Gao Qiu was indeed a little overly enthusiastic!

In his memorial to Zhao Ji, he not only advocated the siege of Anxi, but also gave a total of five reasons for victory. He also put forward a suggestion to allow the elite Shuofang Army to participate in the Western Expedition. He also believed that the imperial court's control over Hexi could be strengthened through the participation of the Shuofang Army. In fact, the suggestions put forward by Gao Qiu were all thought of his military command opportunities. Those military opportunities did not know what low-key meant, and they all thought of dyeing their official uniforms red with the blood of the Anxi people...

Gao Qiu gave Zhao Ji such a memorial more to appease this group of subordinates who were determined to make contributions.

At the same time, Zhao Ji's side had many bullets that impeach Gao Qiu, so many of them could bury Gao Qiu. Almost every censor, no matter which faction, stepped on Gao Qiu at least a few times. Of course, Zhao Ji would stay all the way, but when he saw these things every day, he felt upset, so he discussed with Cai Jing.

"Just long-term town of Lingzhou?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Do I not allow him to stay in Lingzhou for a long-term town?"

"Your Majesty, there are many talented people around Gao Qiu!" Cai Jing said, "They may not be willing to stay in Lingzhou all their lives?"

Zhao Ji said: "What I said is... Cai Qing, can I let them enter Beijing?"

"If you enter Beijing..." Cai Jing hesitated, "Do you care about the Three Yamen Army?"

Zhao Ji was silent.

The Three Yajuns have always been the territory of Kaifeng generals. Although these guys cannot fight, they win because of their reliability. If Gao Qiu's people are allowed to replace them... Haha, although Gao Qiu himself is not in Kaifeng Prefecture, it is still uneasy!

"How about going to the Privy Council?" Zhao Ji asked.

The idea of ​​letting military affairs take charge of the 12th Room of the Privy Council was first proposed by Wu Haogu, but he told Zhao Ji privately that the memorial was not going to be submitted. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty might have to regard Wu Haogu as their mortal enemy!

"Your Majesty!" Cai Jing was shocked, "The Privy Council has always been in charge of civil officials... This is the ancestral system of this dynasty!"

This is to use literature to control martial arts!

The Northern Song Dynasty was centralized, and the local commander had limited power and could not control many soldiers. With Gao Qiu's power, only a small number of soldiers stationed in Lingzhou were controlled by him. With Wu Haogu's financial resources and means, the forces that Jiehe Commercial City and the Coastal Maritime Control Department could use, not including Jiehe Baoding (Boding would not rebel with Wu Haogu), were only a few thousand people. Moreover, most of them were naval troops, and the war soldiers on land were very limited.

Although the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, which are firmly controlled by civil servants, do not directly control many troops, they have the power of "military and political" and "military orders". Once they are controlled by military opportunities, they are likely to reform and clean up the Song army. A large number of officers with backgrounds in the Yuntai Academy and the Knight Academy will be activated to replace the officers who were repaired by the generals.

In this way, civil servants will sooner or later lose their ability to "reign martial arts"!

"I'll think about this matter again," Zhao Ji shook his head and put the matter temporarily on hold. "Cai Qing, Wu Haogu sent a secret report, saying that he wanted Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple to take the lead and borrow 2 million yuan of monastic debts to the Hexi army to replenish military expenses..."

"Ah?" Cai Jing was stunned and stunned, "Your Majesty, you said..."

"It is the Changshengku of Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple and the Changshengku of some other temples to borrow 2 million yuan to provide the Hexi army with military expenses for the Battle of Anxi. Cai Qing, what do you think?"

Cai Jing opened his mouth and felt incredible, "How can the official army borrow money from private people in war?"

Cai Jing is not stupid, so of course he knows that the Changshengku of Daxiangguo Temple in Jiehe was actually a business where Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an occupy the big head. The Hexi army has surrendered to the court, so it is naturally an official army. The Hexi army went to Anxi to fight against the national war... The official army asked to borrow money in private. This matter is really strange.

Zhao Ji also said: "This matter is indeed unprecedented since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period... However, Wu Haogu's memorial said that there are many benefits of lending this 2 million.

First of all, you can follow the opportunity of the monastic community to lend money and let the monks of the royal temple go to Hexi, Anxi to open or master the temple. Hexi is a Buddhist holy land, and countless monks believers. If the temple is controlled by the court, then the hearts of the people belong to the court. Anxi was originally a Buddhist country, but now although it is a Tianfang scholar, there are still many Buddhists (actually very few). It is also very beneficial if the royal temple can pass through it.

Secondly, the doctoral group of Yuntai Academy can be allowed to go to Hexi, Anxi to open a Confucian academy to spread the principles of saints... Wu Haogu also suggested waiting for Hexi. After Anxi has established academies, the court can open academies here at these two places."

In Hexi, Anxi opened a cadet and won a scholar, which was Wu Haogu’s ultimate move!

Of course, there are many negative factors in the imperial examination. The main reason is that the exam is useless, but one thing is worthy of recognition. The imperial examination is one of the methods to strengthen national unity.

As long as the social elites in remote places can be given the opportunity to pass the exam to become officials in the North Korea, their interest in rebellion will be low.

