Chapter 120 Mission

Zhao Heng had a calm expression. After giving Qin Hui a few more instructions, he ordered Qin Hui to retreat, turned to Han Xiaowei and smiled: "I know you have worked hard recently. Now I have a special order to go forward and give you money and property. I hope you can do your best and don't let me down."

Han Xiaowei was shocked at first, then moved, but he really couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions, so he had to bow down deeply and answer, "I thanked Your Majesty, but I was ashamed to take it."

"Why don't you dare to take it? I think you deserve it, that's what you deserve."

Han Xiaowei was moved and knew that he was the emperor and had a great weight. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Huan laughed again: "I first knew you, but I was still arguing with Feilun when you were ordered to go on an envoy that day."

"I am very crazy and perverse." When Han Xiaowei heard the emperor mention this, he didn't care about it that day. In fact, he often regretted it, and he even sweated his forehead at this time.

"Where did you hear it, and how did you see it? You have the manners of the Jin people, and I am happy."

Zhao Huan praised him a few more words, but turned the conversation and said with a smile: "I always read history and I like the ministers during the Qin and Han dynasties that were dedicated to things but not to talk about words. The scholars and officials of this dynasty were not inferior to those of the previous dynasty, but were not as good as those of the dynasty. Most of them talked about empty talk, but there were too few pragmatic people.

Although it is not as mysterious as the Jin people, it is actually a matter of exchanging the Tan Zhuang Lao to talk about Confucius and Mencius, which is a high-sounding word, but how can we benefit the country?"

He reached out to stop Han Xiaowei, who wanted to defend himself, and then said, "You are dissatisfied when you hear this. This person is naturally better than ordinary people when talking about personality poetry and historical knowledge. However, knowledge is great, and it may not be good to use it for politics. After you go back, good students will study Sima Guang's life records, carefully consider what his words, actions and affairs are beneficial to the country, and then come to talk to me. When Wang Anshi was giving lectures in Jiankang, the five questions asked were all to the point. So what if the two were compared? I know that you are solemn and upright, so that you know that writing imperial edicts is not your talent. If I develop the Imperial Academy in Chang'an, I will focus on you, so you don't have to say it first, go back and think about it first."

If Zhao Huan uses the power of the emperor to suppress it, Han Xiaowei will definitely not accept it. At this time, he talked and asked questions with kind words. Han Xiaowei had to respond continuously. Seeing that Zhao Huan showed fatigue, he immediately resigned.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he met Li Xianzhong. Seeing the other party's armor and walking with his sword, Han Xiaowei was not like an ordinary civil servant. He had natural fear and guard against military generals. After knowing that the other party knew about his position, he was cautious in everything and was solemn in the palace. Even Zhe Yanshi, who was young, even though he was a useful talent, he nodded to Li Xianzhong and said, "The imperial order has been sent to the general, right? Don't refuse too much, otherwise I will be so sad."

This is a small joke. When an appointment of officials or high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty, they had to push left and right when appointing them. For example, Shenzong appointed Sima Guang as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Sima Guang refused eight times, and when Wang Anshi resigned as a minister, Shenzong kept them seven times. In this way, the ministers held the written documents themselves, and the emperor's appointment and reply letters must be written by Zhizhi. Li Xianzhong's appointment, as usual, naturally, he would have to refuse several times. This is because Han Xiaowei said that.

Li Xianzhong also smiled, his eyes were bright and he chanted towards Han Xiao's stomach: "The country is troublesome, there is no need for these official articles anymore. Xianzhong was ordered by the emperor to go on a business trip, how dare he delay it!"

"Okay!" Han Xiaowei was stunned at first, then applauded. At this time, he understood a little bit about what Zhao Fu said about the civil servants who were just talking too much, but were flamboyant and unpragmatic.

After Li Xianzhong said goodbye to Han Xiaowei, he immediately came in to see Zhao Huan and listened to the opportunity. When he said goodbye in the evening, it was already dusk in the west. The faint light of the setting sun shone under the eaves of the towering underground palace. The north wind whistled, and the red clouds in the distance became heavier. It was obvious that another heavy snow would fall.

He let out a few breaths of white breath, and saw that several of his subordinates were lying on their heads after work and were looking at him. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and shouted: "What are you looking at? Come here."

Everyone came slowly, and Li Xianzhong laughed and scolded: "Do you all know that I was ordered?"

They are all affiliated with the Nei Dianzhi of Sichuan and Shaanxi. They are all from Western Army families. They are from Western Army families, and they do not have a strict distinction between superiors and subordinates, so they are not afraid of laughing. After hearing Li Xianzhong's question, everyone replied in a lingering manner: "The general was ordered, but he did not explain clearly what he did?"

Li Xianzhong glanced slightly and saw that the people in front of him were indeed his confidants, and he was planning to take them all away. He immediately smiled and said, "There is no big deal, it's just that Your Majesty ordered me to go to Mobei."

Many of the guards in front of him were newcomers. When Li Xianzhong answered, he was shocked and puzzled. Only one old classmate who had been in the palace for several years suddenly realized and clapped his legs and smiled: "Your Majesty returned from the north and came back from the north to the north, and he was given a lot of 300 Mongolian cavalry. What was the send by the Mongolian barbarians in Mobei. Your Majesty obviously wanted to repay the favors he had back then."

