    It has been the eighth year of Zhenghe, and the Shangyuan Festival has just passed. Luzhou is under military rule. Luchuan County, where the official office of the Lunan Appeasement Department is located, is sorting out the paperwork and accounts, and is about to go to Chengdu to take over the affairs of Chengdu Prefecture.  Sun Xisou of Qianju welcomed a guest.  "It is a great blessing for the country that Qinsou can be used. When Qinsou arrived, Cangzhou was at the same level. By the time Qinsou returns to Bianliang, Bianshui will be leveled as well." Sun Fusou smiled and welcomed Tang Ke into the back hall, praising him.  During the Daguan period, Tang Ke's achievements in controlling floods in Cangzhou were recorded.  Last year, there were frequent floods in Bianliang and the dams were in danger. The imperial court recruited Tang Ke to return to the capital and serve as the capital's water envoy, using his expertise in water control.  "Water is yin, and it floods and causes disasters, so God uses yin to tell the world. There is Meng Changling in Cangzhou, and I don't know who is there in the court." Tang Ke responded bluntly and labeled Meng Changling, who ignored the people during the flood, as a villain. Sun  Xisou could only smile and say nothing, but he sighed in his heart that this person had already boarded the ship of the public minister. The gentleman who asked for orders for the people and dared to strictly refuse the capital's water envoy Meng Changling had been half tainted.  Now when I say a gentleman's words, I don't feel that my words are serious, but I feel funny.  "I heard that the angel who was punished by the imperial court to deal with Zongze and Wang Chong has arrived in Luchuan?" The two of them sat down. Before the tea bowl was in hand, Tang Ke hurriedly asked about the business.  Sun Xisou said calmly: "The angel has been here for three days. I have recruited two people to Luchuan. They should arrive in the next two days." Tang Ke snorted: "It's not that I have to fight with them, but that they have done too much.  I guess you must have been to the government." Sun Xisou nodded and said, "It is true." The corners of Sun Xisou's mouth twitched slightly as he spoke, not sure if he was hiding disdain or ridicule.  Regarding the Border Affairs Department, he had indeed studied it, but he had never said a bad word about Zongze and Wang Chong.  Last November, during an inspection by the Linzhou Tibetan Ministry, Pangan, the chief of the Wuman barbarians who took control of the land thousands of miles north of Anle River, suddenly gathered his troops and started a rebellion.  Linzhou and Zizhou are uneasy.  In Zizhou, Wang Chong, who was studying the affairs of the Border Affairs Department of the Fan soldiers, led 900 Fan soldiers and put down the rebellion in three days.  Not only did he kill Pangan, but he also obtained some evidence of Pangan's rebellion. Among them, the copper workshop where Pangan minted fake copper coins was particularly shocking.  Judging from the account books, more than 300,000 copper coins were minted in the Pangan year, which was one-tenth of the copper coins minted in the Song Dynasty.  The whole court was shocked when the news came out that there was a big earthquake in the southwest.  There are many opinions about Zongze and Wang Chong's move, and Tang Ke's view is the voice of some of them: If you are good at provoking foreign enemies, chaos is coming!  No matter what Pangan did, he was a Wuman after all, and he invaded the Wuman land brazenly.  How would the Romanian Congress react if they killed their chief?  Originally, Lunan had been calm, but now it was about to stir up trouble again.  Tang Ke continued the previous bullet and scolded the two men for wooing the enemies of Luo State while provoking provocations, and ultimately planned to attack Luo State. Zongze's previous "Review of Southwest Affairs" was just a smoke bomb.  At this time, the Weizhou and Maozhou rebellions had already broken out in Shu.  Wang Chong, Zongze's move made Shu land uneasy, and he was even more wanton and reckless. He was trying to follow the example of villains who wanted to use their merits to advance. If he didn't kill him, it wouldn't be enough to thank the world!  Tang Ke didn¡¯t know what the DPRK¡¯s opinions were on his bullet.  However, judging from the change that he was able to leave the Border Affairs Department and return to the capital to control floods, the imperial court should have recognized his opinion, otherwise he would not have been given a position.  Flood control is his specialty.  Through this ladder, it is easy to return to the two systems.  Ranked in the court.  Therefore, Tang Ke concluded that Zongze and Wang Chong were doomed, and he deliberately delayed his trip just to see the fate of the two of them in Luchuan.  Tang Ke asked tentatively: "I don't know how it will be dealt with? I heard that the imperial court originally planned to transfer the two of them to Chengdu to quell the Qiang-Fan rebellion?" Sun Xisou shook his head and said: "I don't know either. I don't want to go to Chengdu.  It must be impossible. " Sun Xisou was telling the truth. Tang Ke had other ideas and snorted: "I think it is better to destroy the two people's background and literature. It is shameful for people like them to be a scholar-official."  