[Chapter 2096 Governor]
After capturing a prefectural city, Song Yan immediately sent troops to attack the county seat within the territory.
There were only 5,000 troops stationed in the city, not to mention the county seat. In addition, Song Yan let people publicize the news of Xue Ping’s death. Therefore, in less than a day, the Liangzhou army recovered the entire Shaoyin Palace.
After capturing the Shaoyin Mansion, he did not continue his army.
He wants to allow time for the insurgents to evacuate.
As far as he knew, there were less than 50,000 insurgent troops in the entire Yunhuang Province, and they were also stationed in the provincial capital and three other counties.
Even if they were put together, they were not the opponents of the more than 100,000 army led by Song Yan, let alone scattered, not to mention that Xue Ping was dead. It was a big blow, only if they dared to fight against Song Yan.
then.
In less than ten days, the rebel army all withdrew from Yunhuang Province.
Then Song Yan took someone to receive it and directly occupied the entire Yunhuang Province.
Then he wrote a memorial and sent it to the capital, and wrote a private letter to his teacher Cai Zixiao.
Five days later.
Song Yan’s memorial arrived in the capital.
The fall of the five northern provinces greatly damaged the vitality of Wei, and directly occupied one-third of its territory. Moreover, with the growth of the rebel army, the entire Wei Kingdom may be captured.
therefore.
The whole country of Wei was in a state of hesitation.
Even Emperor Wei, who was keen to enjoy himself, rarely became diligent in his administration.
so.
When he saw the memorial sent by Song Yan, Emperor Wei couldn’t help but applauded, and said, “Song Ziyu is indeed my appointed Tanhua Lang!”
When Emperor Wei received Song Yan’s memorial, Cai Zixiao had already received Song Yan’s private letter first.
When he saw everything described in the letter, his face was full of disbelief. His students actually led Liangzhou soldiers to recover the entire Yunhuang Province. At the same time, he also mentioned in the letter that he hoped he could help him plan the Yunhuang Province. Governor’s office.
The governor is a third-grade Dayuan, known as a vassal official.
Therefore, when he saw Song Yan’s request, Cai Zixiao couldn’t help but frown slightly. He had only been an official for a year, and his promotion to Liangzhou Jiedushi was already an illegal promotion. If he was promoted to governor, he would probably be opposed by the court.
However, he will still try, no matter what, Song Yan is his student and his son-in-law.
The next day, early morning.
The news of Song Yan’s recovery of Yunhuang Province had spread throughout the entire court.
However, after Emperor Wei announced the news, everyone pretended not to know, and then congratulated Emperor Wei.
In this regard, Emperor Wei was in a good mood, and people were discussing what reward should be given to Song Yan.
Today’s Cai Zixiao is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and one of the big men in the court. Even if he wants to help Song Yan plan the position of governor, he will not jump out immediately, but his younger brother will speak out.
However, before getting his order, the group of younger brothers did not move.
Instead, other officials spoke up.
However, the rewards proposed by this group of officials are all gold and silver or false titles, and there is no substantial reward at all.
The main reason is that Song Yan is now the Jiedu envoy of Liangzhou, and he is only fourteen years old. If he is promoted again, they will feel uncomfortable. Even if he has made such a big contribution, no one will take the initiative to promote him.
Cai Zixiao couldn’t stand it any longer. With his eyes signaling, one of his younger brothers, a sixth-grade pass of the Inspectorate, walked out. He first praised Song Yan fiercely, and then proposed that Song Yan should temporarily replace Yun Huang’s province. The position of Governor.
It is difficult to directly promote to the governor, so Cai Zixiao took a step back and planned an acting governor for Song Yan. As long as he makes further contributions in the future, he can naturally remove the word “temporary”.
Although only temporary governor.
But it also stimulated the hearts of other officials in the court. For a while, there was a wave of opposition, including Song Yan’s age novels, and how he could be promoted to governor shortly after he was promoted to Jiedushi.
Not to be outdone, the people on Cai Zixiao’s side jumped out and refuted, saying that Song Ziyu was promoted based on his ability, what’s more, the five northern provinces and four provinces are all in the hands of the rebel army, except Song Ziyu who has the ability to go recapture.
So the officials from the two factions quarreled in the main hall, and almost didn’t do anything.
Gradually, Emperor Wei’s expression became impatient, and he glanced at the eunuch beside him.
Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded: “My lords, what’s the point of you being so noisy in the hall?”
As the voice fell, the hall became quiet.
Emperor Wei’s eyes fell on Su Bingwen: “Su Aiqing, you have worked with Song Aiqing, what do you think of his ability?”
“Heavenly Wizards!”
Su Bingwen said.
“Then do you think he has the ability to serve as the governor of Yunhuang Province?”
“can!”
Su Bingwen said decisively.
Emperor Wei nodded with satisfaction, and said solemnly: “Someone has proposed an edict to seal Song Yan and Song Ziyu as the governor of Yunhuang Province!”
“Your Majesty!”
Immediately, the minister shouted.
“Also ask Your Majesty to take back the city order!”
“Your Majesty, Song Ziyu, He De He Neng, what qualifications do you have to be the Governor!”
…………
The ministers were anxious, and jumped out to stop the Emperor Wei.
