A few days later, battle reports came back one after another.

Except for Shuzhou, which was previously captured by Yao Pingzhong, the remaining four states have also been recovered. Among them, Hezhou and Huangzhou both left the city and surrendered, and the remaining two states also suffered little loss.

Then there are some aftermath matters, including registering the remaining officials in each city. Those who were surrendered or not surrendered. Those who escaped and saw the army recovered and ran back again. Basically, the names of the people and the rebels who came after them were recorded.

Write down everything you do.

Then Zhao Tong quickly sent the battle report and the roster to Tokyo, and sat in Luzhou to wait for news from the court.

The imperial court will definitely send a large number of officials to take over. As for whether the previous officials should be retained or held accountable, it depends on their respective methods.

Only then could the skills of these local officials be revealed. Zhao Tong only placed them under house arrest, but did not stop them from sending letters to the outside world. So the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers, and wrote letters to their patrons in the capital to complain and beg for mercy.<

/p>

But asking these people to pass the news to the outside world is not in vain. The money is collected according to the official level, the high one is ten thousand taels, the low one is one thousand taels. I'm sorry if I don't have the money, just wait for the court's decision.

If you have no money and claim to be an upright official, then you should ask this upright official why you took refuge with Wang Qing when he came, or why your whole family ran away before Wang Qing arrived.

The amount of money collected was more than 200,000 taels. Although it was not much compared to the gold and silver treasures seized from Wang Qing's palace, there was no need to hand it over.

However, the gold and silver in Wang Qing's palace amounts to one to two million taels, as well as all kinds of rare treasures. If converted into silver taels, it would probably more than double.

However, Zhao Tong could not hide all of them by himself, so he had to give some to Emperor Daojun.

This campaign against Wang Qing cost a huge amount of money and material resources. If the treasury had not had a surplus in the past few years, the court might not be able to support it.

But Emperor Daojun liked luxury. If he didn't have money, he would have to find other ways. Cai You and Wang Fu below were all good at making bad ideas, and there was no way they would impose them on the people.

And now there are still Tian Hu and Liangshan who are not in peace, and Fang La is ready to make a move. We must leave some vitality to the court. If we don't have money, we may not even be able to command the Western Army in the future, and then there will really be a landslide and tsunami.

In the end, Zhao Tong left one million taels of silver and a small part of the jewelry to his family, and also left a million taels of silver and most of the jewelry to the court.

As for the soldiers in the army, there is no need for rewards, they all get something. Even if they are useless, they can still get a few copper coins and a few pieces of silver.

The general who commanded the army, Zhao Tong, did not give any money. This cannot be given, especially to Liu Qi and others. If the money is given to these generals, once it is spread that it is the temper of Daojun and the emperor, and Gao Qiu and others add fuel to the fire, it will be impossible.

How to be suspicious.

But Zhao Tao can't take all the money back to Tokyo. After all, one million taels is too much, and even dozens of large cars are considered small. It will be a problem to send it to the palace without being seen by then.

So Zhao Tong ordered Ouyang Bei to take command of the two direct lineages of Longwei, the ninth and tenth in the left wing, and sent them to Fuzhou overnight after Zongze and others set off.

This matter should be avoided by everyone, and Zongze is no exception.

Fujian Road is a place where Zhao Tao has always been cautious about business. The fewer people know about it, the better. Even if his own family can avoid it, they must avoid it.

Half a month later, the imperial court sent Jiang You, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and brought a large number of officials to inquire about the Huainan West Road.

Zhao Tong knows better about Jiang You. He is not in the same party as Cai Jing, nor does he have any contact with Liang Shicheng, Tong Guan, etc.

Later historical records generally spoke out about this person.

To put it bluntly, this person is more upright and dares to speak out, but Zhao Tong knows that this so-called straightforward voice is actually just speaking on behalf of Daojun and the emperor.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is not available to everyone. It must be a trustworthy minister and an independent minister, and cannot form cliques. Even if the Prime Minister and Privy Council form a clique, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel cannot.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel can only be a member of the official family, the mouthpiece of the Daojun and the Emperor, and the one closest to the emperor among all the ministers.

