February 13, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.

Kaifeng Prefecture, Imperial City, Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Kai, who has been the emperor for almost three months, can finally sit safely on the imperial throne of Chongzheng Hall to discuss military and national affairs with the prime ministers.

Because of the crisis that Kaifeng Prefecture fell at any time, it has been eliminated by Zhao Kai, who is proficient in the Seven Books of the Martial Arts and the Four Great Military Arts!

Although the more than 100,000 troops of the Jin thieves were still active in Junzhou, Kaide Prefecture, Puzhou and Xingren Prefecture, they also surrounded tens of thousands of troops led by Li Gang, and the areas of Daming Prefecture, Bozhou, Enzhou, Jizhou and Hejian Prefecture on the East Road of Hebei were all reported to have been invaded by Jin soldiers. At the same time, the situation in Hedong was also very bad, and the defeat was frequently reported.

However, before the Jin thieves' Eastern Route Army destroyed Li Gang, they should have been unable to advance towards Kaifeng Prefecture.

Even if Li Gang became Li Wenzheng, the Jin thieves might not have the power to invade Kaifeng Prefecture. After all, there were three camps including Sanshan Fuqiao Camp, Liangshanbo Camp and Dingtao Camp, and they could not let go of their hands and feet after threatening the Jin soldiers.

In this case, Zhao Kai could finally breathe a little relieved, and then start to rectify the internal situation and make some long-term plans.

However, before the internal rectification and long-term planning, Zhao Kai still has a small problem that needs to be solved, which is the year number.

It has been almost three months since he ascended the throne, and he has no time to change his era. It is really inappropriate to still use Zhao Ji's Xuanhe reign title.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to use Jingkang in the New Year."

As soon as Zhao Kai raised the issue of the year name today, Li Bangyan, the grand minister of the East Prefecture, immediately came up with a result that was discussed by the ministers.

It turned out that when Zhu Fengying was in charge of the court, she had already discussed this matter with everyone, and Jingkang was discussed by everyone.

"Jingkang?" Zhao Kai frowned, "It seems not a good luck!"

"Your Majesty," Bai Shizhong said, "Jingkang means Ankang, Ankang. It is from Zeng Gong's "Yangzhou Yue Temple Rain Prayer": "The 'Yuan Gu is harmonious with richness, and the inner and inner doors are protected by Jingkang." Using this as the year name, it can show the whole world that Your Majesty will strive to protect the health and happiness of the Song Dynasty. This is also what the people want!"

Zhao Kai shook his head, "The world is like this. Can the people still expect health and happiness?"

According to the history he knew, the era when Jingkang was able to be related to Ankang and Anle after the Hongwu period was when Zhu Yuanzhang's great martial arts skills were used to bring people's health and happiness!

Zhao Kai continued: "Let's use Hongwu as the year name! Hongwu is also Hongdao's martial arts. What do you think?"

All the officials present were stunned.

You can’t just start the year name! Oh, it’s nothing to do with the foundation of the country and the thoughts of the people of the world!

The Song Dynasty was "cultural rule of the world", how could you "Hongwu"? Although the word "Hongwu" is indeed very heroic, the Song Dynasty really doesn't match it!

"Your Majesty, I think the 'Hongwu' is inappropriate, so please think twice."

Zhao Kai followed the sound and saw an old man with a short figure, a gray beard and bright eyes.

It turns out that he is Grandpa Zong Zezong, the backbone of the Song Dynasty!

"Zongqing, what's wrong with this 'Hongwu' year name?"

Zhao Kai actually asked knowingly. He didn't bring a group of brothers to establish the country and conquer the world now, how could he "Hongwu"? He would have to "Jingkang".

"Your Majesty" Zong Ze looked at this "top scholar" and was a little speechless!

Zong Ze was the last Jinshi, and he was at the end of the imperial examination that year. Zhao Kai was the first in Huiyuan and the first in the meeting!

You can do the Yuan Dynasty. Don’t you know that the world will be in an uproar when this "Hongwu" appears?

"Your Majesty, Jingkang is what people want." Zong Ze said, "Hongwu, is this Hongda martial arts and Fenghengyuda all hates? Are there any similarities in the world's work?"

There is really!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Ji really have similarities. They both are very happy to be successful and are a little bit powerful and are measured by the standards of the Song Dynasty!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang was much more powerful than Zhao Ji in terms of military militia! He supported millions of Ming troops by relying on the "poor Jiangnan" land that had been ravaged by the Yuan Dynasty for decades. While he was in the northern expedition to the Central Plains, he also used large-scale troops in many places in the south to wipe out the world!

Zong Ze said again: "Even if Your Majesty really wants to establish great martial arts, he doesn't need to use his year title to show the world that the common people in the world want is nothing more than peace and peace, and what he hates is endless military conquests. Therefore, the old minister thinks that the Jingkang year title is the most in line with the will of the world."

Zong Ze, the resolute anti-Jin faction, said this, and of course Zhao Kai couldn't be stubborn anymore.

Who makes people feel so?

Just look at the prosperity inside the high walls of Kaifeng Prefecture. Everyone is very happy!

If most people support "Hongda Martial Arts", how could the Jurchens who siege the city in history return to the Northeast alive?

"Then call it Jingkang!" Zhao Kai agreed, but thought to himself: Jingkang is Jingkang, but Jingkang's shame is not allowed, only Jingkang Zhongxing!

Thinking of this, he said again: "I also know that people are at ease, but the trees want to be quiet, but the wind is not only approaching Kaifeng Prefecture now, but the golden thief is coming!

