Chapter 750: Zhou Xiaoyu
"At that time, the minister was facing the Qianfu's point, what can he do if he stays inland?"
If you don't go to the other side, can you bring these six great gifts?
This shows that Wang Ju was very loyal to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ji said regretfully: "I was too impatient at the beginning. β
However, Zhang Dian and the others thought in their hearts that if it weren't for these two fiascos, even if Wang Ju brought back the six great gifts, I am afraid you would not reuse them.
But no one blames Wang Ju, Wang Ju is talented, and he is not a prophet who can pinch and calculate. When I left, I knew that there would be two fiascos in the future.
However, there are some people with dark psychology behind their backs, privately thinking that Wang Ju may not know about the defeat of Yongle City, but through various news, it may be judged that there will be a coup d'Γ©tat in Western Xia, and maybe the Song Dynasty will think that it is a good opportunity to attack Western Xia. Once attacked, the Song Dynasty would be defeated. So the king swayed away, so that the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers knew that the Song Dynasty could not do without him.
True or false, this has become the biggest mystery in the future history of the Song Dynasty.
However, there are not many people who think about the latter, at least now under the fiasco, they dare not think or say.
"The speed of immigration is far from keeping up with the speed of population growth, because of immigration, there are rare stories of people drowning their children on Fujian Road, but everywhere Han Yun goes, he still sees that when there is a spring famine, people eat wild vegetables, gnaw tree bark, and are so hungry that they have no strength to walk. Therefore, many people know that usury is a fire pit, and they want to jump down, and they are really hungry and have no choice. Are they all lazy and lazy? In fact, needless to say, Fujian Road, even in the area of Beijing, there are such extremely poor people. Immigration is also unsolvable. If the state does not take the initiative to regulate, there will be more and more such people. The Song Dynasty was in danger. Don't think I'm troublesome. I promised Your Majesty. This time he came back to make meritorious contributions, and he only held an official position for six years, and after six years, he became a minister. β
Hearing Wang Ju say this, there was an uproar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court has its own rules, and there are no rules, and there is no circle. Your Majesty's re-engagement of me was a great defeat twice. Rescue in case of emergency. It is a special case, not a regular rule. β
Wang Juyi said that the spread of poor households was miserable, and secondly, he also said that he should not mess with me again, anyway, I only served as an official of the Song Dynasty for six years.
I will return to the other side in the future, but this country has collapsed, and it is you and your children and grandchildren who will be harmed!
Of course, want to me. Just face my counterattack.
Anyway, I don't want to stay forever to see who's good!
And this time, Wang Ju only came back with Qiongniang. His children, his wife, and the eldest princess Zhao Niannu, did not come back.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Wang Ju took a look at the house not far away.
Han Yun said: "The eldest princess of Lu Guo has moved in. β
Song Renzong also gave birth to several daughters in his later years, three daughters grew up safely, Princess Huiguo married Qian Jingzhen, the great-grandson of Qian Yu, King of Wuyue, Princess Yongshou married Cao Shi of the Cao family in the ninth year of Xining, and the youngest sister, Princess Baoshou, married Guo Xianqing of the Guo family last year. But Zhao Niannu was already on the other side at that time.
Among the three younger sisters, Princess Huiguo has a slightly arrogant temper, and Zhao Niannu is a little disliked.
But the two younger sisters in the back, the second sister has a thrifty personality, quite similar to Zhao Zhen, and the third sister has a quiet personality, and Zhao Niannu likes it very much.
So before leaving, he took out part of his cane sugar deed shares and handed them over to the children of the clan, and some of them were taken out and distributed to his three younger sisters.
Including her house, it was also handed over to Princess Yongshou, that is, the eldest princess of Lu Guo as Han Yun said.
However, Zhao Niannu's idea is to ease the conflict between Wang Ju and the Cao family.
Among the relatives, one is the Gao family and the other is the Cao family, which has a huge influence.
There are too many enemies, and even if Wang Ju comes back this time, he may not be able to survive these few years.
