Wang Shao left first with the cavalry of the forbidden army, and he had to go back to assist Zhang Wei and Li Xian to return to the division to surround the Liao army in Gu'an.
Hong Tao of Xijin Mansion doesn't plan to go, whoever loves wants it. Don't look at the super slow reaction of the imperial court when you are trapped, just wait for Zhang Ji's report to be transmitted back to Kaifeng, and soon a large number of forbidden troops and people will go north to fill up Nanjing Road. Walled forts in the northern mountains will spring up like mushrooms, and with the help of cement, they will rise even faster.
After the First World War, the Liao army lost more than 150,000 troops, and they were all elite troops, and it was difficult to make a comeback in the short term. In the long run, it is estimated that it will be more difficult in the long term, because he planted a seed of uneasiness in Liaodong.
Aso-Death and the Female Naoto returned home, each with at least three horses, all armed with weapons on their backs. There are so many of these things on the battlefield that you can't get them all if you just find a few Liao military camps.
More than 6,000 heavily armed people of the Ya tribe returned east under the banner of Bohai soldiers, and as long as they could successfully return to the white mountains and black waters, a new force would soon rise in Liaodong.
This force will continue to assimilate the surrounding ethnic groups with the only belief in the moon god, while exterminating the ethnic groups of different faiths, including the Khitans.
Regardless of whether the Jin Dynasty will be established in the future, the Liao State is half-crippled anyway. This is still a relatively optimistic estimate, if the western divination people who take advantage of the chaos in eastern Liaodong are also restless, then the Liao country will be half paralyzed, maybe it will hang up at once.
These are all later words, Hong Tao didn't want to think too much, at this time he was writing and painting on a stone tablet. Wang Shao patted his ass and left, but the new army did not succeed, the Western Route Army, the Middle Route Army, and the Eastern Route Army pursued the enemy separately, and the first assembly place was Shunzhou.
This small county town is located on a plain more than 70 miles northeast of Xijin Province, and has a large population, most of which are Han Chinese. This is all secondary, Hong Tao has no intention of plundering the population or engaging in any more three-light policies, the only thing that makes him pay attention to this stone tablet.
Shunyi District, Capital Airport! Emperor Shenzong of the Great Song Dynasty led the new army to break the Liao army and seize Nanjing Road here! Two lines of words were written on the stone tablet more than two meters high, and then the stonemasons carved it out and stood outside the west gate of the county seat.
No one knows what the airport means, but the founder looks like he's enjoying it. The commander liked to mess around with names, usually weird, and the whole army was used to it.
"Your Royal Highness doesn't need to be too sad, the first emperor and this official insisted on the Northern Expedition against public opinion, just to eliminate border troubles for the Great Song Dynasty and save their descendants from the suffering of war. Now with this mountain range, it will be even more difficult for the Liao people to invade the south. But the mountains are dead, people are alive, all dynasties and dynasties want to rely on the moat to sleep without worry, have been buried by the loess, only those who strive for self-improvement will be praised for ten thousand years. ”
Zhao Maid already knew the death of his father, and also knew that the throne was gone, except for crying, his expression was quite lonely. He is no longer a child, he performed the crown ceremony at the age of six and left the cabinet at the age of eight, if it weren't for the death of Emperor Shenzong for so many months, he may have been officially canonized as the prince to build the East Palace to establish a political status, and he still has some understanding of the fate of the future.
"What my uncle said is all about this king, the new emperor will not let this king continue to stay in the new army, although you are the king of Qi, you can be controlled everywhere after entering the palace, how to talk about self-improvement."
Tribulation is a shortcut for a boy to become a man, after experiencing life and death on the battlefield and suffering the first big setback in his life, Zhao Maid seems to be much more mature than his peers, but also very negative, and the future is bleak.
"Why is this official otherwise, if you don't mention it far away, you will take your uncle as an example, and when you are established, you are still obsessed with lust, dogs and horses, and you don't know what Sheji is, but in less than ten years, you have already led your troops to defeat the Liao State, does Your Highness think that it will not be like this in twenty years?"
Zhao Maid's performance is normal, and he must be given another hope at this time, otherwise the previous few years will be considered a vain sect. The easiest way to convince others is to give examples, and the most vivid example is yourself.
“…… Uncle's words are really rebellious! Zhao Fu rolled his eyes and understood the meaning, and his mood was better, but it was just a joke, and his smile was bitter.
"Hahaha...... Even in front of your uncle, you still dare to say this. Do you know what is most important in this life? Not power or knowledge, but time. Whoever lives longer is the ultimate winner, and you have a huge advantage in this regard. But if you are depressed all day long, give up continuing to study and accumulate strength, even if that day the opportunity comes, you will still not be able to grasp it. ”
Hong Tao is not joking, that's what he meant. The new emperor Zhao Hao has seen it himself, he can't help but be weak, and his body bones are probably not as strong as his brother's. Sitting on the throne is not only not good for your health, but it is also very harmful.
The new emperor is about to face not only veteran politicians such as Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, but also Empress Dowager Gao, an uncontrollable force, and no one will feel comfortable between these three forces.
More troublesome things are still waiting for us, and pushing Zhao Hao to the throne must be a compromise made by the old and new parties in order to limit the imperial power. Once the common enemy is gone, the two groups will immediately have to continue to pinch each other. The more agreements they reached in the first place, the more contradictions and differences there were in the future.
