In addition, in the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji learned that the four bandits were in trouble and sent Cai You to lead troops to conquer Daliang. He also began to go to court every day to handle government affairs. Qingliu such as Su Yuanjing in the court also began to frequently submit memorials to criticize the current ills, which Zhao Ji also adopted.
Some of them, including Su, Hangzhou Zaozao Bureau and Yuqian Gangyun, wood and stone coloring and other field affairs.
The mood in the morning is also positive.
"Master Cai, the governor of the Huaikang Army, asks for an audience."
On this day, when Zhao Ji was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, he heard Cai You coming back. His wrist shook uncontrollably, and the imperial pen drew a line on the memorial.
Zhao Ji put the royal pen on the pen holder and said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."
At the door opening, Cai You, wrapped in white cloth, crawled in from the ground. As he crawled, he cried: "I am incompetent. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
When Zhao Ji heard what Cai You said, he stood up in shock and asked anxiously: "Has the army been defeated by the Liangshan bandits again?"
"Ouch"
Cai You seemed to have touched the injury while crawling, and he screamed in pain and reported: "On the day of the battle, Wei Chen went to the battle line to check the strength of the Liangshan bandits. He didn't want to be shot by the bandits, so he made a small retreat. Wei Chen was originally planning to gather his troops.
Ma Zai wiped out the Liangshan bandits, but he was too seriously injured and fainted. When Wei Chen woke up, he found that he had been taken back to Tokyo for treatment. Wei Chen was guilty and missed important military and national affairs."
When Zhao Ji heard that Cai You had escaped alone, he couldn't help but asked in shock: "Where is my army?"
Cai You hurriedly said: "Wei Chen felt seriously injured before he fainted, so he asked Li Congji, the military governor of Hanyang in Longxi, to take charge of the army. Wei Chen originally thought that he could wipe out the Liangshan bandits after recovering from his injuries, but he did not expect that he fainted and was killed.
Take it back to Tokyo with you personally."
Zhao Ji felt relieved when he heard that someone was taking command on his behalf, and asked: "I ask you, how many soldiers and horses did you lose in one go?"
Cai You actually didn't know how many soldiers and horses were killed by being captured by Liangshan. He only knew that more than 30,000 people returned from the camp that day, but he did not dare to tell Zhao Jiming, "More than 10,000 people were killed."
Liang Shicheng, who was waiting on Zhao Ji to review the memorial, said: "If there are more than 80,000 people, we should be able to wipe out the Liangshan bandits. However, Li Congji is also a bandit. If he is given the military power, I am afraid he will have different intentions."
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Who in the court can still lead the army?"
Liang Shiben originally wanted Wang Fu to perform meritorious deeds, but seeing Cai You's miserable appearance, he felt that the matter was not that simple and did not dare to say anything for a while.
Zhao Ji thought for a while, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he had to say: "The situation is tense now. Changing generals before the battle may delay the military affairs, so I will let Li Congji continue to be the commander. I will send a supervisor to supervise the military affairs."
.”
Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty released his military power over a cup of wine. The Zhao family had always guarded against rebellion by military generals. If there was a war, they would appoint close ministers as commanders, and most of them were civil servants. Occasionally, military generals would be used as commanders, and supervisors would be sent to control them to prevent the generals from overpowering them.
Military chaos.
Zhao Ji had made up his mind and picked up the pen.
Liang Shicheng hurriedly polished the ink for Zhao Ji.
Cai You was crawling underground but was sweating profusely. He led the soldiers and horses guarding the rear camp to escape that day. The army was bound to be defeated again. Li Congji didn't know whether he had escaped. If Li Congji had not escaped, the emperor's decree would have been delayed.
Military affairs. But if it were revealed, it would be difficult for him to explain.
Cai You thought for a while and finally felt that his life was important.
Zhao Ji wrote an imperial edict in one breath and handed it to Liang Shicheng: "Let someone take the gold-lettered plaque and pass it to Xingren Mansion and forward it to the army. The supervisory army will also set off today, so there is no delay."
The gold-lettered medals were the twelve gold medals that Yue Fei received as it was often said later. However, these gold medals were not real gold medals, but just a communication certificate.
During the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the voucher for postal communications was a post coupon, which was written on paper and was also called a touzi. With this coupon, travel on the post road was unimpeded. However, during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, there was a riot involving people who pretended to ride on a post horse. There was one incident.
The son of an official forged fake post tickets and defrauded many stage horses. Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty changed the post tickets into silver medals as proof of the post route. This kind of silver medal was two and a half inches wide and six inches long, with official script and engraved with flying phoenix and unicorn.
The pattern has the year and month on both sides. The gold-lettered plaque dates back to the time of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, and was stipulated to be used for emergency delivery. At that time, the Song Dynasty was fighting fiercely with Xixia, and Xixia sent troops to besiege Lanzhou. In order to quickly convey military information, Song Shenzong ordered the use of gold-lettered plaques to pass through
Emperor, unusual documents are usually delivered to the delivery shop.
The gold-lettered plaque is a wooden communication sign that is more than a foot long. It is one foot long and has a gold script engraved on the vermillion lacquer base. The script is eight characters: "The writings in front of the emperor are not allowed to enter the shop." It means the official documents from the emperor.
, letters, and post officials are not allowed to hand over them in the post station, but can only be delivered one by one on horseback, which is much faster.
This kind of gold-lettered plaque is required to send messages, and it is required to travel five hundred miles a day, day and night. It is like flying lightning, and everyone who looks at it avoids the road. Later in the Southern Song Dynasty, in addition to the gold-lettered plaque, there were also green-lettered plaques and red-lettered plaques.
The green-letter plate has green characters on an oriole background and is also made of wood. It stipulates that the daily travel is 350 miles, and it is also a communication certificate for express delivery. The red-letter plate has black paint and red letters, and the daily travel limit is 300 miles.
Liang Shicheng took the memorial and went out. Zhao Ji then remembered Cai You on the ground and said, "For the sake of your injury for the country, I will exempt you from the guilt of defeat for the time being. You can get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not committing sin."
"Ouch"
Cai You thanked him for his kindness, managed to crawl up a little, and then screamed, "The arrow wound on Wei Chen's back hurts so much that he can't stand up without help."
Zhao Ji saw that Cai You didn't look like he was acting, so he called the little eunuch outside to come in and help Cai You up.
Zhao Ji saw Cai You sweating, frowned and said, "How is your injury from the arrow? Do you want my doctor to come and take a look at it?"
Cai You only had some flesh injuries on his back, so he didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor to see him. He hurriedly said: "No need. After I was brought back by my personal escort, they asked a doctor to take a look at me. I will rest for a while."
Already."
Zhao Ji treated these favored ministers very kindly. He nodded and said: "Then you go down first and wait until you recover from your injuries before going to court."
Cai You was so moved that he shed two lines of tears and said: "The emperor is so kind to you, but I can't repay it for you. I will do my best in the future and die."
Zhao Ji stepped forward, patted Cai You on the shoulder, and encouraged: "You are born in a famous family, and you have lacked some experience. You have been a little more frivolous in the past. Unexpectedly, after going through this battle, you have become much calmer. With more experience in the future, you will definitely
Can become a minister as good as Prime Minister Cai."
It seems that his acting skills have improved. The emperor actually didn't notice that he was acting. From now on, if he plays an actor with Wang Fu again, he will be better than Wang Fu.
While thinking about it, Cai You was moved and said: "What the emperor has taught me is that in the future, ministers must be down-to-earth and share the emperor's worries."
Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Okay, Xiao Anzi, let's send Cai Qing down." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
