There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 580 Uncle Zhang

Who is handsome?

How many people in the court can be handsome now?

As a result, the court became lively again, and all the courtiers gathered to discuss who to choose as the commander-in-chief. Song Huizong was also happy to see them discussing together. Easier to recommend.

However, Song Huizong soon pulled his face down.

After discussing this for a long time, I saw you discussing it below, but no one came forward to recommend it. There is something wrong with it.

Seeing Song Huizong's face that might explode at any time, some courtiers who could read words and expressions immediately stepped forward to elect one person, who was the former Hussar General Sun Siyi.

Sun Siyi?

When this person was in Hebei, he made a lot of contributions. He fought Hebei Tianhu for a while, and wiped out several rebel generals of Tianhu.Later, Sun Siyi was dispatched to Beijing Northwest Road, which happened not long ago.

"Okay, Sun Siyi can do it, but I don't know if you ministers have any other candidates?"

As soon as Song Huizong agreed, someone else stood up in the court. He thought it was another person who stood up for election, but it turned out that this person objected as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Officials, although Sun Siyi has made great contributions and is free now, what the army needs this time is a commander. Sun Siyi is so difficult just to deal with a Hebei Tianhu, and this person's ability to command an army is too poor. Now he is going to lead an army to deal with Jinren, he can be a general, but not a commander."

"Aiqing is right."

Song Huizong also nodded: "Yes, this war is related to the stability and stability of the north. It is really necessary to select a good commander. Sun Siyi is really not good as a commander. Do you have any other recommendations?"

Looking at Song Huizong's expectant expression, there were two more people who stood up and elected in the audience.

However, no matter who elected these two people, they were similar to this Sun Siyi. They were acceptable as generals, but they were still a little short of handsome.

Afterwards, someone came out to nominate him. Although the nominated person was much better than Sun Siyi and others, he was not qualified to be handsome.

This time, it troubled everyone.

These civil servants gradually lost their minds.

In the Song Dynasty, culture was more important than military affairs, and all civil servants had their eyes above the top. How could they care about those warriors and generals?I never cared about the military generals in the army. It was at this time that they were selected. They knew so many generals there, let alone their talents.

The few people who are being elected now have interests related to some of the civil servants, so they will be elected on their own initiative.

Wang Fu, on the other hand, was silent today.

During the court meeting on weekdays, the newly promoted prime minister is the one who has the most right to speak, and is usually the one who speaks the most, but today he was elected here, but he did not see him speak.

Song Huizong had noticed Wang Fu for a long time. All the ministers had been elected, but Wang Fu hadn't seen him stand up yet. He waited for a while, and finally he ran out of patience. Now that there is such a big event in the north, you are a prime minister. Give me silence at this time, what do you mean?
"Does Wang Aiqing have any good talents to recommend?"

After being named by Song Huizong, Wang Fu stood up reluctantly.

At the time of Panhuan's gains and losses, Wang Fu finally made a choice.

"Officials and ministers have two recommendations."

"Oh, those two, Ai Qing might as well talk about it."

Wang Fu said: "The first one is Zhang Shuye, a direct scholar of Longtuge and the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture!"

"It's him."

Song Huizong was also surprised, how could he forget such a person.Zhang Shuye is from a family of officials and eunuchs, and his ancestors are all engaged in military affairs.This person built a garrisonable city called Xi'an Prefecture in Dadu to guard the northwest border.It effectively curbed the invasion of the Qiang people, alleviated the anxiety of the frontier instability for the court, and at the same time relieved the hardships of the soldiers who were trapped near the river and could not be disarmed for months.

Later, he served as the magistrate of Xiangcheng and Chenliu counties, as well as the magistrate of Shu, Hai, and Taizhou, the member of the Treasury Department, the Kaifeng Fushao, and the Qianyou Division member.He also went on a mission to the Liao Kingdom. After returning from the mission, he drew all the materials of the Liao Kingdom's mountains, rivers, city walls, servers, and instrument models, and submitted them to the court.

This matter was very troublesome in the court at the beginning. With these data maps, it provided a lot of help for the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao people.

Unfortunately, because his younger brother Zhang Kegong had impeached Cai Jing, Zhang Shuye was also implicated. Cai Jing angered Zhang Shuye, secretly collected Zhang Shuye's faults, and demoted Zhang Shuye to Xi'an Grassland Supervisor.When Zhang Shuye came back a few years later, he was promoted to the Minister of Rites because of the disadvantages of reforming "Kong Huang".But he was afraid that he would be promoted too quickly, so he would avoid Zen Cai Jing, so in the end he asked for the status of a prefect of Haizhou, and went down to Ren Zhizhou.

This person is known for his military talent and far-sighted military vision.

It was because of what happened to Cai Jing that we ended up where we are now.

If Song Huizong hadn't spoken in the court today and asked everyone to recommend talented people to be handsome, Wang Fu would not have thought of Zhang Shuye for a while.

Wang Fu knew the details of Cai Jing's framing of Zhang Shuye back then, and some of the information was obtained by him, Wang Fu himself, and he was also involved in this matter.Originally, Wang Fu was unwilling to recommend Zhang Shuye, but the situation is different now.

The Jinren ate Yanyun within a day, and this aura scared everyone here.

No one knows what happened to the north, but at the speed of the Jin people, I am afraid that the whole north will be destroyed by then. Then it's no fun at all.

It was also because of this that Wang Fu finally recommended Zhang Shuye after Panhuan's gains and losses.

Compared with the grievances with Zhang Shuye, the whole north is obviously more important at this time, and now that he is also the prime minister with great power, he is not afraid of Zhang Shuye's revenge.

"Well, Zhang Shuye, he is very nice."

Recalling Zhang Shuye's achievements, especially in the military, Song Huizong also recognized his talent, and now there is a lack of coaches here, Zhang Shuye's talent is enough to be the coach.

"Wang Qing, who is this second person?"

Song Huizong did not rush to issue an imperial edict, but asked Wang Fu, the second person recommended.

Wang Fu said: "The second person is a criminal judge."

"Criminal officer? What crime has this person committed? If the crime is not serious and he is talented, then he will be spared the crime and let him be used by the country."

PS: Let me tell you something. In the previous chapters, Wanyan Agu could destroy the Liao Kingdom by getting a letter from him.Many readers don’t understand and think it’s too fake.This incident was actually revised based on a real history. In the real history, although Wanyan Aguda did not get a letter, he did get a surrendered general from the Liao people. This surrendered general was originally a high official of the Liao Kingdom, and he All the truth and falsehoods of the Liao Kingdom were told to Wanyan Aguda, and then Wanyan Aguda attacked Liao for the third time. It was during this attack on Liao that he destroyed the Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop.
