Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 247: The Governor of Fuyan Road! (8k today)
When Li Ding was hesitating, Zhao Xu did not look at him, but asked: "Let's discuss it. Su Yun has fought four battles and beheaded four hundred people, annihilated all the enemies, captured three hundred war horses, destroyed the enemy's plan, and trained a usable elite army. How should he be rewarded?"

Li Ding's face suddenly turned pale. If the emperor was still willing to blame him, it meant that he was willing to protect him. But now he didn't even look at him. The meaning was very clear. He was ready to go to the local place on his own.

Zhang Xu was also a little panicked. His situation was naturally much better than Li Ding's, but it was obvious that the emperor was obviously annoyed with them. He had originally wanted to eliminate Zhang Dun. Even if the emperor was angry, he would not take any drastic measures. But now that he couldn't get rid of Zhang Dun, he would be in trouble.

When Zhang Xu panicked, his body memory immediately dominated his behavior. He immediately said, "Your Majesty! Su Yun has made great contributions and should be greatly rewarded. I think that now that Zhong Yan, the governor of Fuyan Road, has passed away, Fuyan Road is in a tight spot. We should find someone who knows military affairs to take over. In this case, it is better to let Su Yun, who knows military affairs, take over!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Wang Gui felt that the current situation was very familiar.

One was the official's words, "Let's discuss how to reward the merits." He seemed to have heard these words many times in a short period of time.

Oh, it’s not an illusion. It happened once in the cave, once in the Dali Temple, and now again.

Secondly, the traitor Zhang Xu was caught in the imperial lecture before, and then he spoke nonsense, allowing the cunning boy Su Yun to succeed in his conspiracy, and now he is using the same trick again!
Bah, spineless coward!
Wang Gui said solemnly: "Zhang Canzheng is right! I also think that Su Yun knows military affairs and can serve as the governor of Fuyan Road.
In addition, Su Yun's official rank is relatively low, and I think he can be promoted as an exception. The emperor can grant him the title of a fifth-rank imperial doctor. In this way, the official positions and assignments will be matched. "

After these words were spoken, before Zhang Dun and others could express surprise, Zhang Xu was speechless and looked at Wang Gui.

Good for your husband Sanzhi, when it comes to being slick, you are the one to choose!

These words not only took away his credit for offering advice, but also made him look like he was commanding a high position. Damn it! No wonder he was the prime minister and he was just a politician!
Have to serve!

Li Ding looked at Wang Gui and Zhang Xu who were stabbing each other in the back, and felt sad. Alas, what stupid teammates they were following.

He was not decisive enough in what he was planning to do. If they all gambled everything on one throw like he did, Zhang Dun would definitely not end up well today. And after the failure, he would immediately beg for mercy. Haha, how sad!
Li Ding suddenly burst out with indignation, and he firmly bowed to Zhao Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I think that Su Juzheng's talent should not be in the border areas, but in the Secretariat. I think he should be promoted back to the capital and appointed as the Secretary of the Secretariat. After training him for a few more years, he will be a prime minister. He should not be wasting time in the border areas!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in Chongzheng Hall.

Wang Gui and Zhang Li both looked at Li Ding in a daze, and then looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: This Li Ding is a villain. Although Wang Gui (Zhang Li) is despicable, he is not so shameless. In order to avoid going to the place, Li Ding actually knelt and licked the boots to such an extent... It's really chilling!

Zhang Dun and Cai Que also looked at each other in bewilderment. They had broadened their horizons today. These three people were arrogant at first and then respectful, causing such a farce that it was really a bit laughable to watch.

This is a complete loss of face!
Well, but it's true. One is a prime minister who was elected three times (Wang Gui), one will do anything to get ahead (Li Ding fabricated all kinds of wrongful convictions, the Wudai Poetry Case was just the most famous one), and one turned against his allies in the middle of a battle (Zhang Xu turned against his allies at the imperial lecture). This is quite consistent with their usual style of doing things.

It makes sense that these three people worked so hard to climb up the ladder, and now they are working so hard to keep their positions. Zhang Dun was a little tempted. If Su Yun could come back and serve as a secretary in the central government, it would be more than a triple jump. It would be like walking a path that others have taken more than ten years to achieve!

Isn’t it true that Cai Jing was promoted quickly?
It took him a full ten years from passing the imperial examination in the third year of Xining to becoming a Zhongshu Sheren in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, which was already very fast.

It has only been two years since Su Yun entered the officialdom, and he is about to be promoted to the position of Zhongshu Sheren. This is really amazing!

If I can enter the Secretariat and serve as the Secretary of the Secretariat, then what's the point of being a General? The important thing is to come back quickly!
Zhao Xu was also stunned by the behavior of these three people. He was in a trance for a while before he came to his senses. On the one hand, he felt somewhat satisfied that Wang Gui and others bowed to him. On the other hand, he felt a little sad, thinking that the ministers he had appointed were of such shameless character...

However, Zhao Xu soon came to his senses. If he wanted to carry out reforms, he had to use obedient people who could get things done, so it was understandable that he would use people of average character.

Zhao Xu comforted himself in this way.

However, Zhao Xu himself was a little hesitant about how to reward Su Yun.

He knew very well that it was not a good thing for young people to be promoted too quickly, but after a moment, he strengthened his confidence - if he did not promote a capable person like Su Yun, would he have to rely on a bunch of good-for-nothings in the Western Army to fight against the Dangxiang people?
If we rely on them, do we have to hand over all the Suide troops to the Xixia people?
Humph, since you can't do it, then leave it to someone who can!

He is just a governor of Fuyan Road, not the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. If he doesn't do a good job, he can come back to the capital and study hard. If he does a good job, I will make him a prime minister in the future. So what?
The idea of ​​making great achievements finally prevailed in Zhao Xu's mind. He was already somewhat disheartened, but Su Yun's sudden emergence immediately made him feel a little excited again - why not give it a try.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Xu did not even ask Cai Que and Zhang Dun what they thought, but directly said, "Sheren Cai, draft the decree."

Cai Jing suppressed his shock and said quickly, "I am here."

Zhao Xu said: "Su Yun, the imperial attendant, was promoted to the rank of Imperial attendant, and was appointed as the governor of Fuyan Road and the governor of Yanzhou!"

Cai Jing quickly said, "Yes."

Cai Jing certainly knew that Su Yun was promoted very quickly. If Zhao Xu had decided on this matter alone, Cai Jing might have sealed the poem back to show his reputation of not obeying orders. But now all the prime ministers were here and had no objection to this, so there was no need for him to be the bad guy.

The imperial edict was quickly presented to Zhao Xu. After Zhao Xu took a look and found no problems, he stamped it directly. Then the three provinces also quickly approved it, and it was then quickly sent to the northwest through the imperial post.

Later, Li Ding wrote a letter requesting to be appointed to an external post. Zhao Xu did not try to keep him, but in view of Li Ding's good attitude, Zhao Xu sent him to be the governor of Caizhou. This was a good assignment, and Zhao Xu could bring him back at any time if he remembered.