Xisou couldn't bear it any longer and said, "I don't know how to deal with the two of them, but Wang Jiangming has appointed Zuo Cheng, the minister." Tang Ke was stunned, Wang Fu has become the prime minister!  ?  After a long time, Tang Ke smiled with relief and said: "You are a man of great power, and you know the right way to choose." The water of power trading has always been deep. Listening to Tang Ke's words, he understood this matter as Cai Jing's use of this matter to make trouble.  However, Wang Fu acted decisively and lost Zongze and Wang Chong, and may even have given up the Border Affairs Department. Cai Jing reconciled with Wang Fu and gave him a deputy prime minister, elevating his status and reducing his real power.  The maid handed the tea soup, and Sun Xisou covered his face with the tea, saying in his heart, Tang Qinsou, you have shown wrong feelings The next day, Zongze and Wang Chong arrived, dusty and tired, and did not bother to wash up, so they went to the main hall of the Luzhou Yamen Office.  Take the decree.  Tang Ke, Tang Xiao and his son were crowded among the onlookers, watching their fate with smiles.  The angel brought three decrees. The first one was to Luzhou Fang, the Secretary for Border Affairs. He heard the angel announce in a cadence that the Luzhou House for Border Affairs was cancelled.The two houses in Rongzhou were handed over to the Lunan Appeasement Department to take over the affairs.  Tang Ke smiled sincerely. Sure enough, Tang Xiao clenched his fist and shook it. The evildoer will be punished!  Seeing that Wang Chong's face remained unchanged, Tang Ke smiled and said, "These young and old men are really calm." The angel then read out the second decree, which was for Tian Yougong of Sizhou, Luo Yongshun of Zizhou, and Yang Guangrong of Bozhou.  , Yang Wengui of Zunyi Army, Prime Minister of Manzhou Song Dynasty, Long Junzhong of Nanning Prefecture, and vassal and barbarian leaders such as Qinzhou, Zhenzhou, Chengzhou, etc. were each promoted to the first rank of their own officials, and 19 other disciples, including Tian Zhongsi, who led the troops, were appointed as successors.  Official positions range from Jielang to Chengxinlang.  These people also rushed over with King Zongze, knelt down behind him, and thanked him in unison. The momentum was not small, causing the audience to buzz and talk.  Tang Xiao frowned: "Didn't these people follow King Zongze to stir up trouble? How come they got rewards?" Tang Ke snorted: "After all, they are barbarians. In times of turmoil, the court still needs to appease them." The angel read the third line again.  The imperial edict was given to Wang Chong. After a lot of praise, it was announced that Zongze had been transferred to Zhilang's official position. He was an official of the eighth rank, and he had been removed from the power of Dengzhou.  Tang Ke lost his voice and whispered: "How could" It was Tang Xiao's turn to comfort his father: "After all, Zongze did not personally do it, and the court was probably fighting between two parties. It is difficult to draw a conclusion and give him some mercy."  Then came Wang Chong. When he heard the imperial edict's praises such as "Being brave and strategic", Tang Ke's heart pounded.  As he expected, the angel then announced that Wang Chong¡¯s official position would be transferred from the eighth-rank Zhenglang to the eighth-rank Xuanyilang.  This time, he skipped the four ranks of Jinglang, Wenlinlang, Rulinlang, and Chengzhilang, and changed from a selector to a Beijing official. This was a complete transformation.  The next announcement of the mission made Tang Ke and Tang Xiao open their mouths, "Weapons Supervisor!"  ?  Seeing that the father and son were dumbfounded, Sun Xisou explained sympathetically: "The person who was newly sentenced to the weapons supervisor is a member of Wang Jiangming's family." So it turned out that Wang Fu was promoted to deputy prime minister and got the weapons supervisor.  Wang Chong was regarded as a confidant and was also sent to the weapons prison.  Calculating his age, he is nineteen years old, a nineteen-year-old weapons supervisor Tang Ke was in a daze, and it turned out to be what he was thinking.  Everything is wrong!  Wherever Cai Jing won, it was clearly Wang Fu who won.  Wang Chong of Zongze made a plan, killed Pang Gan, exposed the forgery of copper coins, contacted nineteen vassals, and obtained thousands of miles of land south of Linzhou and north of Anle River.  The imperial court fully recognized this series of achievements in pacifying more than a thousand households of Wuman.  The abolition of the Border Affairs Department only meant that Wang Fu was already in power.  Once you gain power, you can no longer use the border affairs department and just compromise with Cai Jing.  However, Tang Ke didn't understand yet and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty just sat and watched the chaos in Lunan. The imperial court and the Luo Kingdom were at war?" Sun Xisou sighed: "In December, the Song family in Manzhou retook Juzhou. With Juzhou.  Zhou Xiantu court, the Luo ghost kingdom was threatened from the north and south, and envoys were sent to pay tribute. "Since Zongze Wang Chong dared to kill Pang Gan, how could he not predict the subsequent situation?  