    Chapter 297 Singing and Harmony After Song Shou bowed to Song Renzong, he said with high spirits: "Although Xia Xuanhui's memorial is a bit excessive, I think there are many things that are reasonable. Now Shaanxi is one of the most important things for me in the Song Dynasty.  It requires important ministers like Mount Tai to take charge, and young generals who can exert their energy to thwart the arrogance of the Xixia barbarians. The prince undoubtedly meets these conditions, and judging from his past achievements, he has always faced fewer enemies and more.  And achieved impressive results!" After a pause, Song Shou continued: "How come the prince is not qualified to take on important tasks in Shaanxi? Moreover, it is not that the officials are hostile to Xia Jinglue to appease the envoy, but it is just such a trivial matter.  , I also want to report to the court and return home. What does this mean? If the court agrees, then where is the prestige of the court? I am afraid that there will be chaos in the feudal town in the late Tang Dynasty!  Zhao Yan smiled bitterly. If this matter is not handled well, Xia Song will be ignored by Zhao Yan. Even if he is not ignored, the cake will have to be divided between two people.  In addition, Xia Song was not a good-tempered person to begin with, nor was he necessarily broad-minded, so it was not surprising that he acted like this.  "Ahem!" Zhang Shixun coughed twice, stood up and said: "Officials, the reason why Xia Ziqiao went to Shu was for the sake of the Song Dynasty! You must know that ordering two people out is a taboo in the army. Today you want to advance eastward,  He said he would go west tomorrow, but after two days, it was just a waste of time? And it would also make the soldiers below confused. How can we defeat the enemy without a firm goal? " Zhang Shixun paused and continued.  Said: "So although his words are a bit extreme, they can't be said to be a threat. If the officials trust King Wei Qiantuan, then Xia Ziqiao's move will not embarrass the officials. He also has a step down. If the officials think that Xia Ziqiao  However, this appointment strengthened Xia Ziqiao's loyalty to the official family. The old minister thought that what Song Zhiyuan had just said was a little too much!  It seems to be correct, but if the court appeases Xia Ziqiao, will there be someone else who will resign and return to his hometown if something goes wrong? "What happened to the court?" Song Renzong was in a dilemma after hearing this.  Yes, because what Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian said was correct, and Song Renzong did not dare to hand over Shaanxi to Zhao Jian.  It should be noted that the Western Army has deployed a lot of troops and horses. According to the Shaanxi documents that Zhao Jian saw in the Privy Council, it is recorded that the Song Dynasty currently has a total of 273 battalions of horse and infantry troops deployed in Shaanxi. These are the Forbidden Army, Xiang soldiers and Xia soldiers.  The Tibetan soldiers proposed by Song have not yet been taken into account.  There are two hundred and seventy-three battalions. Each battalion has a full strength of 500 people. Theoretically, there are 136,500 people.  Of course, the actual number of troops cannot be so large, and the Forbidden Army will not go unless it is a few individuals.  Otherwise, they are usually made up of dissatisfaction, but there are still 10,000 forbidden troops in Shaanxi.  At present, the Song Dynasty theoretically has 500,000 forbidden troops.  Among them, there are 200,000 in Bianliang City, about 150,000 in Hedong and Hebei combined, and only 120,000 in the south.  You can imagine how huge the military force controlled by the Shaanxi Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy was. If the Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy had any disobedience, I dare not say that he would be able to overthrow the Song Dynasty, and it would be enough to make Song Renzong drink a pot.  The words of Lu Yijian and Song Shou also made Song Renzong feel embarrassed. Xia Song had so many troops. If the court surrendered all of a sudden, wouldn't the court's prestige be reduced invisibly?  It was impossible for Song Renzong not to be afraid of Xia Song, who commanded such a huge force.  Xia Song¡¯s background is also somewhat special. Xia Song is from De¡¯an, Jiangzhou, also known as a southerner.  No matter what dynasty or era, regional distinctions exist.  Especially in ancient times, local sentiments were very strong, and southern scholars were often suppressed in the north.  Therefore, Xia Song was promoted to the position of economic and strategic pacification envoy of Shaanxi, which is also due to his current situation of being out of touch with the party.  But before, Xia Song was a member of the Queen Mother's party, and he and Lu Yijian were famous rivals.  Xia Song was a scholar. Liu E originally wanted to promote him to be a political advisor, but Lu Yijian strongly opposed it.  Liu E had no choice but to promote Xia Song to the position of deputy privy envoy. Although the deputy privy envoy can also be called a minister, how can he compare with the convenience of participating in political affairs?  As the saying goes, cutting off someone¡¯s management is like killing one¡¯s parents. The relationship between the two can be imagined.  For this reason, after Liu E passed away, Lu Yijian came to power and brought some elderly people from the Queen Mother Party to the court. He dared not say that the officials would be reinstated, at least they would not have to wander around outside.  Only Xia Song was an exception.  First, he was dismissed as the Minister of Rites and knew Xiangzhou. Within a year, he was transferred to Yingzhou as an official.  He went to Qingzhou and served as the prefect, during which he built the first Hongqiao in history.  Song Renzong then transferred him back to serve as the third envoy. Later, Li Yuanhao rebelled, and Lu Yijian took advantage of the situation and kicked him to Shaanxi.  