"Turn the opportunity?" Zhang Jun was stunned when he heard He Li's words, "Wenzhen, what do you want to do?"
He Li held her beard, "It's not what I want to do, but what the prince wants to do?"
"Crown Prince..." Zhang Jun took a breath, "Crown Prince..."
This year is the sixth year of Xuanhe, which is 1124 AD. Zhao Ji's eldest son Zhao Huan is 26 years old, showing all the qualities that a crown prince of the Song Dynasty should have, and is very close to the retro party members who are determined to reform. The prince's teacher Geng Nanzhongze has always been a supporter of the retro party members.
Although the prince himself has never expressed his support for the retro party, everyone knows that behind the retro party, this prince must be standing!
The retro party members also have a lot of expectations for the crown prince.
After all, Zhao Ji has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and by his heart, he has done a lot of things. Without this battle between Song and Zhou, he would probably have been kept in history as a wise monarch and holy lord.
Looking through history, people who work as emperors often work hard to govern for the first ten years. When emperors are over twenty years, they should be in a state of depression.
It is basically a dream to let an emperor implement major reforms after he ascended the throne for more than 20 years.
Moreover, Zhao Ji had already promoted a major change in the first half of his life. How could he have a second major change?
Therefore, Zhao Ji's life pattern has been decided, and he will just live a life of life and wait for death. If the retro party members want to realize their revenge, the only one who can count on is the crown prince Zhao Huan.
He Li held his beard and seemed to sigh, "In fact, what the officials today do is better than the many late emperors of the Song Dynasty.
If it weren't for Wu Haogu, Wu Yijiu's father and son, the official family would be the wise monarch and lord. Ji Yizhi and the other five thieves would also be famous officials who have been famous in history!
If there were 300,000 new troops, Liao Kingdom, Western thieves and so on a few decades and one hundred years earlier, they would have been flattened!
What a pity, it’s a pity... Since Yu was born, how could he be! There are 300,000 new troops in our dynasty, and there are 1 million new troops in the Eastern thief!"
In fact, where did Zhou Kingdom, Zhao Ji, Ji Yi and others copy them?
This is like the European powers in the 18th century and the 19th century, and there are a lot of awesome countries! Do you all have wise rulers and good ministers? You copied me, I copied you, and finally copied them together as the great powers?
However, the powerful powers copied out also have strengths and weaknesses, which is related to their respective historical burdens, geographical situations, and the comprehensive strength of the country.
Zhao Song's comprehensive strength was not weak, but his historical burden was too heavy and the geographical situation was not good enough. The former was trapped by the tradition of unsuppressing mergers and enrolling scholars in the imperial examinations, while the latter was trapped by the vast and closed inland.
Therefore, Zhao Song's progress on the road of capitalism was not as thorough as the emerging Great Zhou Republic.
And the thorough reform seems to be something that Zhao Ji, who has been an emperor for more than 20 years, could have been able to carry out.
If the Song Dynasty wants to get a way out, a new monarch must ascend the throne!
He Li whispered: "Li Taifa, Zhao Yuanzhen, Yuwen Shutong, and Chen Shaoyang all mean this!"
The people he mentioned are Li Guang, Zhao Ding, Yuwen Xuzhong and Chen Dong. They are now big shots in the retro party.
Among them, Li Guang was Fu Baolang, who was the emperor's seal and military talisman. Zhao Ding is now an official who is in charge of the affairs of the Dengwenwen Procuratorate, who is in charge of the people and scholars. Yuwen Xu was a senior official after all, and is now a Hanlin scholar. Chen Dong was promoted to the Juntian Office and guarding the base camp of the retro party.
Now, Zhang Jun, the head of the military computer room of the Privy Council, and He Li, the secretary of the Secretariat and the lecturer, are the latest version of the Six Retro Gentlemen.
However, these six gentlemen have no military power. It is probably not realistic to drive Zhao Ji away if they want to support the prince to the stage?
