Chapter 214
The war in the north is about to begin, and the peace in Lin'an remains. ~
In the middle of winter, the West Lake is slightly bleak, with a vast water surface, with only half of the pond of remaining lotus, and it is still struggling to support it.
Lin'an was immersed in the glory of surviving the disaster. The Mongolian Khan led his troops to Fuzhou, and was about to go east to go to the Yangtze River. The panic in the city was right in front of him. Emperor Lizong even proposed to move the capital to Qingyuan Prefecture (Ningbo) in Chongzheng Hall to avoid Mongolia. He also charged Ding Daquan, who was in charge of "deception of the king and the superiors", and kicked out of Lin'an as the person responsible for the defeat in the front. The entire court suddenly became in chaos, and some were echoing the proposal to move the capital, and some were busy resigning to death. Of course, there were still many "righteous ministers" shouting and killing - not to kill Mengge Khan, but to kill the treacherous ministers who ruined the state...
But in a blink of an eye, the treacherous ministers had not yet been killed, and Lu Bu reported victory on the front line. The Mongolian Khan was defeated by Chen Dexing and Lu Wenhuan's troops in Tuochang area in the south of the Sichuan River. Not long after, good news came that the Mongolian Khan was killed in the Nantuochang front line, and the Mongolian army was defeated again at Moshiling, Luzhou. The Mongolian King Kublai Khan and Moge sent envoys to discuss peace.
Lin'an all breathed a sigh of relief. Then countless people began to write letters again, either to praise Jia Sidao, who was in charge of military affairs in front, or to invite merits for Chen Dexing, who made unparalleled achievements. The public opinion was also very sensational, and the streets and alleys were talking about these things. However, the Lin'an Palace was maintaining a strange silence.
The victory came so suddenly that almost overnight, many people felt that the people in Lin'an rose from the abyss were the Emperor Song. But no one could deny it. Chen Dexing, the biggest conscientious official in this war, defeated the 100,000 troops of Mengge Khan, and even killed the Khan himself. The result of this battle has proved that the Song Dynasty once again had a strong army no less than the Yue family army and a general no less than Yue Fei.
And how should such a powerful general be treated? Will Chen Dexing follow in the footsteps of Yue Fei, Yu Jie or Meng Gong?
In addition, Mengge Khan is dead, Mongolia and Song Dynasty have already negotiated peace, and there are rumors that there is a problem within Mongolia and there is an internal strife. I think the world will be peaceful. Does the Song Dynasty still need so many arrogant warriors? Should this issue of depriving the military power of warriors also be put on the agenda?
...
"Although the official family is Chen Dexing's biological father, I never ask about the matters of the Pili Navy. I really don't know that my unfilial son is so despicable. He is really sorry for the sage..."
Chen Huaiqing wore a green bell-collared official uniform, with a wide sleeve, a slim waist, a leather belt around his waist, and a squid head on his head. He bowed and followed Emperor Lizong, walking along the edge of the pond in Lin'an Palace. He looked at the nose and nose, and asked his heart, and didn't look at the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving around the official family. He looked like a virtuous minister. He said all the words of apologizing for his son Chen Dexing - just before the news of the victory in Nantuochang came. Several censors in Lin'an heard about the involvement of the Pili Navy's involvement in smuggling. So he wrote a memorial to impeach, and he shouted for a long time. However, Emperor Lizong had no time to pay attention to it... At that time, he was busy moving the capital to avoid disaster, so he had the heart to take care of this matter?
Unexpectedly, Chen Dexing became a great hero in the blink of an eye, and the hero was greedy for money and lust. It was never a sin! Often, the more corruption, the more concubines there were in the family, the more relieved the emperor...
Therefore, Chen Huaiqing apologized to Emperor Lizong today, but he praised his son for his skills in his heart - being a hero in the Song Dynasty means being greedy and despicable!
Emperor Lizong still looked like that. His face was pale and fat. He was hung with his head with his hands behind his back, and was listless. His body and heart were full of fatigue. To be honest, the burden on the Southern Song Dynasty was not something that Emperor Lizong could take on.
The water surface of the pond is a bleak winter scene. The vast water surface is only half of the remaining lotus, which is still struggling to support it. The water surface is covered with blue and black colors. As the north wind passes, circles of water waves slowly spread out.
Li Zong wore a thick fur robe, a fox fur wrapped around his neck, and his hands were still wrapped in his sleeves. He still shivered with so many clothes on him. His face was not visible, and it was covered with gray colors. His eyes were not very bright. Only by observing carefully can he vaguely find a trace of pathological sharpness.
He coughed softly, waved his hand, followed his eunuch Lu Yunsheng, and made a whisper. More than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs bowed and retreated a little further. Only then did Lizong turn his head and look at Chen Huaiqing, who had been living in the official examination room for half his life, except for raising a son like Yue Wumu, who had never done anything serious.
