Chapter 859: The End

"The general is in charge of a million soldiers, and the official family is seriously ill and can't manage national affairs, so the mourning family wants to enter Beijing with a civil ......."

"The Queen Mother, the northwest is flat, it can't be called stable, and Wang Zi'an has done something to avoid suspicion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cai Qu said through the curtain.

Cai was indeed very dissatisfied with Gao Taotao's words.

First of all, Wang Ju is not a general, what a general, it can't be so qualified, the Song Dynasty has now developed a system, not to kill scholars, but to kill generals!

Secondly, it cannot be called a million soldiers.

The number of troops dispatched this time is indeed quite large, and if Hedong is included, the total number of troops has reached more than 700,000, approaching 750,000. Wang Ju also explained the reason in the book, once the Western Xia was pacified, the center of gravity of the front line shifted to Hedong, Hebei, but these two places were peaceful for a long time, and the army and civilians did not practice war, so it was worrying.

Therefore, without too much danger, it happened that the autumn harvest was over, so many people in Hedong also went deep into the Liao border with logistics.

However, in fact, in this general battle of the imperial court, the mobilized forbidden troops, the Fanluo army, the border army, and the Baojie army were only more than 300,000. Can the remaining volunteers, strong men, strong men and strong horses, and archers be considered an army, then Bao Ding must also be counted as an army, so how many troops did the Song Dynasty have? Or the common people who escort grain and grass within the country will also be counted as an army, so calculated, it is indeed a "million male soldiers".

And Wang Ju also made many moves to avoid suspicion.

The national letter of the Liao State was delivered, Zhao Ji was not seriously ill, and the big sacrifice was not a joke, especially such a temporary national sacrifice, you had to pick a date, you had to make a lot of preparations, and there was a reward.

In other words, if you go down with the high sacrifice and the reward, you will save a lot of money...... There is no way, the treasury is really a little tight now, and besides, the front is like a bottomless pit, and a lot of money needs to be filled. Of course, the difficulty will be this year and next year, and in the year after that, the border defense construction will be perfected, the resettlement will be appropriate, and the Song Dynasty will usher in bright days.

First is Wang Ju, he has already embellished many top officials behind him, so continue to embellish it again, anyway, there are many officials who are from the first product to the second product from the second grade, it really doesn't work, just add a few more knots.

followed by Zhang Xiong and the others, who not only conferred some top officials, but also rewarded the national duke with Liu Changzuo and Miao Zhi. However, there is a premise for Liu Miao and the two to reward the Duke of the Kingdom, the two are old, and this time they have experienced many long journeys, such as Miao Zhu led troops from Xizhou to Rouwolf Mountain, and then trekked to Beihetao, Liu Changzuo fought from Lingxia to Hedong, so the two of them became seriously ill one after another.

The northwest was bitterly cold, and after the war, the imperial court successively issued edicts to let the two come back to recuperate, but the situation was very bad, so they were given the title of national duke.

Not only the two of them, including Li Xian, Lin Guang, Yao Ji, Zhang Shouyue, Wang Guangyu and other generals are all sick, but they are fighting with a sigh of relief, this battle is over, and there will be no major battles in the Song Dynasty for a long time in the future, and they themselves are also famous, so they fell ill one by one, and had to be transferred back to Beijing to recuperate.

In fact, some people have died of illness in history, but Wang Ju has always attached great importance to the border generals since Wang Shao's death, and deliberately hired some famous doctors to stay by the side of these important generals and maintain their bodies, which continued their lives.

After becoming famous, let go of it in one breath, some veterans quickly died, in fact, Wang Ju had not left the Song Dynasty, and some veterans died of illness one after another.

The remaining seventy-two generals such as Yao Xiong and others will wait.

In addition to the more than 20 veterans, the rest of the seventy-two generals will be the mainstay of the future border defense of the Song Dynasty.

Then Zhao Ji was seriously ill, Wang Ju got the news, and immediately wrote a book, one is to divide Shaanxi into two, there are many arrangements that are not suitable now, such as Fulin Road, which was originally hung on it, and only from Hedong Road to allocate supplies, so it was drawn on Hedong Road.

But now it is located between Hetao South Road and Yanyan Road, and it is obviously unreasonable to classify it as Hedong Road.

However, in this way, Shaanxi Road is too large. Therefore, Wang Ju suggested that Shaanxi Road should be divided into two, South Shaanxi Road includes the original Yongxing Military Road, Jingyuan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, Huangzhou Road and Hexi Road, and North Shaanxi Road includes Huanqing Road, Yanyan Road, Fulin Road, Hetao Road, and Lingxia Road.