And then the eggs.
But Wang Ju also acquiesced in Zhao Niannu's approach, and he wouldn't come back anyway.
But Wang Ju neglected Song Renzong's shadow power, at the beginning, he was always worried that his group of people would reject Zhao Niannu's mother and son, after all, compared to the concubines of his wife, Qiongniang, who accompanied him from birth to death, their mother and son can be regarded as an outsider.
However, I didn't expect everyone to accept them, Wang Ju talked to Tao Qing about this issue in private, and Tao Qing said, Renzong is a good emperor.
Wang Ju was speechless, just like in history, when the Jin people knew that Princess Huiguo was the daughter of Song Renzong, they immediately escorted her to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.
But how to look at this matter, Song Renzong's flaw is not that he is weak, if that is the case, he will not ask for a white jade horse as his only burial object. The defeat of Qingli is mainly because it has been peaceful for so long, and that person knows who has military talent?
Therefore, Song Renzong's biggest flaw has nothing to do with weakness, but rather his connivance at the rampant of scholars.
As for Zhao Ji's flaws, there are too many, but the biggest flaw is not the change of the law, but the checks and balances that led to the split of the scholars and doctors, and the formation of the party to fight against differences.
Wang Ju muttered: "Things look like people...... But that's fine. β
Although it is a familiar street and a familiar house, the familiar people are on the other side, or when they leave that day, there is no longer any concern!
Walk back home.
Han Yun had already asked his subordinates to clean up the house.
Wang Ju came to the study, sat down with Han Yun, and asked, "How is Helan Shi?" β
"It's quadrupled." Han Yun said excitedly.
In the Song Dynasty in history, everyone did not pay much attention to Helan stone, and it was not until the Qing Dynasty that there was a saying that there was one end of the two and three Helan, and it also established its status.
But because of Wang Ju's promotion, everyone finally realized its value over the years, not only can be made of inkstone, but also seals, paperweights, pen holders, ornament pendants and stone carvings.
However, because of Han Yun's early purchase, the output is getting smaller and smaller. It's not that its reserves are small, on the contrary, its reserves are very high, far exceeding the red silk inkstone, Yi inkstone, Tao inkstone, just because it is mostly located on the cliff of Helan Mountain, with the current technology, it is not easy to mine.
So before Han Yun hyped it, the price gradually rose.
Han Yun said again: "Although the imperial court suffered two heavy defeats, the Western Xia people suffered equally heavy losses, in exchange for money. The Liang clan sent countless folk stonemasons. Climb the cliffs of Helan Mountain. Helan stone was mined on a large scale, and then sent special personnel to escort it to the border and sell it to our Korean private merchants. I heard that every day because of the mining of Helan stone in Western Xia, several or dozens of people will die. Taibao, can we do it? β
"Wait a little longer, until next year."
"Why?"
"After the two wars, our DPRK also suffered heavy losses, and it will take three years to stabilize the country."
Han Yun understood.
But he was excited. He had waited nearly a decade for this.
"Taibao, this time you can show your skills."
"It may not be so smooth, it can only be said that the official family has passed. But you can't underestimate the doctor, thinking about how powerful the Jiefu Gong was. Just like the current court, Cai Gong, Zhang Gong, and Zhang Zihou are all law-changers, and Li Ding, the head of the household department, Xie Jingwen, the master of the system, Lu Dian, the middle scholar, Kumamoto, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, Shu Yan in the matter, and Cai Bian, the living house, etc., can also be regarded as the law-changing faction. But because of a little stupid hat Zheng Xia, Jiefu Gong went down. β
Don't think that there are very few ministers of the reform faction, only Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, and Zhang Dun. If you think about it that way, you don't know what's wrong.
With these few people. Can you change the law? (Or just like Wanwan, GMD says the mainland, MJD says the light of Wanwan, GMD says NT$450 million, and MJD says a sixteen-year-old girl.) GMD didn't know how to deal with it, but had to comply with public opinion and say that Xiaoyu did the right thing, but in fact, Xiaoyu was Zheng Xia in disguise. With GMD's clumsiness, it's basically a lost. The truth is pretty much the same, this is ugly and dark politics! οΌ
So don't think that the overall situation is already decided this time, if these people join forces, all kinds of means will be impossible to prevent.
