Gao Yu is indeed a little overzealous!

In his recital to Zhao Ji, he not only advocated the crusade against Anxi, but also cited a total of five reasons for victory. He also put forward a proposal to let the elite of the Shuofang army participate in the western expedition, and also believed that the imperial court's control over Hexi and Anxi could be strengthened through the participation of the Shuofang army - in fact, these suggestions put forward by Gao Yu were all thought up by his military commanders. Those military soldiers didn't know what it meant to be low-key, and they all wanted to dye their official uniforms red with the blood of the people of Anxi......

And Gao Yu was more to appease this group of subordinates who wanted to make meritorious contributions, so he gave Zhao Ji such a recital.

At the same time, on Zhao Ji's side, the impeachment of Gao Yu can bury Gao Yu with a lot of stamps. Almost every imperial historian, no matter which faction, stepped on Gao Yu at least a few times. Of course, Zhao Ji stayed in the middle and didn't send it, but when he saw these things every day, he also felt upset, so he discussed it with Cai Jing.

"It's just Jiuzhen Lingzhou?" Zhao Ji frowned, "Did I not allow him to be in Lingzhou Jiuzhen?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are still a lot of capable people around Gao Yu!" Cai Jingdao, "I'm afraid they are not willing to stay in Lingzhou for the rest of their lives, right?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "That's what I said...... Cai Qing, is it okay to let them enter Beijing? ”

"If you enter Beijing......" Cai Jing hesitated, "are you going to take care of the three yajun?" ”

Zhao Ji was silent.

The Sanya Army has always been the territory of Kaifeng Jiangmen, although these guys can't fight, but they are reliable. If you let someone from a good place replace them...... Hehe, although Gao Yu himself is not in Kaifeng Mansion, it is still uneasy!

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

The idea of letting the military ministers take charge of the twelve rooms of the Privy Council was first proposed by Wu Haogu, but he only said it privately to Zhao Ji, and did not go to the chapter - this chapter is going to be played, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are afraid that they will regard Wu Haogu as a mortal enemy!

"Your Majesty!" Cai Jing was taken aback, "The Privy Council has always been in charge of Wenchen...... This is the ancestral system of this dynasty! ”

This is the Imperial Martial Arts with Literature!

The Northern Song Dynasty was centralized, and the local commanders had limited power and could not control many soldiers and horses. With the prestige of Gao Yu, only a small number of soldiers and horses stationed in Lingzhou are now controlled by it. With Wu Haogu's financial resources and means, the forces that can be mobilized by the Jiehe Shang City and the Coastal City Ship Control Division, excluding the Jiehe Baoding (Baoding will not rebel with Wu Haogu), is only a few thousand people. And most of them are still naval forces, and the number of soldiers on land is very limited.

The military department and the Privy Council, which are firmly controlled by civilian officials, although they do not directly control many troops, but they have the power of "military politics" and "military orders".

In this way, sooner or later, civilian officials will lose the ability to "resist the military"!

"Think about this matter again," Zhao Ji shook his head and put this matter on hold for the time being, "Cai Qing, Wu Haogu sent a secret performance, saying that he wanted Jiehe Daxiangguo Temple to take the lead and borrow 2 million monks to pay the Hexi Army for military expenses......"

"Huh?" Cai Jing was stunned and stunned, "Your Majesty, what do you ......say?"

"It is the Changsheng Treasury of the Great Xiangguo Temple of Jiehe and the Changsheng Treasury of some other temples to borrow 2 million yuan to the Hexi Army as the military expenses for the Battle of Anxi. Cai Qing, what do you think? ”

Cai Jing opened his mouth and felt incredulous, "How can officials and soldiers borrow money from private individuals when they are fighting?" ”

Cai Jing is not stupid, of course he knows that the Changsheng Library of the Great Xiangguo Temple of Jiehe is actually a business in which Wu Haogu and Pan Xiao'an have the lion's share. And the Hexi Army has now surrendered to the imperial court, so it is naturally an official army. The Hexi Army's expedition to Anxi was a national war...... It is really not ordinary that the officials and soldiers asked private individuals to borrow money in the national war.

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

First of all, it is possible to take the opportunity of the Sangha to lend money, and let the monks of the royal temple go to Hexi and Anxi to open or master the temple. Hexi is a holy place for Buddhism, and there are countless monks and believers, and if the temple is controlled by the imperial court, then the hearts of the people belong to the imperial court. And Anxi was originally a Buddhist country, and now although it is a Tianfang sect, there are still many Buddhists (in fact, there are very few), and it is also very beneficial if the royal temple can be passed.

The second is to let the doctoral group of Yuntai Academy go to Hexi and Anxi to open Confucian academies and spread the teachings of the sages...... Wu Haogu also suggested that after waiting for the establishment of academies in Hexi and Anxi, the imperial court could open a department and take scholars here. ”

In Hexi and Anxi, it is a great move of Wu Haogu!

Of course, there are many negative factors in the matter of the imperial examination - the main thing is that the examination is not very useful - but one thing is worth affirming, the imperial examination is one of the ways to strengthen the unity of the country.