We have talked with them twice, but there is not even a formal response. It can be seen that the Jin thieves have a strong desire to destroy me, so we must do our best to fight against the Jin Dynasty. There is no other way! What do you think?"

"Your Majesty's wise!"

The ministers shouted in unison that the sages were now the savage faction!

Although Li Yanbang, Bai Shizhong's two great ministers and Zhang Bangchang, the deputy prime minister, were cowardly, Yuwen Cuizhong, Zong Ze, Zong Shidao, Zhang Shuye, Li Gang, who was trapped in Dingtao, Yuwen Xuzhong, who presided over the anti-Jin in western Guangwu Mountain, and Wang Fu, one of the six thieves, are now all hardliners.

Zhao Kai nodded and said, "But when he resisted the Jin Dynasty, it would be impossible to just say with his mouth. He had to take practical actions! Now that Li Gang's tens of thousands of people are surrounded, do you have any way to rescue him?"

"Your Majesty, I have some solutions!" Zong Ze had a solution.

It's indeed Zong Ze!

Zhao Kai asked with a smile: "What kind of tricks do Zongqing have? Tell me quickly."

Zong Ze said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no clever tricks. The old minister is willing to bring a brigade army across the river, clean up the situation, rectify defense, and recruit rebel troops. As long as the defense of the Hebei prefectures can improve, the Jin thieves will not dare to stay near the capital for a long time. As long as the Jin thieves turn to use their troops to Hebei, the dangers of the capital will be resolved by themselves, and Li Shumi's army can also turn the danger into safety."

Ah, cross the river!

Of course, Zong Ze's solution was to cross the river! This was actually Zhao Kai's first idea to go north to fight against the Jin Dynasty, organize the army and civilians of Hebei who had no leader, and deal with the Jin thieves to the end.

"Okay!" Zhao Kai emphasized the point, "I brought troops into the palace that day. I wanted to advise my father and let me cross the river to resist the Jin Dynasty. Unfortunately, my father passed on me with a great throne, so I had to stay in the capital and could not stay away. Zongqing is willing to stand up now, without fear of hardships, and I feel very relieved!

I specially appointed you as the Longtu Pavilion’s waiting commander, the commander of Cizhou, the deputy envoy of Hebei East Road, the chief commander of the Hebei Rebel Army to control the military affairs of Ci, Prime Minister, Wei, Ming, and Xinde Prefecture, and can act cheaply.

In addition, I will transfer 5,000 soldiers from Jinming City to go north to take up your post. I will give you another 300,000 stag and 200,000 pieces of silk to provide military service."

As soon as Zhao Kai said this, the entire Chongzheng Hall was stunned. This was too much, right?

All the prefectures and four prefectures in Hebei are given to this Zongze? And they are also given 5,000 soldiers and 500,000 yuan in money, and the right to act cheaply!

This is to let Zong Ze take charge of the civil and military power!

Zong Ze had already reacted and almost shouted to Zhao Kai: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, the old minister must devote himself to his whole life and die!"

"Your Majesty," Yu Wencuizhong, who was in charge of the affairs of the camp and the Privy Council, stood up and said to Zhao Kai, "Liu Wei is already in charge of military affairs on Hebei West Road. Isn't it appointing ministers to control the military affairs of one government and four prefectures to divide Liu Wei's power?"

Liu Wei was the pacifier of Hebei West Road and the instructor of Zhending Prefecture. Zhao Kai assigned one and four prefectures to Zong Ze, which was equivalent to dividing half of his defense zone.

However, he did not have the ability to defend the entire Hebei West Road. It would be great if he could protect Zhending Prefecture City when the Jin soldiers marched south in a large scale!

Zhao Kai thought about it, "Or, break down Hebei West Road into two and divide it into Zhendingfu Road and Cixiang Road. Let Liu Wei stay at Zhendingfu Road, Zongze stay at Cixiang Road, and then set up Zhendingfu Road Transportation Envoy and Cixiang Road Transportation Envoy, so that they can obey the orders of the two routes of comforting envoys."

The fortune commander obeys the order and appeases the commander of this power is a bit too big!

Zhao Kai himself knew it, so he winked at Wang Fu and explained: "The situation of Zhendingfu Road and Cixiang Road is special. These two routes are likely to be trapped by the Jin thieves, so the court will be difficult for the time being. It is necessary to give local commanders a high power, not only to control the grain ministers, but also to control the Examination and Examination Department."

The Criminal Division is just a pro-criminal Division, which is a very important yamen. It seems that the name is in charge of robbers, but it is also in charge of robbers. However, the Song Dynasty's Criminal Division also manages military industry and conducts military industry. It looks a bit strange, but it happened in the Song Dynasty. It was normal for the consolation of troops, transfers and logistics, and conducts military industry. One piece of military power was demolished three parts, hindering each other, and no one could rebel.

In the original history, famous generals like Yue Fei once added camp and field envoys, so they had financial power and could also manage their own logistics. Moreover, the weapons and armor of each department were mostly built by themselves. This was equivalent to the general's power, financial power, and military production being concentrated in one hand, of course, it was possible to fight, but it was suspicious!

However, Zhao Kai was very talented and trusted Zong Ze to know that he would not live for a few years, so he was not afraid of him rebelling and becoming the emperor of Zong.

"Your Majesty," Wang Fu got Zhao Kai's eyes and stood up to discuss it at this time. "I also think that in today's troubled times, we should boldly delegate power, not only on Hebei West Road, but also on Hebei East Road and Hedong!"