"The country must have a turning point," Zhang Jun whispered, "but the military power of Kaifeng Prefecture is not in our hands. How can we act?"
"The prince is very filial!" He Li said, "so he can only wait for the official to abdicate himself..."
"I abdicate myself?" Zhang Jun shook his head, "Is he willing?"
"Wait!" He Li said, "When the East thief arrives at Xijing, maybe he will be willing."
"What? The thief from the east can attack Xijing?" Zhang Jun shook his head, "Impossible, impossible... I'm just here to Taiyuan Prefecture now! How could it be so fast?
When fighting, it is not only possible to fight or rush, but also to have food and drink! Now that the Eastern thieves have been in depth for more than 700 miles, the food and grass consumed are unlikely to be transferred from Yan land, and most of them will have to be conquered as they fight.
As long as the Hedong side can strengthen the walls and clear the fields and make the Eastern thieves have no chance to seize them, they will not be able to immediately approach the Yellow River."
"Okay, Deyuan is indeed a soldier!" He Li smiled bitterly, "Then let's take a look, look... The Eastern thief is coming in a fierce manner, and I'm afraid there will be a way to raise food!"
...
The method of the Great Zhou Republican Army in raising grain was spread to Kaifeng Prefecture in early February.
It was a castle built by the Hedong Xuanfu Department who moved to Taiyuan Xicheng, which was reported by the Hedong Xuanfu Department, which was built to facilitate the Jin soldiers' southward journey. It was not a castle, but an old square castle, but a cannon that could fire 6 kilograms of cannonballs.
The castle is located west of the Fen River and is across from Taiyuan East City.
Now Taiyuan East City has been surrounded by three sides, so Hedong Xuanshu Zhang Xiaochun moved to Taiyuan West City.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaochun also found out something surprising.
The Eastern Bidder, that is, the Zhou Kingdom will hold the imperial examination in Hedong! Moreover, the Hedong scholars who are high school students can also get the privilege of exempting land tax and exempting from service!
"Your Majesty, the Eastern thieves are going to win over the Hedong scholars and officials for their use!"
In the Qionglin Palace, Dazai Kiyi immediately saw through Wu Yijiu's tricks.
"Your Majesty, Hedong scholars and officials have been deeply favored by the Song Dynasty and will never be tempted by some small profits." Shao Zai Su Chi replied, "And the Eastern thief is a country of industrial and commercial mobs after all. Even if he takes the imperial examination, he will not really govern the country with the scholars and officials. It is just a temporary solution."
This is...political correct!
However, Ji Tseng Xiang knew that the scholars and officials in Hedong would definitely be fooled! Didn’t the scholars and officials like the most the imperial examination and tax evasion? Now that they have both, what else are they dissatisfied with?
"Your Majesty," Zhang Shuye, the official in the Privy Council, said, "The East thieves tempted the scholars of Hedong with tricks. I am afraid that someone will be shaken! There will be a hard battle in Hedong. I am not talented and willing to go out to seize Heshuo."
The purpose of leaving Heshuo is to be Hedong and Xuanfu in Shuofang... Of course, the Xuanfu Department's headquarters is not in Taiyuan, but should be placed in a certain place close to Shuofang, or simply in Yinzhou on Shuofang Road.
Old fox!
Ji Yi cursed in her heart and immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, there are few officials and soldiers in Hedong now, and the new army is only one general, and it is not enough to barely maintain it, so it is difficult to repel the Eastern thieves.
I suggest that Zhang Xiaochun be transferred to the Yongxing Army Road Advisor and recruit new troops in Shaanxi to fight against the Eastern thieves.
In addition, Xuzhou and the Donghai Kingdom should also strengthen defenses to prevent the East Pirates from invading from the sea."
"Let Zhang Xiaochun go to Jingzhao Mansion?" Zhao Ji frowned, "What should I do with Taiyuan Mansion?"