As long as the social elites in remote areas can be given the opportunity to pass the examination and become officials in the DPRK, their interest in rebellion is not high.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the scholars of Hexi and Anxi won't be able to pass the test, right?"

Zhao Ji smiled: "Of course they can't pass the test on the left list, but they can take the test on the right list...... Their martial arts are all good, plus the academy teaching that started in Yuntai Academy, there should be a group of my protégés within 10 years, right? At that time, the imperial court had a great foundation in Hexi and Anxi. So I felt that this money could still be borrowed. ”

"Your Majesty's Holy Name!"

Cai Jing said this on his lips, but he felt inappropriate in his heart.

There must be a lot of strong men in Hexi and Anxi, they can't write articles, their martial arts shouldn't be bad, they definitely can't pass the test on the left list, and they may be able to get a few jinshi on the right list...... This is actually nothing, but Cai Jing has already thought that Wu Haogu will definitely take the opportunity to expand the number of Jinshi on the right list, and in the future, there may be as many as the right list and the left list!

"Okay," Zhao Ji said with a smile, "That's all for today."

Cai Qing, you will go to Su Dongpo's Prime Minister's Mansion for me later and pay a visit. ”

"Commandment."

……

After Cai Jing left, a few small yellow doors brought Zhao Ji's lunch, and set a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas. Zhao Ji hadn't started yet, and another gate announced that he had come to report: "The princess of Xiping and Guan Gou Suhang should be asked to see Wu Cheng on official affairs of the bureau." ”

"Announce them in," Zhao Ji smiled, "and add two pairs of dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Whoa!"

Accompany the official's family to dinner!

Princess Xiping didn't do anything, but Wu Chengzhi was so excited that she didn't know whether to eat standing or sitting.

"Sit, sit down, stand and eat." Zhao Ji smiled, "Wu Qing, I heard that you are a father again?" ”

"Oh, yes," Wu Chengzhi sat down, "the minister's inner man gave birth to a son a few days ago. ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhao Ji smiled and was very happy, "My son is good, my son can be an official." Wu Haogu recently made meritorious service again (what merit?) His official position is not very good to be promoted again, so it is better to give him a place to make up for it, and let your third son be an official. ”

"Your Majesty," Wu Chengzhi got up and saluted, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, "but the minister's eldest daughter-in-law and one of Dalang's concubines have also been pregnant recently, and if you want to make up for it, you should wait for the two of them to give birth......"

Guo Xiaoxiao still seems to have some way, anyway, since she followed Wu Haogu, the women of the martial arts family have become pregnant, not only Pan Qiaolian has a body, but Ximen Qing and Olga have also become pregnant. In Wu Haogu's letters to Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haowen, these things are mentioned.

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

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." As he spoke, Wu Chengzhi took out the "Picture of Princess Cheng'an" "painted" by Wu Haogu and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is offered by Da Lang's ministers." ”

"Take a look." Zhao Ji took the scroll, unfolded it and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "It's really a stunning beauty, hehe, this is the beauty that Da Lang chose for me in the Jiehe?" ”

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

Why is this so twisted?

Wu Chengzhi also felt that something was wrong, and peeked at Concubine Liang, who was sitting opposite him, and Concubine Liang was looking at him angrily!

"It turned out to be Qianshun's fiancée!" Zhao Ji nodded lightly and gave the scroll to Concubine Xiaoliang, "Concubine, you can also take a look." She and Wu'er are smooth, can they be called talented and beautiful? ”

……

"Second sister, do you have two younger sisters?"

"yes......"

"They're all as beautiful as you?"

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

"That's great!"

"Big brother, do you want ......?"

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

While hurrying, the two were still talking cordially.

It's really kind, Wu Haogu called Yelu Nanxian "Second Sister", and Yelu Nanxian called Wu Haogu "Big Brother", which sounded as if he had worshipped him.

"No, no, it's not me." Seeing Yelu Nanxian's embarrassed expression, Wu Haogu hurriedly shook his head. He's not taking a concubine for himself...... Yelu Nanxian's sister can't be a concubine for Wu Haogu, where is her identity.

After all, Wu Haogu was a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, how could he accept the county lord of Da Liao as a concubine? In fact, Wu Haogu wanted to send Yelu Nanxian's sister to Zhao Ji's side. In this way, Zhao Ji and Yelu Yanxi have really become relatives!

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

"I'm nine years old."

"Nine?" Wu Haogu calculated, "Okay, great, just the right age!" Ten years later, exactly nineteen years later. ”

Ten years later?

Yelu Nanxian is even more confused, what does Wu Haogu mean? Ten years later, you want to take your sister-in-law as a concubine? How can this be? Although he has money, he can't do this!

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

"Into the palace?" Yelu Nanxian looked at Wu Haogu and suddenly understood something, "What does the eldest brother mean, let the fourth sister of my family enter the Qionglin Palace?" ”

Wu Haogu nodded, "If it can be done, Song Liao will be a family!" ”
