Chapter 762: It's Really Hard

No wonder Zhao Hao thinks too much, it can be said that he has been fighting with the Yuan army on the one hand, and fighting and maneuvering with various forces in the DPRK and China on the other side. Don't underestimate the subtle changes, there may be traps and mines inside. Once he is hit, the light one will shed his skin, and the heavy one will hurt his muscles and bones, so he can be said to be frightened step by step since he came to this world, but he can successfully get rid of crises again and again.

Zhao Yu was very aware that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, reform the military system, and improve the political status of the warriors, he had offended some important ministers in the court, and although they made concessions, it could also be regarded as a temporary compromise. Because these people also know that it is difficult to hold Qiongzhou and realize the ideal of restoring the country without a strong army, but he also knows that he will still try to make changes when the time comes.

Since we know that there is a crisis in it, of course, it is the best way to strike first, and we can solve the problem once and for all. However, Zhao Yu still followed the pattern inherited from the previous dynasty, and did not make major adjustments to the entire leadership group, but used the method of strengthening local forces to contain the central government to force them to cooperate with him, and at the same time used the Military Aircraft Department to grasp the military power and empty the Privy Council. While ensuring his own leadership, he can influence the government.

After the situation stabilized, Zhao Yu still did not make adjustments to the team, especially Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang, who had been in the phase for so many years. Of course, this is not a change at all, but there is something else in it. After the test, Zhao Yu no longer questioned the loyalty of the two, and they both have a strong desire to recover their homeland, it can be said that the two sides are the same in the big picture, as for the dispute over the concept of governance, no one can avoid it, it is better to remain unchanged.

On the other hand, Zhao Yu has a further understanding of the temper and character of the two prime ministers. Lu Xiufu is not only diligent and meticulous, but also has a tough personality, can stand the anger, withstand setbacks, like an old scalper; Compared with Wen Tianxiang, he has passion, ability and courage to do things, even if he is sent to solve difficult things, he can take charge of himself. However, his personality is much more impulsive, and he dares to argue in public if he has disagreements, but he doesn't hold grudges.

To be honest, Zhao Yu is a little afraid of Wen Tianxiang, and he can't get off the stage from time to time, so this kind of person is black and white, and he can't carry the black pot. Of course, this kind of character has also offended many people, and its old department has almost lost everything in Jiangxi, so if he has no circle of friends in the court, he should be regarded as a lonely minister, and the advantages of letting him be in phase outweigh the disadvantages, Zhao Yu will naturally not remove such a cadre because of a small loss.

For Lu Xiufu, Zhao Yu has always been apologetic in his heart, he can be said to have carried a lot of 'pots' for himself, and sometimes he may feel inexplicable, I don't know why the little emperor suddenly targeted himself. In fact, Zhao Yu was just a last resort to balance the situation between the DPRK and China and suppress some people. At that time, Lu Xiufu was ordered to be the prime minister in the case of Chen Yizhong's sudden departure, but he was suppressed by Zhang Shijie at the top, and some old ministers at the bottom did not trust him, and he was also a two-sided character.

On the issue of Zhao Yu's succession, Lu Xiufu can be said to be on the wrong side, at first he was wary and unsupportive, and his attitude did not change until after the Battle of Yashan, and at that time Zhang Shijie had completely fallen to himself. And he 'regardless of his previous suspicions', he was promoted to the left minister, became the head of the hundred officials, and gradually became the backbone of the scholars and the representative of Confucianism. There may be helplessness and reluctance, but it is also a fact, and Zhao Yu implemented a policy of attaching equal importance to civil and military affairs, and the conflict with the scholars was inevitable, so he became the target of the 'blow', and he was caught in the middle and was angry.

Today's incident, Zhao Yu estimated that it was not that Lu Xiufu did not welcome himself into the city, but now it can be said that he is the only one in Beijing, and Lin'an City used to be a place where scholars gathered. There will definitely be people who want to take this rare opportunity to encourage them to contact the famous Confucian masters in the past to strengthen their own strength, so as to strengthen the power of the prime minister, suppress the martial arts, weaken the imperial power, and achieve the goal of forcing the imperial court to continue to implement the old system of promoting literature and suppressing the military. And to achieve this goal, it is necessary to isolate Zhao Yu from the outside to be easy to implement, so that they can have time to calmly lay out.

Zhao Yu felt that Lu Xiufu didn't want to see the battle for imperial power and relative power break out at this moment, but he couldn't help but get involved, after all, there were some things he also needed to hold a court meeting to implement. But even so, the board must fall on its ass, who makes you the head of the hundred officials. And it is not so easy for them to reverse the situation, those old ministers of the Xing Dynasty and the old ministers who defected to the Xing Dynasty have already cultivated to the fine, and their hearts are like mirrors, knowing that they have an absolute grasp of the army, and the only one who will die in the world is undecided, so instead of watching from the wall, it is to 'make a hindrance' for them.