Seeing the opposition of so many ministers, Emperor Wei’s face was a little gloomy. He looked at an old man who was standing at the top of the civil service and asked, “Yu Aiqing, tell me your opinion?”
The one named by Emperor Wei was Yu Fan and Yu Zhongqing, one of the three elders of the cabinet.
“Your Majesty Song Ziyu is too young, I’m afraid he can’t afford the position of Governor!” Yu Fan said solemnly.
Hearing this, Emperor Wei’s expression turned a little colder.
And Cai Zixiao’s face also sank.
“Li Aiqing, Xie Aiqing, what do you think?”
Emperor Wei looked at the other two elders.
Li Ge is called Li Fei, the character is Dongli, and he is the first assistant of the cabinet.
Xie Ge’s old name is Xie Di, his son Miao, and the other party is Cifu.
But the answer of the two made Emperor Wei very opposed. Li Fei’s answer was that the emperor was in charge. He neither objected nor agreed, and threw the ball back to the emperor.
Xie Di directly objected, using Song Yan’s qualifications and giving many examples.
For a while, Emperor Wei’s expression was a little grim: “Since Xie Aiqing and Yu Aiqing both oppose Song Yan’s appointment as the governor of Yunhuang, those two might as well recommend the candidate for the governor of Yunhuang!”
“This minister recommends Liu Gan, the minister of military affairs!” Xie Di said.
“This minister also recommends Liu Gan, Minister of War!” Yu Fan also said.
On the other hand, Li Dongli, who was the first assistant, showed a playful look at the corner of his mouth.
“Do the two Aiqings think Liu Gan can conquer the other four provinces after serving as governor?” Emperor Wei asked coldly.
“This?”
Both were speechless.
If the four northern provinces were so easy to recover, then Lu Qi would not be defeated and killed.
Therefore, the two elders did not know how to answer.
“I will give you five days to recommend the candidate for Governor Izumo, but there is a premise that the other four provinces must be recaptured, otherwise, don’t blame me for cutting off his head and withdrawing from the dynasty!”
Wei Di went away angrily, without the intention to achieve it, which made him very uncomfortable.
But fortunately, he left such a problem, leaving Yu Han and Li Dong with a headache.
Originally, many people were planning for the Governor of Yunhuang.
But after Emperor Wei proposed that precondition, who would dare to agree?
Unless you think you’ve had enough.
Although Song Yan wiped out more than 100,000 insurgents, there were still 400,000 insurgents in the other four provinces.
Days passed in a flash.
The meeting will open again.
Emperor Wei looked at the group of courtiers below and said indifferently: “Aiqings, do you have a suitable candidate for the governor of Yunhuang Province?”
For a moment, everyone was silent.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Wei was quite proud in his heart, and sneered to himself: “If there is no suitable candidate, then I will make an order!”
Everyone remained silent, and Emperor Wei named Song Yan the governor of Yunhuang Province on the spot, and ordered the Ministry of Household to send millions of stone grains to Yunhuang Province.
The ministers who had been silent at first finally couldn’t bear it any longer.
A million stone is not a small number.
The first one who jumped out was a servant from the Ministry of Household, claiming that the Ministry of Household could not come up with such food at all.
“If you can’t get it, go and collect it for me. Are you letting my army go to fight those rebels hungry?” Emperor Wei shouted angrily.
“Your Majesty, when the northwest province suffered a drought before, most of the grain of the household was transferred away. Later, the Marquis of Puyang went to the northwest province and took away a lot of grain. The current household does not say a million stone, even if it is ten thousand stones. I can’t take out all the stones!”
The Minister of Accounts came out and said.
Hearing this, Emperor Wei’s face became extremely ugly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, “We have collected two million taels of silver from our inner treasury to buy grain and send it to Yunhuangxing to save!”
“Your Majesty Shengming!” Baiguan said quickly.
Three days later.
The emperor’s decree arrived in Yunhuang Province.
After getting the official seal in his hand, Song Yan sensed that the billowing air was moving towards him. After some investigation, he found that his luck had increased by more than 100,000 yuan.
Five days later.
One million stone grains were escorted to Yunhuang Province.
But Di Qiu, who was sent to receive the food, soon returned angrily.
Because most of the delivered military rations are mixed with stones and sand, it is not bad to have 100,000 stones in a million stone grains. Besides, there are many grains that are old grains for many years and have become moldy, not to mention people, even if Animals are not edible.
Song Yan, who learned the news, went to investigate it himself, and as Di Qiu said, he couldn’t help laughing.
If he was still in the officialdom of Wei Guo, he would only be able to suffer the loss, but he had no such idea at all, so he immediately picked up a pen and wrote a secret letter and sent it to the capital.
Ordinary memorials will go directly to the cabinet, but secret memorials will be sent directly to the emperor.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to write a secret book, only the senior members of the third rank or above are qualified, and Song Yan just met this requirement.
So, a day later, Emperor Wei received a secret fold from Song Yan.
After opening the secret fold, Wei Di directly threw his beloved glass.
It was too much, it was too much. He bought this batch of food with the money he pulled out from the inner treasury. As a result, those moths dared to do it.
He immediately dispatched the secret agency Xuan Yiwei to Yunhuang Province to verify.
The person who came to deliver the food was a head of the household department. After seeing that Song Yan refused to receive the food, he panicked a little. He was surrounded.
Until Xuan Yiwei arrives.