This bad debt is inexhaustible, whether the new deal is abolished or established, to what extent, to what extent, will continue to play between these three forces, and the first of them is the emperor.
If Zhao Fu succeeds to the throne, he can use various practical benefits to temporarily gag these people's mouths and reduce the pressure, and then use the change of boiling frogs in warm water to reduce their power from the bottom up, and finally achieve the goal of renewing the power of the court.
But Zhao Hao succeeded to the throne, and even if he wanted to help others, he would not appreciate it. In the absence of practical interests, the court forces will still fight endlessly over the issue of power. He and Zhao Maid only need to lie dormant and accumulate strength, waiting for the day when the new emperor will be tossed to death by them.
Empress Dowager Gao can unite the old and new parties in a short period of time through political skills, and she has indeed shown good strength. But still that question, time! Ten years later, will the Empress Dowager Gao still be capable? Twenty years later!
Zhao Maid is just eleven years old, and it is really not a problem to spend twenty years, and this alone is not only not enough for Empress Dowager Gao, but also for Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to worry. As long as you don't waste this time, the future will sooner or later belong to the children of Zhao Maid, Chen Niang, and Wang Da, even if you can't bear the erosion of the years.
"Uncle taught me, how should this king deal with himself?" The reason is right, but Zhao Maid still has a black eye, and he needs specific measures.
"You have already left the cabinet, you can open a government and set up subordinates, you can go to the court to listen to the government, this is the law of the Great Song Dynasty, no one can stop it. The official only has one sentence to send, see more and talk less, think more and do less, and be patient and don't rush everything. Whenever the situation is urgent, I silently say in my heart, I have time, and none of you can consume me! ”
In the Song Dynasty, the crown was usually performed at the age of 12 and left the court at the age of 15 or sixteen. Performing the crown ceremony is equivalent to no longer being a child, and has some of the power of an adult, but at this time, except for the teacher appointed by the emperor, he cannot make friends with foreign ministers.
It was not until after leaving the cabinet that the prince could establish his own palace and his own subordinate team, and at the same time he could participate in government affairs in the court, and he could also accept the local official positions assigned by the emperor. As for fiefdoms or something, it's just a benefit, and there's no actual place to manage it, let alone a right.
Zhao Fu's situation is relatively special, and the new emperor named him the king of Qi in advance in order to show goodwill and apology. This means that Zhao Maid has left the cabinet, can and must move out of the palace to live alone, and at the same time gain the political status and power it deserves.
Hong Tao plans to let him be a humming prince, not to stand in line, not to advocate, not to make mistakes, and to hang around in the court when he has nothing to do. You can see clearly what you say, what you argue, what you calculate, and understand the temperament and political views of each of your ministers.
With a preliminary understanding of the court, supplemented by the help of appropriate subordinates, the right to be the emperor's internship period in the next few years will not only not delay time but also help for future development.
To be honest, even if Emperor Shenzong did not die, Hong Tao did not want Zhao Maid to rule too early. It is estimated that Emperor Shenzong also meant this, first set the position of the crown prince, and wait until the child becomes an adult to find an opportunity to pass on the throne.
In addition to being impulsive by nature, the emperor who is too young will also attract the intervention of harem forces, such as hanging the curtain and listening to politics and the like. This system was really not invented by the Empress Dowager Cixi, it existed as early as the Han Dynasty and the Lu Dynasty.
At that time, Empress Dowager Gao will go to the back of the little emperor, and she will be the auxiliary minister designated by Emperor Shenzong, how can you get along with this thing. How do sons-in-law and mother-in-law fight? If you don't involve the interests of the entire royal family, it's a headache to think about it.
"So good! Can my uncle have the right person to match? Is Chen Niang unable to come back? "Not to mention that children are easy to fool, Zhao Maid heard that the future didn't seem to be so gloomy, and his mood immediately turned cloudy, and then he began to delusional.
"Even if she comes back, she is not suitable to enter the palace, and she is easy to be accused by outsiders. Remember, you are the king of the Great Song Dynasty, and you must take the lead in obeying the laws and rules in everything, and you must not go too far. This official has someone to recommend, and it is not up to His Highness to decide. ”
"Gao Cuifeng is very familiar with the government and politics, and when he first went to Weiqiao Town and Huangzhou, he had to rely on this person to understand the dynamics of the DPRK and China. The second is the Wasp, who is loyal to the former emperor, and can protect his highness although he cannot guide him. ”
"Don't think that when you become the king of Qi and enter the capital division, no one will dare to have evil intentions, if the official wants anyone to die, within three or five years, this person will die of a violent illness without any surprise. Since this official can do it, presumably others will not be weak. Be careful to eat and drink on weekdays, and exercise constantly, so as not to be like your father, who does not have a good body and a good brain, is not beautiful in the end! ”
Chen Niang will definitely not come back, even if she is willing, she can't let her go to the palace to assist Zhao Maid, let alone her, it won't work out on Mondays and Sundays. Qi Wangfu is not a new army, etiquette is very important, if you are mixed with yourself and are not pleasing to the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, wouldn't you take the initiative to give someone a handle.
The children of the Children's League and the Youth League could not show up immediately, and Zhao Maid had to draw a line with himself if he wanted to be tolerated by the new emperor. If the two sides still hook up and secretly communicate, the new emperor will still not be able to sleep. The consequence of keeping the emperor awake is that his head is divided, this is very certain.
