say it. If they did say it, the ministers would secretly call themselves a coward.
The official said: "I originally ordered Zhang Yue to build Qingping Fort and Gao Zunyu to build Male Stronghold. As a result, Qingping Fort was built, but Gao Zunyu repeatedly asked for delay, saying that Male Stronghold was close to Xixia Dianji and it was necessary to mobilize the army from Qinfeng Road.
, you have to rely on other people."
"Now that Zhang Yue has built the Qingping and Weiyuan Fortresses, Gao Zunyu has accomplished nothing. How can he be the first to make such a contribution? If Gao Zunyu is allowed to serve as Xihe's pacification envoy again, he will be laughed at by everyone in the world. I will not allow this memorial.
!”
Wang Anshi said: "Then I will promote Gao Zunyu to be the envoy of the Western Shang Dynasty and the governor of Rongzhou! Now Cao Qiao is just running around and adding weapons. Such a reward is not an exaggeration."
The official nodded. Now that Gao Zunyu's status was higher than that of Empress Dowager Cao's younger brother Cao Qiao, it was indeed not aggrieved. In this way, he could still have business relations with the Empress Dowager.
The official said: "It's accurate! Which official should Zhang Yue reward?"
Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Yue can be rewarded with a purple robe. He will know the military affairs of Xizhou and Hezhou! He will also be given the "Imperial System Offensive and Defensive Map", "March around the Pearl", "Martial Arts General Essentials", and "Shenwu Secrets"
”, “Fengjiao Jizhan”, and “Four-Road Battle and Restriction” each one.”
Purple robes are worn by officials of the third rank and above, while Fei robes can be worn by officials of the fifth rank. Originally, Zhang Yue, as an official of the emperor, once rewarded Fu Fei, but now he rewards purple robes.
But the magistrates of the Song Dynasty wore purple robes, but this was called fake purple.
The so-called fake purple means that court officials can wear purple robes when they go to local magistrates to show their dignity, but when they return to serve in the court, they must return the purple robes. The original color of their robes will remain the same.
As Zhang Yue was the magistrate of Xizhou, he could wear a purple robe, but it was just a fake purple.
Now the purple robe is given as a reward, it is a real purple robe and not a fake purple.
At this stage, it almost reached the rank of official. In the Tang Dynasty, officials of the third rank and above were called dignitaries, and officials of the fifth rank and above were called Tonggui.
The so-called nobles in the Manchu Dynasty are noble!
As for knowing Hezhou, he is also famous.
Officials were promoted through promotion, from general magistrate of a small state to general magistrate of a large state, general magistrate of a large state was promoted to magistrate of a small state, and then magistrate of a small state was promoted to magistrate of a large state.
But there are no big states on Xihe Road, only small states.
Of course, after the establishment of Xihe Road, Xizhou was promoted to Jiezhen Prefecture, and in theory it could also be a large state.
However, Zhang Yue knew both Xizhou and Hezhou, which could be regarded as a real qualification to establish the status of the governor of a large state. Of course, the entire territory of Hezhou was still occupied by Mu Zheng, so Zhang Yue's position as the governor of Hezhou was purely a painting.
Anyway, at the beginning, Zhang Yue was the 'Lord of Weiyuan Fort' and dared to be called the magistrate of Xizhou. Now that he has the whole territory of Xizhou, it is not a problem to also know the magistrate of Hezhou.
Of course, this also showed the Song Dynasty's determination to annex Hezhou and made Mu Zheng give up his unrealistic illusions.
The official said: "Such a reward for Zhang Yue's merits is too small."
Wang Anshi said: "It is true, but if you are promoted to an official position, you will be an admonishing official, and if you are promoted to a high school position, you will be a direct scholar."
The admonishment officer can serve as a senior official in the court, and as an envoy outside the capital. When Wu Chong was the deputy privy envoy, he was only an admonishment officer. As for the bachelor of the pavilion, he was already an official of the third rank, so even the purple robe was
No need to give it.
Once you reach the stage of Zhang Yue, it is already difficult to get promoted.
The official also knew that he could not be awarded these two positions for the time being, but he wanted to reward him with more medals, so he said: "Li Xian reported that Zhang Yue had never done anything against the Tibetan people since he was stationed in Tongwei Fort, and he taught the army to love
Every soldier can sing folk songs, and military discipline is extremely strict."
"When his soldiers and horses entered Lintaocheng, all the women of the Fan chieftains gathered around the Han officials and sang songs, saying that from now on, there would be only buying and selling between Fan and Han, and there would be no killing. They would live happily, and they would no longer be afraid of the wood soldiers coming to force cattle and horses."
At this point, the official sighed: "People's support is against the people. It is indeed destiny. As the emperor, I must not fear the people's support, nor can I not obey the people's support. Zhang Yue can recruit the Tibetan tribe for me. He has won the hearts of the people so much. It is really a great achievement."
How could I wrong him even if he did one thing?"
People who didn't know the situation thought that Li Xian had received so much money from Zhang Yue, yet he said so many good things to Zhang Yue.
But everyone present knew that Li Xian was telling the truth.
The official said: "Then let Zhang Yue recommend another person to be an official."
"According to the decree."
"Which official should Wang Shao reward?"
Wang Anshi said: "The official position can be promoted to the Jixian Hall for compilation, and I will be promoted to the right secretary to advise!"
The official said without hesitation: "It's accurate!"
In the eyes of officials, Zhang Yue's merit is first, Wang Shao's is second, and Gao Zunyu's third is unquestionable.
This arrangement is just right.
The reward has been agreed upon, and the following is the organization and strength of the Xihe Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department.