Even if Wang Ju threw out the theory that I would only stay in the Song Dynasty for six years.
Also, why did Lu Gongzhu propose to grant the prince Taibao, this seems to be very remarkable, Taishi Taifu Taibao, Sangong Alas.
What is the master Bao, the teacher, the Son of Heaven taught the law; Fu, Fu Xiang Tianzi; Bao, the son of security Yu Deyi.
However, what do you think in the hearts of the world, Shi and Fu seem to be the prince's teachers, but Bao is not, it is protection.
Well, Wu Chen also!
These small stalks were buried, and even Zhao Ji didn't notice it.
Han Yun's face finally became solemn: "Then what should we do?" β
Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "It's better to find a Zhou Xiaoyu, no, find a Zheng Xia." No matter what means are used, they cannot be given any respite, after all...... I've already paid the price of 600,000 people, and I can't afford to lose! β
"Who is Zhou Xiaoyu?"
"A stupid girl, a person who is even more stupid than Zheng Xia."
"The people of that dynasty?"
"A woman in a rap book, don't ask."
Who Zhou Xiaoyu is Han Yun doesn't know, but Zheng Xia does.
However, it is not easy to operate, first of all, this person is not easy to find, he must be very stupid and naΓ―ve, even if he is a victim of tragedy, he is at a loss, and he must have some small fame to have a certain influence.
And there are opportunities.
The opportunity to operate Zheng Xia is the Xining drought, in fact, disasters are not very normal in ancient times, just like when Song Renzong was in power, there were two epic droughts, and there were two extraordinarily large Yellow River embankments, even if Song Yingzong had just a few years, there was also a major flood.
However, with this disaster, it can be operated.
Just like Wen Yanbo saw that there was no chance, he even took out a small mountain earthquake in Huashan to operate. Isn't it normal to have earthquakes, there were also earthquakes during the time of Song Yingzong, and there were not only major earthquakes in Hedong during the time of Song Renzong, but also accompanied by large-scale volcanic eruptions.
But people can climb and crook the building.
So both were pondering.
At this time, the porter came in and reported: "Taibao, Zhang Gong is here." β
"Oh, let him in, no, I'll get you out." Wang Ju stood up and greeted the door, the relationship between the two was really good, but they were outside the city in front of everyone, so it was inconvenient to be noisy.
At this moment, the two of them saw each other, and their faces were very happy.
Wang Ju took Zhang Dan's hand and let him in, and said, "Brother Zihou, why are you here, aren't you afraid of impeachment?" β
"Zi'an, you said that you have only served as an official for six years, three years in the middle school, and three years in the northwest, and you have already made it clear, so why should I be afraid of impeachment?"
On the surface, this may seem like this, but it is not necessarily the case.
Wang Ju took Zhang's hand and walked into the living room.
Qiong Niang made tea, Zhang Dian said: "It's good that you are back, after last autumn, I came back from Jiaozhi, His Majesty asked me what good strategy I had to deal with Xixia, I said that I have your ability, and I can win thousands of miles away." As a result, Xiong Botong was transferred back to the capital, and His Majesty also asked Xiong Botong, which scared Xiong Botong so much that he didn't dare to answer. His Majesty was a little dissatisfied with letting him serve as the squire of the Ministry of Works, but he used Xu Chongyuan as the squire of the Ministry of War. β
"Hehe," Wang Juyile said.
In fact, don't talk about Zhang Dan, even Zhang Qi doesn't have the ability to strategize and win thousands of miles away.
Wang Ju is even worse, but compared to the second chapter, he just has a big finger.
Especially against the Western Xia people, if the Western Xia is destroyed and let him deal with the Liao State, without this finger to use, he may also be helpless, at least the judgment will not be so accurate. This is also the reason why he proposed to leave the court after destroying Western Xia.
