The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 338: The Long Road to the West (3)

Gao Chong fulfilled his thoughts in one go and handed them over to Zhao Lishen to see that they received his support. So the two jointly submitted a petty horse to the capital, and the rest was waiting in uneasy. The generals were unwilling to discuss state affairs and were always the Song Dynasty.

The hall is afraid of, especially the generals who lead troops outside, even if they have good intentions, it can easily make people think of self-respecting and separating the overseas mind. If this matter is not done well, it will cause a storm. Don't say

When the Western Liao sent troops to intervene, their own people recalled them.

Although he was worried about being impeached by the court officials, Gao Chong did not give up his ideas. Of course, he did not dare to set up states and counties to appoint local officials. Wouldn't that be labeled as a rebellion on himself? Therefore, he could only use the most basic

Starting with the emperor for so many years, he still knew that the emperor started his business by farming and knew that agriculture and animal husbandry was the foundation of the development of a place. Although the Zhenzhou area was full of rivers, there was a lack of water conservancy facilities, especially here

The perfect water conservancy facilities in semi-arid areas protect farmers' income and agricultural development, especially to resist natural disasters.

Therefore, Gao Chong made the repair and dredging of river canals the top priority in building a town. According to the local facts, when building channels, the plan of trunk canals first and then branch canals was adopted. Considering that the local people were poor and poor, he asked the army to support agricultural water conservancy construction, and they were responsible for the trunk canals.

The local people are responsible for the branch canals. In order to mobilize people of all ethnic groups to participate in water conservancy construction, the mainland has also introduced the method of labor-for-relief. People are recruited in the name of the Western Expedition Army Commander's Office, and channels are built, and food is distributed to the people after the autumn harvest.

Considering that the local people only know Khitan and do not know Chinese characters, the General Administration issued a law requiring all announcements, the grain tax list and contract documents to use both Khitan and Chinese styles, so that the local people can see it at a glance, so as not to bully the farmers and herdsmen.

Ordinary people are slapping arbitrarily without knowing Chinese characters. At the same time, Gao Chong also strictly entangled the local officialdom and cleaned up all the powerful landlords who oppressed the people. A series of measures have inspired the enthusiasm of local people to develop production, and the situation has become increasingly

It is beneficial to the Song Dynasty...

Two months passed in a flash, and the Western Expedition Army helped the local people build 100 main canals and more than 400 branch canals. It greatly improved the basic conditions of the local agricultural and animal husbandry production. The longest main canal was called "Gaogong Canal" by the locals.

To commemorate. However, in the face of the good situation in front of him, Gao Chong was not happy. Snow was flying outside the border in August, and if the army continued to advance, it would have to cross two mountains. If it did not move, it would have to wait for the coming year.

"Report to the commander-in-chief. The military supervisor asked you to go home quickly!" Just as Gao Chong was staring at Nan Guifeiyan in a daze, a personal soldier came to report.

"Oh, when did you get so anxious?" Gao Chong asked with a frown.

"Report to the Grand Commander, the imperial envoy in the court has arrived and is waiting in the General's Mansion!" the personal soldiers replied.

"Why did the imperial envoy report it?" Gao Chong was shocked. The imperial envoy was on a tour and the emperor came in person. They were going out to meet ten miles away. Now that everyone has arrived at the General's Mansion, he knows that he has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"Master, the imperial envoy has never had a ceremonial guard, only a dozen followers, and has not reported in advance. Therefore, no one knows when the imperial envoy will enter the city." The personal soldier saw Gao Chong's bad expression and shrank his neck in fear and explained.

.

"Who is the visitor?" Gao Chong asked again. If the old brothers could handle it for a while, they would not blame him for being inappropriate. The ones they feared the most were those civil officials who had a lot of things.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, I don't know anything about it. It is said that he is the Chief Censor Chen Dong and Chen!" The personal soldiers raised their eyes and looked at Gao Chong and answered carefully.

"How could it be him? Alas, it's a blessing, it's not a disaster, it's a disaster!" Gao Chong frowned deeper, and his worries became reality. It must be his commentary that caused trouble.

The matter seems to be even more serious than what Gao Chong thought. The Censorate specializes in investigating and punishing illegal officials, and Chen Dong is a famous ghost in the court. No matter how close or alienate he is, he will be unlucky. But he will be in trouble.

It was hard to take it, and I thought that such a result might occur. Anyway, things have come to this point, and I can only face it. I think the emperor would not kill his life because of his past relationship. At most, he would lose his official position and dismissal...

"Mr. Chen, I was unable to welcome you in person, please forgive me!" Gao Chong returned to the coach's mansion and saw someone sitting in the hall. Zhao Li was accompanying him to use tea. He was either the censor Chen Dong, even though he had washed up.

But it still can't hide the fatigue. It seems that the journey is very hard.

"Supervisor doesn't need to be polite, be prepared to accept the order!" Chen Dong bowed and returned the gift without being polite, and said with a calm face.

Gao Chong felt a chill when he saw Chen Dong's attitude so cold. Although the two had not had a deep friendship, they had been ministers in the same palace for many years and met thousands of miles away from their hometown. Not to mention the tears, they even saved the greetings.

, It must not be a good thing, otherwise this would not be the attitude. I was very up and down, but I had to be less polite. After Gao Chong washed and changed his clothes, the incense table had been arranged in the hall.