This is also needed in the future, but on the other hand, it is also an invisible restriction on Wang Ju's rights.

The second measure is to ban the soldiers in rotation, and most of the forbidden soldiers on the current Shaanxi Road will be sent back to Beijing in rotation, and half of them will be transferred to Hebei Road. After all, there is no danger to rely on on Hebei Road, and the military and civilians are not accustomed to war, so if the Liao State sees this loophole, it is afraid of unpredictable.

But so many battle-hardened forbidden soldiers were transferred to Hebei Road, and the Liao people were honest. Even if he is not honest, Song Jun can do it to give them a head-on blow.

With so many forbidden soldiers transferred back, it is inevitable that forbidden soldiers will be transferred from other places to enrich them.

The latter did not get any benefits, and Wang Ju was not familiar with them, and the military need for this rotation was actually an invisible constraint on Wang Ju.

Wang Ju can't help it, he is stable and stable, and if he can't be safe, he has to settle down.

Even if he leaves the northwest in May, the northwest can only be said to be reluctantly determined, and it cannot be said that it is truly determined.

It's going to take a few more months for me.

So Gao's surging suspicion is unreasonable, and the emperor is not dead.

"Gong Cai, Wang Mang and An Lushan were all known for their loyalty and kindness."

Groundless!

Anyway, I'm not at ease.

It's true that Gao Tao is not at ease.

No matter the number of troops in his hands or his prestige in the Song Dynasty, Wang Ju is like the sky, and no one can match it.

Cai is indeed unrelenting, don't look at him as the prime minister of the dynasty, if Gao Tao admits death, Cai Cheng will bow down in the end, he has no choice but to say: "Queen Mother, Duke Wen is old." ”

"The mourning family wants to take Duke Wen as his subordinate servant and add Taishi, and Pingzhang is a military and important matter."

What is the master, Cai really doesn't care too much.

Guan Jian is an important matter of this Pingzhang militarism, it comes from the Tang Dynasty, is above the prime minister, not permanent, and is located in the old minister of high morality, in order to show favor, and it is not used to deal with government affairs in the government hall if it is not a day.

If that's the case, that's it.

In fact, after the three-province system came out, China's political system was basically perfected.

The implementation of the book, the deliberation of the subordinates, the decision-making of the Chinese book, and the supervision of the ministers, and later the changes in various countries, are nothing more than these four basic cores, but in a different form.

For example, in the Song Dynasty's errand system, the prime minister was in charge of the court for a long time, which was not good for the country, so the prime minister had to let him go down after a few years, but the prime minister was unwilling? Now that there is a poor official system, it is very easy to solve, for example, Zhao Ji asked Han Qi to go down, so he specially awarded the Shou Situ, the inspection of the school Taishi, and the servant, the governor of Yangzhou, Huainan Jiedu, Yangzhou to observe and dispose of the camp and other envoys, judge the military affairs of Xiangzhou, and the same group of herds and manage the internal persuasion of agricultural envoys, add 1,000 households, and seal 400 households. He also gave the first district to be a teacher in Beijing, and promoted his son Han Zhongyan to be the head of the secret pavilion.

In fact, the real official position is to judge Xiangzhou.

However, these guards, inspectors, servants, Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor Shi, Zhunnan Jiedu Envoy, and Yangzhou Governor Observation and Disposal Camp Field Envoy are all the top officials who receive salaries, first, they will make a lot of salaries, and second, they have enough honor, well, the imperial court has not wronged Han Qi.

Besides, this supervision, in the future generations, is nothing more than that, but the means of supervision have become more, the discipline inspection department is a kind of supervision, the law judgment is also a kind of supervision, public opinion is also a kind of supervision, and the voting system of a democratic country is also a kind of supervision.

But don't think they're really progressing.

The law is judged, and if it is not done well, it becomes a tool to suppress political opponents.

As for this vote and public opinion, then ...... Hehe...... Huh.

Just like the system implemented by Wang Ju on the other side, the upper echelons do not adopt the electoral system, this thing is a joke if it doesn't work out, just ask how much political sense can **** have? Therefore, whoever has more money owners, who can control more media public opinion, and who can blow it, will be in power.

But the lower class can avoid this phenomenon, they are all villagers, what ability, what character, do not need to be manipulated by public opinion, everyone understands. Then introduce some legal guarantees, such as someone with a big fist and eighteen brothers in his family, whoever doesn't choose us will be beaten, okay, immediately after three years, then it can ensure its fairness and freedom from manipulation.

Then from the huge grassroots, select the officials who stand out as middle-level officials, after that, it is an elite change system, at least there will be no interference by capital, and at the same time, the top officials who come up have rich political experience, at least there will not be a master like Song Huizong, Song Gaozong and Song Lizong.