"Your Majesty, Hexi, Anxi scholars may not be able to pass the exam, right?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Of course I can't get the left list, but I can get the right list... They are all good at martial arts, and with the academy teachings from Yuntai Academy, a group of my disciples should be able to produce within 10 years, right? By that time, the court was in Hexi, and Anxi had a great foundation. So I feel that this money can still be borrowed."

"His Majesty's Holy Name!"

Cai Jing said this, but he felt very inappropriate.

There must be many heroes in Anxi. They can’t write articles, but their martial arts should be good. They will definitely not be able to pass the left list, and there may be a few Jinshi on the right list... This is actually nothing, but Cai Jing had already thought that Wu Haogu would take the opportunity to expand the quota of Jinshi on the right list. In the future, it might be the right list, and there will be as many left list!

"Okay," Zhao Ji smiled, "Let's just stop here today.

Cai Qing, you will go to Su Dongpo’s prime minister’s mansion for me later and visit me.”

"I received the order."

...

After Cai Jing left, several small yellow gates brought Zhao Ji's lunch, and the delicacies were placed on the table. Before Zhao Ji could start, another gate Xuanzan came to report: "The Concubine Xiping and Guan Gou Suhang, the official affairs of the Bureau, Wu Cheng asked for advice."

"Xuan and the others come in," Zhao Ji smiled, "add two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks."

"Here!"

Have a meal with the official’s house!

The Empress Dowager Xiping was not doing anything, but Wu Chengzhi was so excited that he didn't know whether to eat while standing or sitting.

"Sit down, sit down, how can you eat when you stand?" Zhao Ji smiled, "Wu Qing, I heard you are a father again?"

"Oh, yes," Wu Chengzhi sat down, "My inner fellow gave birth to a son a few days ago."

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Ji smiled, very happy, "Hello, son, you can be an official. Wu Haogu has made another contribution recently (what has he made?), and his official position is not very good, so he will be promoted again. Why don't you give him a quota to support him and let your third son become an official."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wu Chengzhi stood up and bowed, suddenly feeling inappropriate, "But my eldest daughter-in-law and a concubine of the eldest son have also become pregnant recently. If you want to repair the situation, you should wait until they give birth..."

Guo Xiaoxiao seems to have some idea. Anyway, since she followed Wu Haogu, the women of the Wu family have become pregnant one after another. Not only Pan Qiaolian has a body, but Ximen Qing and Oliga have also become pregnant one after another. These things are mentioned in Wu Haogu's letter to Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haowen.

"It's okay, it's okay," Zhao Ji smiled and waved his hand, "Wu Haogu has the opportunity to make contributions."

"Then I thank Your Majesty." As he spoke, Wu Chengzhi took out the "Picture of Princess Cheng'an" of Wu Hao's ancient "painting" and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is what Dalang asked me to offer."

"Take it and take a look." Zhao Ji took the scroll and opened it and saw his eyes lit up. "What a stunning beauty, haha, is this the beauty Dalang chose for me in Jiehe?"

"Ah," Wu Chengzhi was stunned and immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is Princess Cheng'an, the daughter-in-law of you and Princess Xiping..."

Why did this change so much?

Wu Chengzhi also felt something was wrong and looked at Concubine Liang who was sitting opposite him. Concubine Liang was looking at him in anger!

"So it's Qianshun's fiancée!" Zhao Ji nodded slightly and gave the scroll to Concubine Xiaoliang. "Concubine, you can take a look. Can she and my son Qianshun be called a handsome man?"

...

"Second sister, do you have two sisters?"

"yes……"

"They are all as beautiful as you?"

"Uh, my fourth sister Beixian is the most beautiful..."

"That's great!"

"Brother, you want to..."

At the same time, Wu Haogu and Yelu Nanxian were walking together on the way south. Although the weather was cold, both of them chose to ride horses instead of hiding in the warm carriage.

While rushing to the road, the two were still having a cordial conversation.

It's really friendly. Wu Haogu called Yelu Nanxian "Second Sister" and Yelu Nanxian called Wu Haogu "Big Brother". It sounds like he was worshipping him.

"No, no, it's not me." Seeing Yelu Nanxian's embarrassing expression, Wu Haogu shook his head quickly. He was not planning a concubine for him... Yelu Nanxian's sister could not be a concubine for Wu Haogu, and her identity was placed there.

After all, Wu Haogu was a minister of the Song Dynasty, so how could he take the princess of the Liao Dynasty as his concubine? In fact, Wu Haogu wanted to send Yelu Nanxian's sister to Zhao Ji. In this way, Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi became relatives!

"How old is your fourth sister?" Wu Haogu asked again.

"I'm nine years old this year."

"Nine years old?" Wu Haogu calculated, "Okay, so good, just the right age! It's exactly nineteen in ten years."

Ten years later?

Yelu Nanxian was even more confused. What does Wu Haogu mean? He would take his sister as his concubine ten years later? How could this be? Although he had money, he couldn't do this!

Wu Haogu smiled and lowered his voice: "Second sister, do you want your girl to enter the palace?"

"Enter the palace?" Yelu Nanxian looked at Wu Haogu and suddenly understood something, "What brother meant is to let my fourth sister enter the Qionglin Palace?"