However, there are still people who can't understand the situation, especially Yao Liangchen, who was the right minister for a few days, who usurped this position because he followed Zhang Shijie closely, and was quickly taken down by Zhao Yu after the move to Qiong, but in order to appease the people's hearts, he was reassigned the head of the household. But on the surface, he seems to have surrendered, but in private he still thinks that the emperor is unfair to him, and he makes small moves at the bottom to regain his position.

In a place where Qiongzhou is so big, where it is so easy to do things when Zhao Yu is in control of the army and internal affairs, it will be destroyed in minutes. But after so many years, Yao Liangchen still remembers it, he knows that he has to use Lu Xiufu to get ahead. Therefore, after entering the city, he and several close friends actively contacted his former colleagues and classmates, recommended them to Lu Xiufu to join the court, and then publicized the credit for the recovery of Jiangnan to him, creating the illusion that the minister is strong and the master is weak, so as to ignore and even erase Zhao Yu's credit, trying to make him virtual.

At the moment, when Zhao Yu dismissed Lu Xiufu from the post of Yin of Lin'an Mansion, Yao Liangchen took out the words "in Germany is not in danger" to talk about things. First, he felt the crisis, and he wanted to gag himself if he put forward this statement, and it would be immoral to overhaul the palace at this time. But there is a hidden trap in it, the Queen Mother is still in Qiongzhou, you enter the city and leave the Queen Mother alone in that 'remote' place, so that Liu Huang and Ying Jieyan can be temporarily blocked from the court......;

"Do you think it's better to move the capital to Jiankang now, or to live in Lin'an temporarily?" Zhao Hao figured out his purpose, and it really became 'no virtue' to remove it as soon as he entered the city, and then pushed the problem back.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to live in Lin'an temporarily." Chen Zhongwei got up after hearing this and said, "First, Lin'an is the place chosen by Emperor Gaozong after the southern crossing, and it is not suitable to move lightly; Both, the world knows that Lin'an is the capital of my Great Song Dynasty, and the recovery of Lin'an is definitely a national shock, if the capital is moved to Jiankang at this time, it will definitely cause misunderstanding between the government and the opposition, thinking that it is difficult for our dynasty to gain a foothold in Jiangdong; Third, although Lin'an had fallen into the hands of the enemy, there was no major war, the city was intact, and the people's livelihood was not greatly affected, which was convenient for raising food and wages; In addition, Jiankang is close to the river and faces the enemy, and now there are frequent battles, if the city falls or is besieged, it will have a great impact. ”

"The minister thinks what Chen Shangshu said is reasonable." Xu Zongren also got up and said, "Lin'an is the old capital, and the Taimiao and the emperors' mausoleums are all here. If you move to Jiankang, it is very inconvenient to worship the mausoleum and ancestors, and it will frequently disturb the place, and it will cost the people and money. ”

"The capital is the important place of the country, how can it be placed at the end of the arrow, and the minister also thinks that the holy car is temporarily stationed in Lin'an. When I capture Jianghuai, recover the Central Plains, and return the capital to Bianjing, why move the capital frequently! Deng Wenyuan also agreed.

"The minister also agrees, Lin'an should not be abandoned, and the capital must not be moved without permission!" Jiang Xuan got up and said.

"This ...... This, the minister also agreed with the Holy Driver to settle in Lin'an, but His Majesty just said that the imperial city was seriously damaged, and it could not be restored to its former grandeur without large-scale construction, so it was inappropriate at this urgent moment of war! Yao Liangchen saw that he had become a minority, and he didn't dare to be reluctant, but he used the emperor's words to block everyone's mouths.

Yao Shangshu is true, now Pingjiang, Jiankang, Wuhu, Dangtu, Chizhou and other important towns have been destroyed by Mengyuan, and they are in urgent need of reconstruction. And the important places along the river also need to build forts, and Lin'an City is also in urgent need of repair, which has overwhelmed the Ministry of Industry. If the imperial city is built again, tens of thousands of craftsmen and husbands need to be recruited, and it will be difficult for the Ministry of Industry to complete the work of several years. Wei Tianzhong also stood up and raised his suffering.

"Did I say I was going to rebuild the Imperial City?" Zhao Hao smiled at the two of them.

"This ...... Your Majesty did not mention it! Wei Tianzhong thought that the little emperor really didn't say it, but he didn't approve of rebuilding the imperial city, and stammered.