"I, Gao Chong, received the order!" Gao Chong was willing to go out anyway. After burning the incense, he knelt down and kowtowed and said loudly.

"I feel very comforted!"

"Mr. Chen..." Hearing the first sentence was not bad, Gao Chong felt a little wider, but he knelt on the ground with his butt sticking out and waited for a long time but lost the following. He looked up and asked in confusion.

"Supervisor Gao thanks you!" Chen Dong had already rolled up the imperial edict and held it in his hands waiting for him to pick it up.

"This... I will accept the order, long live, long live, long live!" Seeing Zhao Li smiled and nodded to him to accept the order quickly. Gao Chong knew that his junior brother had always been too lazy to write, but this far away made people give him a gift.

I brought four words myself, this is too much!

"Mr. Chen, does Your Majesty have any instructions?" Gao Chong got up and took the imperial edict, opened it and confirmed that there were only four words, and asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty has no other orders!" Chen Dong shook his head, and there was still no smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I am stupid and still don't understand the holy intentions. Please explain it!" Gao Chong became even more confused. He couldn't figure out whether these four words were a compliment to him or a dissatisfied with what he did? If it was a compliment,

But he did not clarify his next action; if he was dissatisfied, what was the meaning of sending such a person to pass the order?

"Haha..." Zhao Li and Chen Dong laughed together as they looked at Gao Chong's embarrassing look, but it made him even more confused.

"Sir Gao, Your Majesty's will has been clearly stated. I highly appreciate your strategy of managing Mobei. I praise you in front of the ministers as a rare talent in the Song Dynasty with both civil and military skills. I have ordered the Shangshu Province to start implementing this.

When the official saw this, you had already taken action first. I saved a lot of effort from my official. I thanked me first!" Chen Dong said after laughing enough.

"It turns out that Lord Chen can joke, but I scared me into a cold sweat, thinking that Your Majesty sent me to investigate me!" Gao Chong then breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "But what if you save your energy, what if you

speak?"

"Master, no matter how good the strategy is, someone will implement it. Lord Chen volunteered to ask His Majesty to take charge of Mobei. He has been appointed by His Majesty as the Northwest Road Commander to manage Mobei!" Zhao Li took over the words and said with a smile.

"Oh, then congratulations to Lord Chen, but why are you here alone?" Gao Chong bowed and congratulated and smiled. It was ridiculous but not natural. An inexplicable loss surged in his heart. It should be that the new official had already taken office.

The troops returned to the court, and the vigorous Western Expedition ended in a slight manner.

"Haha, I need more guidance from Gaoshuo! I originally wanted to select officials and mobilize military troops for several days, but His Majesty was worried about missing the military opportunity, so I had to hurry up to come and pass the imperial edict, and the subsequent brigade of troops would follow up.

Then it will be opened, and I am just taking one step first!" Chen Dong replied with a smile.

"Well, so that's it. When the team of people arrives, I can return to the court to hand over the order!" Gao Chong said sadly. He was lucky, thinking that the emperor would use a team of men in the general's mansion to manage Mobei.

I heard Chen Dong say that he had completely lost his thoughts.

"Supervisor Gao is afraid he will not be able to go back for a while. The Privy Council has ordered the Western Expedition Army to continue attacking the west and destroy Gaochang!" Chen Dong waved his hand, and then passed it to Gao Chong from his entourage behind him.

"It's great. If Xixia hadn't broken the contract, our army might have already been in the south of Tianshan Mountain!" This was really a turn of the road, and the dead tree met the spring. Gao Chong slapped his thigh and shouted.

"Things are not that simple. Stop moving westward because a major event happened in the court. It has just subsided..." Chen Dong informed the two of them about the whole story of the abdication of the storm, which explained the risks at that time, but fortunately it has not subsided.

Causes a large shock.

"So that's the case. Someone is trying to harm the emperor. Fortunately, they stopped in time. Otherwise, I would have led the army back to the country to suppress the rebellion and kill them without leaving them!" Gao Chong said furiously after hearing this.

"Super Gao Shuai, please stop being angry. Your Majesty is worried that you will not be able to calm down and have not informed you so as not to affect the plan of the Western Expedition. Now Your Majesty has sent an envoy to Xixia to ask why he broke the contract, and is also worried that the northwest will be too late to block the mountain in winter and it will be difficult to cross the two on the way.

The mountain missed the opportunity to fight, so I sent my official to take over Zhenzhou day and night!" Chen Dong quickly changed the subject. He knew that these two people had an extraordinary relationship with the emperor, and what happened to him was that they would not have any trouble.

It's hard to clean up.

"Your Majesty is really planning and winning thousands of miles away. All these things have come to mind!" Zhao Li and Gao Chong looked at each other and said, they thought of them as the emperor.

"Your Majesty has another piece of advice, and I want my official to convey to the Gaoshang and the Supervisor." Chen Dong said with a smile, and he also felt that the reason why the emperor was able to calm the turmoil successfully was not fortunate to force the Jin Kingdom, but because of his careful

Design, taking into account all aspects of things, is ready before danger comes.

"Your Majesty has some advice, Lord Chen, please speak!" Gao Chong said respectfully.

"Your Majesty thinks that this time the troops are sent to the Western Liao Dynasty will inevitably fight, but they must be treated differently..." Chen Dong truthfully told the emperor's words to the two...