After killing Pangan, the Song family in Manzhou received the assistance of the Long family in Nanning Prefecture and the Yang family in Zunyi, Bozhou, and rushed their troops to attack Juzhou (Guiyang).  Using the disciples who had been taught and experienced actual combat as the grassroots military generals, they captured Juzhou in four days and drove the Wuman out.  Then he donated land to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to set up a Juzhou army to curb the Wuman counterattack. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Wuman tribes were wounded in the north and the south, but to the Ghost King they were all disobedient, with ulterior motives, and secretly conspired side branches. Although they were angry that the Song Dynasty and the eastern vassals joined forces to seize the territory, they could not be said to be in danger of survival.  The best choice for the Ghost King is to start formal dealings with the Song Dynasty and reason with each other in order to maintain the existing territory.  ??Zongze Wangchong borrowed Pang Gan's head to not only win over the barbarians in Guizhou and allow the court's orders to flow smoothly, but also obtained two pieces of land, covering an area of ??2,000 miles, which was no less than the pacification of the Bo rebellion in Yanzhou.  Wang Fu used this merit to worship the prime minister. How could Zongze and Wang Chong lose their merit?  "If that's the case, why can I get an official position and return to Beijing after impeaching two people?  Tang Ke understood the situation and couldn't help but close his eyes in pain when he thought about this problem. It turned out that Cai Jing regarded himself as Wang Fu's enemy and wanted to drag him back to the capital to continue to disgust Wang Fu.  All in all, I have gradually fallen into the position of public minister. Even if I return to Beijing, my former colleagues in the old party will regard me as a snake and a scorpion.  When he opened his eyes again, Wang Chong, who was standing up to thank him, looked like a snake and a scorpion, already taller than an ordinary person. There was a burning pain in his eyes.  "Forget it, I'll look for an opportunity to punish you when we get to the capital!" Just as Tang Ke was muttering to himself, he heard Wang Chong say in a voice that had lost its youthful clarity and appeared to be rich and resolute: "I don't dare to accept the order!" Hissing.  The sound of anger echoed around, resist the decree!  ?  "I have been studying poetry and classics since I was a child, and I have been inscribed on the gold medal as my ambition. I have not received any honors, so I put on this official uniform to serve my country and to redeem my father. It is not my original wish and I have no choice."??Now that things have settled down, I would like to resign from office and study, so that I can hear from you on the right path.  " Wang Chong's voice echoed inside and outside the main hall. The officials' families in the hall and the people watching the excitement outside the hall burst into cheers at the same time: "Okay!  " Wang Chong did not want to be promoted based on his merits, but wanted to study and take the imperial examination. For the Song people who came from a different background, this ambition was particularly admirable. Being an official in the capital and a military supervisor, this is a future that is difficult for ordinary people to get in their lifetime.  , he actually refused. Only Sun Xisou and Zong Ze stood with their hands behind their backs, sighing secretly, but they didn't know how much resentment they would have. Who gave this official job? It was Wang Fu.  Si relied on Zongze and Wang Chong to achieve great success, and Wang Fu was able to gain the position. Naturally, he had to reward the two of them. However, the two of them had to be treated differently. Zongze was old and had his own opinions. Wang Fu did not want to make this person his confidant.  He wrote "Another Comment on Southwest Affairs", which shows that this person is like a gentleman, acting according to his ambitions rather than people. He is really a confidant, and he may be sold out by him the next day, so he is given to Zongze as a court official.  Then throw it out. Wang Chong seems to be the same as Zong Ze, who only cares about things and people. He didn't give face to him when he came to Beijing, but after all, he is a young man, and Wang Chong still has a chance to smooth out his edges.  Going to the Ordnance Supervision is to throw him into the grindstone of officialdom. No matter how high-spirited he is, he can only follow Wang Fu's plan.  Chu, Wang Chong should also have some understanding. It depends on how he chooses. Unexpectedly, his choice is so strong, resigning! He slapped Wang Fu in the face again. You gave him a good job.  I don¡¯t want to go! What will Wang Fu think? This is the first time that the servant has refused to be promoted to an official. Sun Xisou is at a loss.  Go down. After finding someone to pass a message to the chamberlain, the chamberlain breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly: "The message has been recorded, and you will be waiting for the new order.  ¡± It was common in the Song Dynasty to resist edicts and refuse edicts, as long as they were not demoted or even reorganized. It was not considered a crime to refuse a title. When a minister got a high position or even a prime minister, it would be rude not to refuse several times first, which is the so-called greeting.  Wang Chong's situation is obviously not a farewell, but the court will definitely deal with it differently and will not just follow Wang Chong's wishes. This has nothing to do with Wang Chong's face, but the court's face must be put somewhere.  At the end, the incense table was removed and the crowd dispersed. Ignoring Tang Ke, who seemed to have aged a few years, and Sun Xisou, he stepped forward and grabbed Wang Chong and said, "Why bother?"  Said: "Appease, no, Dafu.  Don't worry, just use Li Muqing.  The chaos in Weizhou and Maozhou will resolve itself, and there is no need for the brat to come forward.  " Sun Xisou smiled awkwardly. He scolded Wang Chong, but his motive was still on the Qiang-fan rebellion in Chengdu. Wang Chong could just refuse the envoy from the capital and appoint him as an aide to quell the chaos in Chengdu. But with Wang Chong's explanation,  Sun Xisou felt much more at ease, and he asked curiously: "Is this person really trustworthy?  What¡¯s the relationship with Shouzheng?  " Wang Chong blinked: "Strictly speaking, he is the boy's Taishan.  " Sun Xisou hesitated, couldn't it be such a coincidence? Wang Chong said again: "When the chaos is over, I hope that the mansion can win more rewards for Mount Tai. In addition, the mansion can also take advantage of this" He only said this  Here, Sun Xisou laughed, nodded and said: "That's natural, I will also bring the father and son of the Zhong family there, so they have to share the credit for such a contribution.  " Since the Qiang-fan rebellion was just a simple task, such a piece of favor pie must be divided evenly among everyone, especially a warrior like Zhong Yuzhi who can use it easily. After discussing the details, Wang Chong walked out of the main hall, and a group of people burst into laughter.  Everyone around, led by Tian Zhongsi, looked worried and asked why Wang Chong had resigned.  If Chong were not appointed as an official, everyone was not sure what the imperial policy would be in the southwest. Wang Chong grabbed Tian Zhongsi and said, "Here in Luzhou, the prisoner Zhong is about to leave, and Sun Fufu has written a letter asking your father to come and take charge.  " Tian Zhongsi's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Really!  ?  "Wang Chong nodded, of course it is true. The Border Affairs Department and the Lunan Appeasement Department jointly formulated a strategy for dealing with the barbarians in the southwest. There is no reason for the court to not use it. With Tian Yougong as the prisoner of Luzhou soldiers and horses, with the help of the Sizhou Tian family, stability  Lunan. Expand the land of Linzhou to Anle City, set up a military stronghold in Anle City, and use Bo soldiers to protect the trade routes. The thousands of miles of land captured from Pang Gan is Wang Fu's achievement, and he will definitely want it.  As for the grand idea mentioned by Zongze in "Rediscussing Southwest Affairs", the imperial court will certainly not use it, at least not in a hurry in the past two years, except for some details., such as setting up Fanxue, allowing Fan people to take imperial examinations, and using Fan people as officials. This is very satisfactory to Zhao Ji, who is very happy about success. It is estimated that it will be implemented after the details are agreed upon.  Tian Yougong is an experiment. If the situation in Luzhou is stable and the attitude of the barbarians in the southwest remains subservient, I am afraid that more barbarians will be included in the imperial system, and the leader or the leader's descendants can serve as officials in the mainland.  Now that Wang Fu has been appointed as the prime minister, even if the border affairs department is withdrawn, the imperial court will not shrink significantly in the southwest. After all, this is Wang Fu's achievement. How could he slap himself in the face?  Long Yanhao from Nanning Prefecture still said reluctantly: "Shou Zheng really doesn't want to be an official?" Wang Chong said with a smile: "How can I not become an official? When I pass the Jinshi exam and see you again, you have to pay homage to me!" Everyone  Smiling happily, Zizhou Luohuang sighed again: "I really hope there will be another opportunity like Chengliu, so that everyone can receive Shouzheng's teachings again!" Everyone was silent. In the past three or four months at Chengliu Military Camp, not only did they learn skills,  Everyone also formed a friendship, and when they joined hands to fight together, they felt more like a comrade.  The order we just received was the last time everyone got together. From now on, it is hard to predict whether they will be strangers to each other, or even fight with each other.  "The desolation returned in everyone's hearts, but they heard Wang Chong say: "The world is very big, we will meet again one day, I believe" Wang Chong glanced at everyone, his eyes full of determination: "We will still be together and fight side by side!"