Otherwise, if you don't get it right, you will become Xue Rengui, and you will have a tiger and a snake's tail, and the evening will not be guaranteed.
Wang Ju asked again: "Zihou, what is the quality of the husband and brother on Yunnan Road?" β
Last year, we also gave assistance, but this year we have not supported Yunnan anymore. We have to prepare a lot of money and transfer it back to open the banking department.
"Yunnan Road is rough, that is, the area west of Tengchong Prefecture Kaijiang (referring to Enmei Kaijiang), because the terrain is complex, it can only be restrained, and the east area is basically settled, and some people from Yongchang Mansion and Weichu Mansion have migrated to settle in the past, persuading them to raise horses and sell them to the imperial court and traders later. And last winter, Yu Mudu struck a blow at the people of Bagan, so frightened that Bagan sent envoys to beg for mercy from our court. β
Wang Ju knew about this last year, and in fact, Zhang Ji had been planning since the winter of the previous year, how to fight with Bagan at the lowest cost.
The reason is that since Wang Ju got Dali, Bagan thought that Dali was unstable, so it quietly expanded its sphere of influence to the north, so that the Lanna region and Mengfan region (Chiang Rai in northern Thailand), which were originally obedient to Dali, fell to Bagan successively.
However, Zhang Ji was pinned down by Tengchong Mansion in the south, and he had to suppress the rebellion internally, further implement the land reform and return to the stream, and cooperate with Lin Guang to clean up the areas ruled by the beggar brothers, so he could not be distracted from the south.
However, in the letters exchanged between the two in private, he revealed that he planned to lure the Bagan army to the border by inducement and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
How it was fought last winter, Wang Ju is not clear, about Zhang Qi's plan has been successfully realized.
The significance of this battle is not to really defeat Bagan, let alone to occupy them, but mainly to deter them from expanding their power to the north.
Anyway, he has been fighting non-stop for the past few years, but as a result, Zhao Ji is afraid that he will miss the major events in the south, and there is no way to recall him back.
"It's good to win." Wang Ju said happily.
After all, deep into the Mudu region (the southern part of the Shan State region of Burma), the terrain was almost entirely tropical and densely forested, and for the Song army, this environment was very unfavorable for the Song army.
Wang Ju asked again: "Who are the governors of the six roads in Shaanxi?" β
"Yongxing Army is Liu Zhen and Liu Xidao, and Yan Yanlu is Liu Changzuo."
"Huh?"
"This fight is the most dazzling performance he has performed."
In fact, Li Xian's performance was also good, but when it came to the eunuchs, the scholars didn't dare to speak for him, as for the seed, he was too lonely during the summer season, and his performance was even more chilling when he was defeated in Yongle City, so Zhang Dian didn't mention it, although the seed had just died.
Zhang Dian said: "Jingyuan Road is Lu Bing and Lu Zhongfu, Huanqing Road is Zhao Yu and Zhao Gongcai, Qinfeng Road is Liu Jin and Liu Yuanzhong, and Xihe Road is General Miao Zhi. Taibao wants to replace one person with a hostage? β
In fact, except for Liu Changzuo, Miao Zhu, and Zhao Yu, the other three of these six roads are not competent, especially Liu Zhen of the Yongxing Army, who is also Wang Ju's political enemy.
"With this idea, Tengchong Mansion is west of the river, even if I join forces with the hostage, I can't really manage it. Not only the west of the Kaijiang River, but also some territories in the northwestern mountains and snowfields, the southernmost territory, cannot really be managed. Now the surrounding area of Wumeng has completely calmed down, and the goal of penetrating Dali has been basically achieved. However, the specific situation has to be asked with special feet. β
"Zi'an, deal with Western Xia now...... It's difficult, two fiascos, by the way, with that kind of artillery, it's easy to deal with Western Xia. β
"Brother Zihou, what about that possibility." Wang Ju laughed dumbly. (To be continued.) )