Xia Song paid homage to the Jiedu Envoy of the Ning Army and Zhiyongxing Army. He added another Jiedushi Envoy, and his rank was not low.  But how can it be compared with the Third Secretary?  Not to mentionNowadays, the Jiedu envoys in the Song Dynasty are all sent to official positions. Apart from getting more money when collecting wages and being more prestigious when going out, they have no use.  Before the Battle of Sanchuankou broke out, it was changed to Zhongwu Army Jiedushi, Zhijingzhou, and Qinfeng Road.  Song Renzong naturally knew what was going on here, so although he promoted Xia Song, it was impossible to fully trust him.  In the moment of embarrassment, Lu Yijian suddenly said: "Guan family, I have a compromise method. I wonder if it is feasible?"  I was stunned.  Although he had the opportunity to speak at this moment, he didn't know what to say. After all, when the situation was unclear, speaking casually would not only fail to save his own fate, but might even push him.  It would be frustrating if something like this happened.  Lu Yijian looked confident and said calmly: "In the official family, King Wei's thousand-year-old ability is obvious to both the government and the public, but there are also shortcomings, that is, the enemies we fight are all mobs. Although we win with less, we also give people  An illusion that this should be the case. Therefore, the veteran believed that although King Wei Qiantai had the ability to serve as a recruiter, the generals below did not know it, so he arranged for King Qiantui of Wei to serve in other positions to lay a solid foundation. " Although Song Renzong did not!  Song Renzong was ready to appoint Zhao Juan as the economic and strategic envoy of Shaanxi, but Lu Yijian's words still sounded good to Song Renzong.  Although he was unwilling to appoint him, he did not want to express his idea too much. After all, he was his younger brother, and Song Renzong still had to worry about family ties and face.  Song Renzong looked like he was thinking the same thing and said, "What Lu Aiqing said is really what I think in my heart! I wonder if you think the seventh brother should hold any position?" "How about the Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road managers?  " Lu Yijian suggested hypocritically.  As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Shixun already objected.  "No, it has been discussed before. Yin Zhu, the former judge of the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department of Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road, will be appointed as the deputy pacification envoy of Qinfeng Road. He will be in charge of Qinfeng Road for 15 years. Han Qi, the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy and Appeasement, will be in charge of the military and political affairs of Jingyuan Road.  Affairs. Now that the affairs of the country have been decided, if there is no convincing reason for the change, how can we persuade the soldiers of the three armies? " "What other suggestions does Lu Aiqing have?" Song Renzong asked.  Lu Yijian coughed and said calmly: "Isn't Yin Zhu the deputy envoy to appease you? In that case, let King Wei Qiansui do it for you." Zhao Jian interjected: "The officials, Shaanxi soldiers are well fed.  If my brother goes there, I'm afraid it will have counter-effects! Please think again!" How could Zhao Jian not know Lu Yijian's sinister intentions?  Although Yin Zhu is the deputy pacifier, he is exercising the power of the pacifier.  Now it seems that the official position remains unchanged, but the power has changed greatly. There is an extra person on the head. Will Yin Zhu be convinced?  ??And the judge who Yin Zhu previously served as the Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Department, his Shangguan was none other than Xia Song, who had just served as the Shaanxi Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy!  Will Xia Song catch a cold with Zhao Yan?  With Xia Song suppressing him from above, and his subordinates subverting his power below, it would be useless for Zhao Juan to have all kinds of skills.  Song Renzong also hesitated after hearing Zhao Jun's words.  How could Lu Yijian let all his hard work go to waste?  As soon as Zhao Juan finished speaking, Lu Yijian was already ready to speak.  "King Wei Qiansui, my old minister disagrees with what you just said. Lord Xia (Shouyun) highly praised King Wei Qiansui in his memorial. From this point of view, King Wei Qiansui is indeed capable. Moreover, the current situation in Shaanxi is also  We need a clan leader who is as prestigious and powerful as the prince to be in charge!" Song Renzong couldn't help but nodded and said: "Seventh brother, what Lu Aiqing said is true, I don't think you can delay it!  If you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you!" Song Renzong also knew that it would be a big loss for Zhao Yan to leave Huahua Bianliang City and go to the Bianhan area, so he was very easy to talk to at this moment.  I specially made compensation for this and said that I will try my best to satisfy you.  Although it is not unlimited satisfaction, who is Song Renzong?  The master of a country, even if he is satisfied to a limited extent, is still an incredible gift.  Zhang Shixun also intervened at this moment and said: "Your Majesty, although Qinfeng Road does not need to be prosperous in Bianliang City, it is the time to serve the country at this moment. And I believe that although the Xixia thieves are fierce and frighten many people, your Majesty will never be afraid of Xixia  Damn it! Please don't refuse!" As soon as Zhang Shixun said this, Zhao Jian couldn't find the words to refuse.  If you refuse again, you will become a person who is greedy for wealth and afraid of Xixia.  This was a huge blow to the reputation Zhao Juan had worked hard to cultivate over the years.  Zhao Jian could only helplessly lower his head and said: "The officials and all the ministers said this to show their trust in my brother. How can I dare to refuse? I just?Some requests have to be made boldly!  " Song Renzong was not surprised and nodded readily. (To be continued)