Therefore, it is also called the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel.

Jiang You comforted the army. Logically speaking, now that the rebel army has been defeated and the entire West Huainan Road has been recovered, Zhao Tao should lead his troops out of the city to greet him.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek came with an imperial edict. There were seven types of imperial edicts in the Song Dynasty. One was called a book, the second was called a book, the third was called an imperial edict, the fourth was called an imperial edict, the fifth was called an edict, the sixth was called an imperial letter, and the seventh was called an edict.

This imperial edict to comfort the army is a kind of book-making, called a book-making of condolences. It is not given to a certain person, but is announced to the entire army. It is the emperor's decree to commend and condolences everyone.

Therefore, regardless of etiquette or rules, the coach must take his men out of the city to pick him up in person.

That morning, inside the Lianghuai Comfort Envoy, Zhao Tao was leaning on a big chair without saying a word.

The generals on both sides didn't know what he meant. As Tan Ma kept coming to report, Jiang You's team had arrived three miles outside Luzhou City, and everyone became anxious.

Zongze felt that it was no longer possible to remain silent at this time, so he said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Shangshu's team has arrived three miles outside the city. I'm afraid it won't take long to reach the city. Do you want to..."

"Zong Supervisor Army!" Zhao Tong sat up slightly and said calmly: "You lead the generals to greet you. You know the rules, so I won't go."

"Ah?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned. There was a great victory on the battlefield, the officials comforted the army, and the commander went out of the city to receive the order. This is actually a good thing. It has greatly improved Zhao Tong's reputation and prestige. It is estimated that it won't be long before Lu Lu

The storytellers in Zhoucheng can make up many stories to preach, but Zhao Yu actually doesn't want to go out of the city to receive the order?

"Your Majesty..." Zongze considered his words and said: "Recovering Huainan West Road depends entirely on your strategy. If your Majesty doesn't leave the city, my subordinates may not have enough status to meet the purpose of comforting the army, and the officials know about it.

It’s hard to say anything, so please think again.”

Zongze was a civil servant, so he mentioned that the emperor didn't have so many scruples, and he was thinking about Zhao Tong when he said this. He really couldn't figure out why Zhao Tong didn't accept the order.

This is a normal thing to welcome the order of comforting the army, and there is no such thing as great achievements. He really doesn't know what Zhao Tong thinks.

Zhao Tong glanced at him and said: "I have been working hard for the country in the past few years and have experienced many adventures. Now I have led the army to fight against rebellion and narrowly escaped death. My injuries have not healed yet. I really can't ride a horse and can't leave the city!"<

/p>

When Zongze heard this, there was resentment in his words, but it was true, Prince, that you were injured before, but are you feeling much better now? Just yesterday afternoon, you had a horse race with Yao Pingzhong!

He felt that he should give some advice. After all, Zhao Tong had been kind to him, and he was a guilty person at the beginning. It was Zhao Tong who found a way to avoid his guilt and promoted him to this point.

"Your Majesty..."

"Stop talking!" Zhao Tong waved his hand: "Now that I am seriously injured and can't mount my horse, I still go out of the city to receive any orders. I don't want to bring any more troublesome soldiers in the future. I will resign from the court with the officials this time when I go back."

Of all the positions I have held, I...will quit!"

Zongze was immediately stunned when he heard this. He couldn't get on the horse and quit... Are you serious?

Yao Pingzhong clicked his eyes below and secretly glanced at Zhao Tao. Do you really want to quit? You really don’t want to lead troops anymore? It’s not like that. My lord, you are hooking up with the third Uighur princess, but now you don’t have any soldiers.

, it won’t be easy if things leak out in the future. Don’t you want to go to Uighur and become your son-in-law?

Zhao Tong saw Yao Pingzhong's little move and snorted coldly: "I will quit my job. The Zong Supervisor Army will order some people to go out of the city to receive the order. I will return to my home to recuperate!"