"Lu Xiang, what do you think?" Zhao Yu turned to Lu Xiufu, who had not expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the holy car is temporarily stationed in Lin'an City. But when the palace was destroyed, where did the holy chaste live? Lu Xiufu was embarrassed.

"Hehe, I have been adrift on the sea with the dynasty for many years, and I have also lived in thatched huts in Yashan, and it is even more common to sleep in the open in Qiongzhou against the enemy's wind, is it possible that there is no place for me to live in this huge Lin'an City?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that Your Majesty is not afraid of difficulties, but after all, this is the residence of the Beijing Division, and it cannot be compared with it, and I have wronged Your Majesty!" Lu Xiufu thought that the little emperor had really not enjoyed happiness over the years, and after the Northern Expedition began, he had never complained, but he suddenly thought that the little emperor had never been targeted, and today he suddenly entered the city and came to Guanzhong, and suddenly came to his senses, "Your Majesty doesn't want to stay in this Zongyang Palace, right?" ”

"What's wrong with that?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile. In his heart, he secretly scolded these people for talking too hard, and it took a long time to get to the point, and he was almost suffocated.

"Your Majesty, this Zongyang Palace has been changed to a Taoist temple, and it is dedicated to Taoist immortals, which is really inappropriate!" This time, without waiting for others to speak, Xu Zongren objected.

"I am the Son of Heaven, and it is not disgraceful to be in the same room with them. If they find me an eyesore, they just need to find another place to live and give them a big gift. As for those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, I have never had them, I'm afraid they still need to go around me! Zhao Yuhun didn't care about the authenticity.

"Although Your Majesty is not afraid of ghosts and gods, can you know the origin of this Zongyang Palace?" Jiang Xuan pondered that the little emperor was a god, and he was protected by his own gods, and he was not afraid of the gods in this view, but he felt that there was still something wrong.

"Of course I do, sir. The predecessor of Zongyang Palace was the retreat place of Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xiaozong after the Zen throne, and successively served the Empress Dowager Xiansheng and the Empress Dowager Shoucheng. Zhao Yu is now learning and selling the land.

"Your Majesty is right. But Your Majesty is in the prime of his youth, and the battle for the restoration of the country has just begun, how can he have the heart to retreat and enjoy himself! Jiang Xuan said.

"Oh, sir, that's what worries you!" Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment and said with a little amusement, "I am determined to restore the country and restore the Central Plains, how can I give up halfway and enjoy myself comfortably, wouldn't this have the teaching of Mr. Negative and the assistance of the ministers." ”

"Your Majesty has the best idea of this, don't just recover Jiangnan, be satisfied, be content with the status quo, and forget your original ambition!" Jiang Xuan grimaced, and took out the strength to be a master again.

"Prime Minister Lu, colleagues, I think it is feasible for Your Majesty to be stationed in the North Palace. Although it has been renovated, it does not need to be restored without much effort, which can save the country and make it possible to enter the city as soon as possible. Jiang Xuan turned to everyone and said.

"Jiang Shangshu, it's not that simple, although the main body here doesn't need to be moved, but the pillars of the main hall need to be reinforced and powdered, the lake water needs to be drained and dredged, and the flowers and trees need to be pruned and replanted. In addition, the broken barns and the ministry rooms need to be repaired, and the furniture in all parts must be completed one by one, which cannot be completed in a year. Wei Tianzhong said.

"Wei Shangshu, how much time do you need?" Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, I think it may take at least a year to repair as before." Wei Tianzhong replied.

"A year?! I don't need you to renovate the same as before, as long as the functions of these main halls are restored, the ministry rooms can be occupied, and the back garden can be cleaned up, how much time will it take? Zhao Hao asked with a solemn face.

"Your Majesty, if you work day and night, it may be ten months!" Wei Tianzhong seemed to have estimated the next round.

"Hmph, I'll only give you a month at most!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, the one-month construction period is really difficult for the minister to complete!" Wei Tianzhong said.

"Your Majesty, the North Palace has always been a place for the first emperor to abdicate and recuperate, and this is the time for His Majesty to rise up and restore the country. But those who don't know the inside story will inevitably misunderstand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts, arouse criticism from the government and the opposition, and damage Your Majesty's prestige. Yao Liangchen said again at this time.

"When Gaozong gave up the throne in his prime, he took the old house of the criminal minister Qin Hui as a place of retreat, isn't it also for the safety of the society and the people of the world? And if I live here, can I cause chaos in the world? Zhao Yu said angrily. He knew that after Gaozong's Zen throne, he rebuilt Deshou Palace to retire, and it was true that he had private thoughts, but in fact, he also had the intention of protecting the community, but it was not what the outside world thought......