Wang Anshi said: "Xihe Road can be called the extreme border after passing by the Luping Shisi, and Qinfeng Road can be the secondary border after passing by the Lupeishi Si."
"Sixty percent of Qin Feng Road's troops and horses belong to Xihe Road, and the ministers plan to pass them by. There are a total of 29,722 soldiers and 3,278 horses, including 1,320 stationed troops.
Eighteen, nine hundred and forty-eight horses, eighteen thousand three hundred and ninety-four Tibetan soldiers, and two thousand three hundred and twenty horses."
"In addition, the envoy from the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy and Appeasement Division dispatched 5,000 archers, and the military commander Jing Sili was in charge of 1,500 regular soldiers, all of whom were assigned to the Xihe Administration Envoy to appease the troops."
A total of 36,500 soldiers and horses were transferred from various roads in Shaanxi to Xihe Road to manage and appease the envoys.
Wang Anshi also reported: "In addition, the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and Appeasement Envoy has two members in charge of Qian, four in charge of the road, one in charge of walking, two in Xizhou, three in Cao, three in station and custody, and one in charge of goods and services.
Official Nine."
"At the same time, we will allocate 15 million yuan first to cover the side expenses."
There are so many soldiers and horses, so much money, and so many official positions. It can be seen how many resources the imperial court spent on the new Xihe Road to appease the envoys.
So the most important thing is who is the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy? And who is the Capital Transfer Envoy of the Qinfeng Road Transfer Envoy Department?
Wang Anshi, the commander-in-chief of Qinfeng Road, was bound to win, so he recommended Cai Yanqing to be appointed to Tianzhang Pavilion.
After the incident of Sanshe Ren, Wang Anshi recommended Cai Yanqing as Shiren.
Wen Yanbo disagreed. He believed that Cai Yanqing did not know how to fight, so he recommended Cai Ting, a direct scholar of Longtuge. Personnel decisions in the court were a focus of confrontation among the prime ministers.
Even ministers like Wang Anshi, who are not party-minded, are no exception. They will nominate people who are close to them for important positions, because from a personal perspective, no one will nominate someone they don't like, no matter how talented they are.
The Qinfeng Road Transfer Envoy is the highest administrative officer along the road. He is in charge of everything except military affairs and criminal matters. He also supervises administrative officials such as prefects and prefects in the following states.
The reason why Wen Yanbo recommended Cai Ting was that Cai Ting knew the military better. As an official who had guarded Shaanxi for many years, Cai Ting was indeed a suitable candidate.
However, Wang Anshi believed that the use of troops had its own strategy and the pacification department was responsible for it, and the most important thing for all transfer envoys was financial management. As we all know, Qinfeng Road is a big hole, and the court needs to use transfer payments to maintain it every year.
With so much money in the central government going to Qinfeng Road, there must be an official who is good at financial management sitting here.
The two argued for a long time, and the officials supported Wang Anshi.
Such a result is not surprising. The officialdom clearly favors Wang Anshi, but it is not absolute. If Wen Yanbo proposed personnel matters and he did not accept any of them, Wen Yanbo would have resigned early.
It is the ancestral family law to stir up different opinions, so no matter how much the officials favor Wang Anshi, they still have to make concessions to Wen Yanbo on some personnel matters, maintaining a 30-70 situation.
After the transfer envoy of Qinfeng Road was appointed, the post of Xihe Road Economic and Strategy Envoy was assigned.
Wang Anshi still recommends Gao Zunyu.
Seeing that the other party pushed back, the official frowned and said: "How can Gao Zunyu have such talent? How can he be the comfort envoy and the general manager of the military and horse capital along the way? I think that the rule of the whole way is enough."
After Li Xianyi said it, the officials also understood Gao Zunyu's talents. Qin Feng Lu Qian was already in charge of the sky. If he really wanted to put him in the position of manager and pacifier to command all the troops, there would be no trouble.
Wang Anshi said: "In this case, it is better to be the general manager of the capital."
On the side, Wu Chong also guessed Wang Anshi's thoughts. He objected: "Gao Zunyu still knows Huizhou. There has never been a general manager who left the commander's mansion and knew Junzhou."
The General Manager of the Military and Horse Capital is the commander-in-chief of all the troops and horses, and the magistrate is the administrator. If you are not the manager and appeasement officer, it would be very strange for you to hold two positions, which violates the principle of separation of civil and military affairs.
However, Wang Anshi's attitude was very firm.
Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong both thought that Wang Anshi insisted on making Gao Zunyu the general manager of Xihe Road, because he clearly did not want anyone else to take the same position.
The general manager of the capital was originally called the general manager of the capital, but later it was changed to the general manager of the capital to avoid the taboo of the Yingzong name. Generally speaking, the governor of the economic and strategic pacification envoy also served as the general manager of the road, military and horse capital.
Finally, the court appointed Gao Zunyu as the general manager of the capital and informed Huizhou, and at the same time, Jing Sili was appointed as the road commander.
Wang Anshi added: "We can make Zhang Yue the envoy to appease Xihe Road and know Xizhou, and Wang Shao to be the deputy envoy to appease Xihe Road and know the Tongyuan Army."
The officials agreed.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Wen Yanbo and Wu Chong left together. Wen Yanbo said to Wu Chong: "Always the ministers of economic planning and comfort are private to the prime minister. I heard that your son-in-law never sent a private letter to Jie Fu. On the contrary, Wang Zichun sent him a private letter every few days."
I’ll send a letter to Jiefu that day, telling me about the incident at Xihe River!”