Li Zong's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of warmth: "Chen Qing's family, I still like your son very much. There is nothing great about selling some northern goods, not iron tools, flames, and sulfur... Who is not the military minister who led the troops in front of you? I know your family's family's situation. Since Chen Hushan died in his country, you have nothing to do. Chen Dexing is a commander and does not eat the empty amount or deduct military pay. How can he be enough for the whole family to spend money if he doesn't make a little profit? And there will be a big wedding in the future, but when your Chen family spends money, if it is really not enough, just tell me. I am rich in the world, and I will never let my daughter and son-in-law suffer poverty."
Chen Huaiqing's eyes turned slightly red and he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I thank God for my kindness for the dog. Such a kindness, I can't repay you if I'm broken..."
Emperor Lizong smiled faintly and turned around: "Good kindness?...If Dexing had not made contributions in Nantuochang and Moshiling, it would be hard to say whether the Song Dynasty could be saved. Go and tell Dexing that he doesn't have to take the censor's bullets seriously... As for money, don't worry, I can still make her poor with just one daughter? This time he made great contributions, so don't add Yao County. How troubles can you get promoted one step at a time? When the marriage is decreed, you will be a full-time official, a Chengxuan envoy, and a Zuo Jinwu Guard. You should have a title. First, you will be named a founding marquis, with a fief of 400, and a 100 households (actually not a few small money). In addition, Lin'er added the title of the twin princess, and the fief of the fief and salary are both double.
As for the land and houses, there is no need to worry about the houses. The house outside the Jiahui Gate is already under construction. There are also gifts on the edge of the West Lake outside the city, and 10,000 hectares of land in western Zhejiang and Fujian. In addition, since Dexing likes to do business, I will give him dozens of Lin'an shops..."
Emperor Lizong was nagging about the benefits he had prepared to give Chen Dexing. He really didn't mean to treat the heroes (actually, son-in-law and daughter).
A Zhengren Chengxuan is the third rank of the military official rank, and the above are the Jiedu and the Taiwei. Such an official position is extremely difficult to obtain, but the prince-consort is a relative and noble, and no matter how high the official is, there will be no real power. Therefore, it is much easier to get a high-ranking official - if Chen Dexing does not become a prince-consort, it is impossible for him to become a regular official in his twenties. Of course, if a regular official who is not a relative and noble, usually as long as he does not worship the temple (that is, a retired official such as a palace or a palace) does not enter the court, there will be a prefect, a prefect, or even a pacification all the way. The real power is incomparable to the relative and noble officials.
Although I can't get anything to do, the princess's dowry is still very good. The princess's mansion is luxuriously built, and the Feilou Road is even more grand than the palace garden. The big house beside the West Lake is also no less than the Princess' Mansion in the city. In addition, the rewarded land in western Zhejiang and Fujian is worth no less than one million yuan. In addition, when the princess gets married, she will bring countless rare treasures, which are worth no less than one million yuan. Such favor is indeed worthy of Chen Dexing's contribution.
Nagging and talking about a lot of things about his daughter's marriage, Emperor Lizong glanced gently, and saw that Chen Huaiqing's face was full of gratitude, so he smiled faintly, and turned around and said, "Jia Sidao and Wang Jian have reported recently that they should imitate the Pili Navy Army to train the new army. Jia Sidao also proposed to organize the troops in front of the hall on the basis of the Pili Navy Army. Wang Jian proposed to run Lin'an martial arts in accordance with the appearance of the Pili Navy Army in the martial arts school... Chen Qing's family, what do you think of these things?"
When Chen Huaiqing heard about the expansion of a new army on the basis of the Pili Navy, his brows frowned slightly. Although he was Chen Dexing's father, his words that he knew his son as good as his father did not apply to them. At least after Chen Dexing returned to Lin'an from Yangzhou, Chen Huaiqing felt that he didn't know much about this son.
"Reporting to the official family, the weak ministers are humble and talented, the matter of organizing the front army in the palace should be discussed and negotiated by the important officials of the court..."
"There is no need for this to be the case for the Chen Qing family," Emperor Lizong shook his head, "I only have one daughter, and I will soon be your daughter-in-law of Chen Huaiqing... Who else dares to say that you are a young official? As for your talent, how many people in the world can teach a son like Chen Dexing? What I mean, if you really want to do Lin'an martial arts well, you have to be the master of this... If you want to teach more tiger generals like Chen Dexing for the Song Dynasty, why worry about the world's peace?"
Is this... Chen Dexing's ability really taught himself? Chen Huaiqing was full of suspicion, but he had to agree with his face: "I must do my best to live up to the holy grace."
Emperor Lizong nodded with satisfaction and said in a voice with a little expectation: "No hurry, no hurry... It's not too late to make trouble for martial arts after Lin'er and Dexing's marriage is done."