"Liu Guangshi can also serve as the prefect." Zhang Shu said at night, "Liu Guangshi is a military officer and a good general. He can definitely defend Taiyuan."
"Where is Zhang Qing going to set up the Xuanfu Department?"
"I want to go to the prefectures and prefectures to take charge." Zhang Shu said at night, "Hefulin, Shuofang, Lingzhou, and the Jurchen soldiers attacked the enemy's side and back."
"Okay!" Zhao Ji nodded repeatedly, "That's great! So who can succeed the Privy Council?"
"I recommend Cai You to succeed as the Chief Secretary of the Privy Council." Ji Yi immediately recommended Cai Jing's son Cai You.
Because now the candidate who can replace Ji Yi, Dazai, is the elderly Cai Jing.
If Cai You presided over the Guanfu, he could block Cai Jing's way back to the political affairs hall because Zhao Ji could not let his son take charge of the army and his father take charge of the government.
"In addition," Ji Yi said, "I suggest that Cai Jing judge the Xiangyang Prefecture affairs."
Although Cai Jing has been out of Beijing for many years, he is still Zhao Ji's confidant after all.
At this time, he is the only one who can go to Xiangyang Prefecture to recommend Zhao Ji to guard the retreat.
"Okay! That's so good." Zhao Ji understood Ji Yi's thoughts, and then glanced at Tongzhi and Tongzhi, Tongshen Guan.
Tong Guan also understood the master's meaning and immediately came out to report: "Your Majesty, I will ask you to stay in Jingdong."
The "JD" he mentioned certainly does not refer to Jingdong Shang City, but Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road.
"Then set up the Jingdong Xuanfu Department in Xuzhou!" Zhao Ji said, "Tong Qing was appointed as the Jingdong Xuanfu and the governor of Xuzhou. The former governor of Xuzhou Pan Xiao'an was changed to the Jiangning Prefecture."
This personnel adjustment is also intentional. Pan Xiao'an is Wu Yijiu's uncle after all, so it is inappropriate to continue to be an expert in Xuzhou.
However, Zhao Ji still trusted Pan Xiao'an, so he did not remove him from office, but sent him to Jiangning to replace Cai Jing.
Jiangning is also an important place! If Zhao Ji wants to move the capital to Xiangyang, then he must firmly control the Yangtze River. The middle reaches of the Yangtze River are easy to deal with, but the difficult one is the downstream. The downstream is too far from Xiangyang Prefecture, so it is necessary to set up an important town at the level of the capital to control it.
And Jiangning Prefecture is undoubtedly the most important city downstream!
...
Prince's East Palace.
The content of the political discussion in the Qionglin Palace immediately reached the ears of the Crown Prince Zhao Huan.
The crown prince, who once supervised the country and then retired to the Eastern Palace for many years, waved his hand gently and sent away the small yellow gate that reported to him. Then he looked at a fat white civil servant in his fifties who were playing chess with him and whispered: "The official family still wants to leave..."
The white and fat civil servant is Zhao Huan’s teacher, the crown prince Zhan Shi, and Geng Nanzhong, a direct scholar in Huiyou Pavilion.
Hearing the prince's words, he just smiled slightly: "Does Your Highness want to leave?"
Zhao Huan thought for a while, "Can you not leave?"
Geng Nanzhong said: "You can try it... There are still hundreds of thousands of elite troops in Hebei! If half of them can retreat to the capital, your highness will be able to persevere in the Central Plains. Even if Kaifeng Prefecture is difficult to defend, you can retreat to Yingchang Prefecture."
"Yingchang Mansion?" Zhao Huan asked, "Can Yingchang Mansion be guarded?"
"I can't defend it, but I can go west." Geng Nanzhong said, "The imperial family has been around since ancient times! Now there are Western Army, Shuofang Army, and several large soldiers of Lingzhou Army that can be relied on!"