"Yes, this is exactly this." Li Xianzhong said calmly and calmly: "This time, Your Majesty ordered me to go to Mobei to thank Hebule Khan for his virtue of giving troops. He brought some gold, silver, silk and satin to run to the grassland."

The guard was just now and asked, "Why do you choose this time? It's cold and cold now. I'm afraid that the bitter cold in Mobei will not be easy to leave."

Li Xianzhong said with a stern face: "We are hardworking in the king's affairs, so how can we be afraid of the cold weather? Besides, if we don't take advantage of this time, we will be afraid of fighting again in spring and summer. At that time, the war was in chaos, and the Jin soldiers and cavalry were also patrolling around, which was much more dangerous than now."

His mission is extremely painful, not as good as the Song envoys to Liao Kingdom, and the other party also had good wine and food to greet him, and there was no problem with personal safety. After all, the other party had been established for many years, and the rules and regulations were all subject to the Liao Kingdom. Although he had the bad habit of seizing envoys, he was finally a grand country.

However, Li Xianzhong was going thousands of miles away, rushing to the wind and snow, but he saw the leader of a tribe in the northern part of Mo. The advantage was that he could not get it. Hard work was certain. It was normal to lose his life if he was careful to meet a team of Jin soldiers patrolling in the northern part of Mo.

Although everyone knew it well, because they were close to Li Xianzhong, they shrank back at this time, and it would be too difficult to be a human being in the future. They immediately said, "Since the general is going to go this time, we are all willing to follow each other."

"I knew you would definitely not pretend to be a coward." Li Xianzhong was in a good mood. He punched the chest one by one in these classes, and then smiled: "Everyone goes home to prepare for luggage and greets his family.

Don't worry, this time it's not a military campaign. Everyone will remember great achievements once after they come back."

"Okay, thank you General."

This time, everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts. The current military merit system is very strict. Each department has corresponding officers, and the military law is extremely strict. The situation of seeking people to trust relationships like before, or receiving more credits based on their family background to grant official positions, no longer exists. As the only way out for each family, everyone is only as a banzhi of the emperor, and then leaves the palace to serve as a middle and lower-level officer, or goes directly to the martial arts lecture hall, learns military tactics and commands various military knowledge, and then goes out to the army to be a general.

Many children of aristocratic families have chosen the second one in these two paths, and many of them are confident in their literary and military strategies, so they choose to first enter the palace to serve as a banzhi, and then directly select them as officers. In this way, it is particularly important to reward meritorious deeds. Although Li Xianzhong's mission is hard, his life is actually very small, so it is naturally better.

However, they didn't know that Li Xianzhong would not be happy to choose them to follow him. If Zhao Huan hadn't tried to let him choose more class straight and go out to experience, these class straight and straight children who were above the top but had very average actual talents.

After driving the people away, Li Xianzhong rode his horse and left the palace gate. In the past few days, Zhang Xian was ordered to come to Beijing and was living in the Fengsheng Army camp outside the city. His mission was actually of great mission. He was just following these inner hall squads, so he really couldn't let it go.

When Zhang Xian's camp was about to catch up with the camp, the training of the new recruits of the Fengsheng Army had been completed. Many non-commissioned officers from veterans followed, shouting loudly and reprimanding, correcting the new recruits' military posture and appearance.

Li Xianzhong smiled when he saw it. As a general of aristocratic family, the atmosphere in the military camp really made him feel comfortable.

He and Zhang Xian knew each other since the Taiyuan battle. They admired each other and had a deeper relationship. When Zhang Xianzhongjun saw that he was here, they smiled and refused to check.

Zhang Xian was in the tent. As the sky was getting dark, there was a candle in the tent. Li Xianzhong looked at it and saw Zhang Xian sitting cross-legged in the tent, dazed.

He opened the tent door, laughed in, and said to Zhang Xian: "Brother Zhang, why does it seem to be full of worries?"

Zhang Xian raised his eyelids and saw that it was Li Xianzhong who had entered the account. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm counting that you have already paid the deposit, why are you here now?"

Li Xianzhong didn't say anything and handed the edict in his hand to Zhang Xian. Zhang Xian took it with him. After reading it quietly, he thought for a while and said to Li Xianzhong: "I'm afraid it's not just about Xie Hebule Khan."

"Brother is indeed an old corpse, hitting the nail on the head." Li Xianzhong smiled slightly and said to Zhang Xian:

"This matter is confidential, but because General Zhang wants to work together, I don't hide it from it."

He changed his private name to the official title, which obviously meant to implement it after asking the emperor. Zhang Xian did not dare to neglect it, so he straightened his waist and stared at Li Xianzhong and said, "I hope to hear the details."

"This trip is naturally not just thanking for your feelings back then. Your Majesty has an agreement with Helio. If Your Majesty regained power, Helio will be willing to help the army. This is one of them."

"Oh?" Zhang Xian's face turned pale and he sneered: "I, a soldier of the Song Dynasty, is so unworthy of His Majesty's trust. I want to learn from Emperor Tang to borrow foreign troops? I am afraid that the front door will drive away wolves and the back door will get into the tiger!"

Li Xianzhong said: "If that's not the case, Your Majesty may have the Uighurs entering Chang'an to burn and rob. Besides, the Mongols are fierce, Your Majesty said he has his own way. But there will be a big battle next year. If the Mongols slashed hard in the enemy's heart, what will it work? The general has good plans, how about thinking about it carefully?"

Zhang Xian was silent for a long time, and after a long time, Fang said: "It's fine, there are two more?"