However, there are still many unsatisfactory aspects of such a system.

Another issue is what Wang Ju has repeatedly said, the distribution of rights.

Now the system is basically decision-making, deliberation, implementation and supervision, but at the beginning, the three-province system was the most expensive Shangshu, and in the Tang Dynasty it became the Zhongshu, the most expensive decision-making, and later it became the most expensive under the door, and the most expensive review.

That is, Wen Yanbo's official position, if he does not delegate power, he does not have much real power, and he should be a senior adviser. If power is delegated, then it is really above the prime minister!

Cai Qu left the palace worriedly and quickly wrote a letter to inform Wang Ju.

Wang Ju also quickly replied to a letter, saying that it was inevitable. But it is not as pessimistic as Cai really thought, because there is one point, and that is Han Jin.

The imperial court also agreed to divide the Shaanxi Road into two, and the South Shaanxi Road was undoubtedly richer, not only the rich Dazhou Mansions in the rear such as Hezhong Governor Chang'an, but also the Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road were also rich in water and grass, and the two roads in Hexi were also stronger than the desolate desert Gobi area in the north.

But in terms of importance, there is no doubt that it is the North Shaanxi Road, the imperial court placed Xihe Road, Huangzhou Road, Hexi Road, Lingxia Road, Hetao Road, Fulin Road nine edge roads, but the real preparation area is in Lingxia Road, Hetao Road and Fulin Road, the five preparation areas are all in North Shaanxi Road, the same way, most of the elite soldiers and fierce generals are also in North Shaanxi Road, large-scale military construction includes the Great Wall in Yinshan, but also in North Shaanxi Road.

With Gao Taotao's consent, the imperial court used Han Jin's sentence to pacify the envoys of Yanzhou and North Shaanxi Road and Yuanbian Five Roads.

This is Gao Taotao's attention to the Han family, one Han and two Lu, the Han family has the highest reputation in the Song Dynasty official family, although Han Jin and Wang Ju have a good relationship, but Wang Juxiu wants to be able to control Han Jin. One is to restrain Wang Ju, and the other is to win over the Han family.

It is normal for orphans and widows to be worried.

But after Wen Yanbo entered the court, the situation in the court will inevitably deteriorate gradually, but without Sima Guang, the speed of deterioration will not be so fast, if there is no accident, it can be delayed until the end of next year, so Wang Ju gave Cai Qu two proposals.

There is no need to provoke Gao Tao's disgust in the first one, and the second one is to persist until next year, because the construction of the northern border defense will probably have to be continued until after the autumn of next year before it can be perfected. If Cai does leave the phase, the consequences will be worse.

However, many things are not counted by Wang Ju, February came, Lu Gongzhu died of serious illness, and his appointment led to the re-emergence of some old party ministers, but he himself was also qualified, hard work, but as soon as Lu Gongzhu died, Cai did have no meaning to win over.

Gao Taotao forced Zhongshu to issue an edict to change Wen Yanbo to a right servant and Taishi Jia Pingzhang's military affairs.

Wang Ju wrote a letter and handed it to the imperial court, saying that from next year onwards, there will be a large-scale surplus in the state finances.

The original Shaanxi Five Roads were all settled down and officially entered the peaceful time. If the situation of the previous years can be maintained, the annual financial revenue of the Song Dynasty can approach 200 million, converted into a new run, it can also reach 1450 million yuan, plus there is no drag of the Song-Xia War, then it can have a surplus of 50 million new guan every year, deducting more than 10 million national debts, and a surplus of nearly 40 million new guan.

This surplus is too large.

Therefore, it is necessary to take it from the people in moderation and use it for the people.

This is used for the people, not to send money to the people, so in the end it still falls into the hands of the rich, and the poor people are still waiting to be fed, or raise a group of lazy people.

Therefore, the imperial court had to prepare river works, as well as some other large-scale water conservancy projects, to raise funds to control the river. The poor people have no financial resources, and now they give you financial resources. In fact, a few years ago, the infrastructure construction was also of this nature, but the scale of the river project was too large, and Wang Ju did not dare to let it go on at that time.

After these water conservancy projects are improved, they can benefit the people.

It is also one of the national policies formulated by officials and ministers a few years ago, and I hope the imperial court will think twice.

If it starts next year, it will be prepared this year, at least send relevant officials to inspect it.

Then he deliberately wrote a paragraph later, Duke Wen is an old minister of the three dynasties of the country, and he is highly respected, and he heard that the court summoned him to Beijing as the prime minister, and the minister congratulated him.

Since Xining, Jiefu Gong has been seriously ill in the country, and he must be treated with the medicine of tigers and wolves. The rule of Duke Wen is like cooking a small fresh, and it must be sent slowly, and the rule of Duke Jiefu will cause an uproar in the world, so that the Song Dynasty will fall into danger. The two philosophies did not agree, which led to many disputes.

Although the two dukes had disputes, they both held patriotic hearts, and hoped that the Great Song Dynasty would last for a long time.

Today's rough peace, but the Khitan should not be taken lightly.

Tang Taizong said to his courtiers: "Governing the country is like curing a disease, although the disease is cured, it is especially appropriate to protect it." If you indulge yourself and relapse from your illness, you will not be able to save it. Today, China is fortunate to be safe, all four are obedient, sincere since ancient times, but I am cautious for a day, but I am afraid of the end, so I want to count the generations of the Qing Dynasty to fight also. Wei Zheng said: "Internal and external security, the minister is not happy, but he is happy that His Majesty is in peace."

It was the time when my majesty was seriously ill and eventful. Wangwen Gong forgot the previous political disputes and grievances, and put the world first.

When this recital arrived at the court, everyone was stunned, especially some radical New Party ministers, who were unconvinced and thought that Wang Ju had surrendered!

However, Cai did not keep silent with Zhang Dan, and Wang Ju was also afraid that Zhang Duan would not understand, so he secretly wrote a long letter to him.

Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang were pleased, and this letter also meant that the previous war had come to an end...... Think beautifully!

On March 22, Wen Yanbo entered Beijing.

On the eighth day of the first month of April, the imperial court once again received Wang Ju's chapter, saying that the minister had agreed with His Majesty to serve the Great Song Dynasty for six years in order to treat the sinful body, and the six-year period would expire soon.

Gao Taotao learned that Daxi, in fact, Wang Ju had the intention of rebellion, but some of the noblewomen who were muttering around her kept slandering, so Gao Taotao became more and more uneasy. But you have to make an appearance, and you can't let the world say that the birds are all hidden.

So let Cai do issue an edict to stay.

Cai Qu also breathed a sigh of relief, Gao Tao was a general, and he was scared, could it be that Wang Ju was characterized as a military general, so as to cause harm?

Wang Ju replied again, went to the army to strategize, and used the way of the army, which complemented each other in order to win a hundred battles. Therefore, it is possible to deceive the enemy with some trickery. But as a minister, you must not deceive Your Majesty, that is the crime of deceiving the king. The minister promised a period of six years, and if he continued to stay, it would also be a crime of deceiving the king, and this case could not be opened.

I pacified the northwest, and the people of the world all sang that it was the work of the ministers, but it was actually false. Without the support of His Majesty, the northwest could not have won a great victory, without the ministers and ministers working hard in the rear, the northwest could not have a great victory, and without the heroic fighting of your soldiers, the northwest could not have a great victory. If Liu Changzuo is sick, he still leads the army in the snowfall, and holds the Liao army in Yunzhou, so that he can report the victory in Yanmen.

As a courtier, if you are not afraid and do not know how to advance or retreat, it is not a good thing for the country to do so.

However, the minister agreed with His Majesty last year that Yun Tianci married the daughter of Nanyang Hou, and now His Majesty is seriously ill, and he hopes that the Queen Mother will approve it.

Zhao Niannu did not come back, but Zhao Tianci had already returned in the spring, and he had just ridden to Lingzhou, and he was by Wang Ju's side.

Nanyang Hou is Zhao Tianci's father-in-law, the grandson of the "Eight Sages King", and the title given by Zhao Ji last year.

When Wang Ju wrote this letter, he had already let him enter Beijing in advance with his wife and the three girls selected by the Xihe people. After all, they are slower in this line.

Speaking of this, Gao Tao gave his way, and he was added to the official position again, and they all went to the other side, will the court still pay salaries? Therefore, the official positions that did not need money were increased by several times, so that the officials behind Wang Ju were embellished with sixteen in a row, and only the Jiedu envoy was embellished with four, which was more than double that of Han Qi.

Da Song is also worthy of Wang Ju......

On June 26, Wang Ju entered the capital in a low-key manner and officiated at the wedding for Zhao Tianci.

To be honest, some got married early, but there is no way, do you still expect to come back and get married in the future?

On June 27, Wang Ju, led by several prime ministers, entered the palace to visit Zhao Ji.

At this time, Zhao Ji couldn't move, nor could he speak, and could only live on some fluids, but he could still think, that is, his whole body was paralyzed, but he didn't become a vegetative person.

However, his situation was very bad, including Zaizhi's visit, which had to be approved by Gao Taotao, and Gao Taotao asked the eunuch to sit behind a curtain.

At this time, Zhao Ji knew how strong his mother's desire to control was.

But this change in heart is actually to blame Zhao Ji himself.

The Song army forced the Liao army to cede the land, and Zhao Ji regarded himself as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, he ......

Don't talk about anything else, just two people, Wang Anshi, there was also a Wang Anshi when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Sang Hongyang, if you want to defeat the Huns, you have to spend a lot of money, with the unhealthy finances of the Han Dynasty, it is more difficult to collect money.

So the more the Han Dynasty's finances worsened, which forced Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to let Sang Hongyang manage his finances, and the opposition to Sang Hongyang inside and outside the government was louder, but did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up any obstacles for Sang Hongyang, and even in order to compromise, let Sang Hongyang go home for the elderly?

Let's talk about Wang Shao, did Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put Wei Qinghuo in the rear to serve as a thorn in the back, wasting talents? Or that Wei Qing is a relative, okay, so is Cheng Buzhi and other generals a relative?

Or Li Guang, in fact, Li Guang's record in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was just that, but it was mythologized by Sima Qian and later literati. Isn't he punished for missing the deadline? Could it be that after he paid the fine, Emperor Wu of Han had to force him to commit suicide?

If Zhao Ji completely asked Wang Anshi to remove all kinds of shackles, completely reformed, and let Wang Shao, Liu Changzuo and other important generals completely remove the shackles and lead the troops to fight, would the Song Dynasty make the country rich and strong in advance?

On the one hand, he changed the law, and on the other hand, he used many old parties to restrain the reformers and engage in balancing measures, and these ministers of the old school were all powerful people, and the women who entered the palace were their wives, how could they not have a serious impact on Gao Taotao?

I'm afraid that until now, Zhao Ji has not seen through this section.

Maybe it wasn't until now that Zhao Ji completely let go of his suspicions about Wang Ju, a simple truth, if Wang Ju wants to be the emperor, he can do it on the other side, although there may be many seafarers who oppose it, but the difficulty is much lower than rebelling in the Song Dynasty.

The problem is that with his mother's performance and the appointment of Wen Yanbo, he has serious worries, and his son is still young.

So as soon as he let go, what will happen to the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, when he saw Wang Ju, his eyes flashed with reluctance, unwillingness, and regret.

If he completely believed in Wang Ju at that time and didn't let him make any six-year appointment, with Wang Ju's prestige now, even if the queen mother and Wen Yanbo wanted to join forces to do something, they wouldn't be able to succeed, then if it dragged on for a few years, when the son was older, the queen mother had to return to power, and the Song Dynasty could also develop healthily and be strong!

This is what he thinks now, but Wang Ju is really staying in the northwest and not leaving, and he is afraid that he has another idea.

Wang Ju paid homage, Zhao Ji desperately opened his mouth, and let him miraculously shout two words: "Maid ......"

Cai is indeed overjoyed, is it possible that the emperor can get better?

But as long as he shouted out, Gao Tao and Wen Yanbo still didn't dare to stop him, Wang Ju said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty wants to see Your Highness." ”

Gao Tao was silent for a while, and whispered behind the curtain.

After a while, the eunuch brought Zhao Maid in.

Salute each other, Wang Ju and the ministers must have to give a salute, but these are all important ministers, Zhao Maid also has to show respect, after saluting, Zhao Maid stared at Wang Ju with expectant eyes.

As soon as Zhao Ji fell ill, his grandmother immediately implemented strict control over him.

But fortunately, Wang Ju taught him a lot of truths, and also vaguely emphasized again and again, sometimes you have to learn to be patient, so the first line of the Book of Changes, that is, the hidden dragon should not be used, not that this dragon has no potential, but that it has little strength at the beginning, and must learn to grow latent growth.

These principles have had a positive impact on the current Zhao maid.

Wang Ju also knew his current predicament to some extent, but there was no way to do it...... Could it be that Gao Taotao will be killed?

He first took out a thick booklet from his sleeve and said: "In the past, His Majesty gave lectures to His Royal Highness, and many of them were not finished, so the minister went to the northwest. However, the northwest is full of complicated affairs, so it is not until now that the minister has sorted out some historical examples and truths, including the previous lectures, a total of 48 articles. Of course, a minister is always a minister, and the position he stands in is different, and the things he considers are different. When His Royal Highness reads it, it can be combined with Tang Taizong's "Emperor Fan", so that you can know more things that people need to pay attention to. ”

Zhao Ji was lying on the hospital bed, with a look of joy in his eyes.

Wang Ju also turned his head to look at him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will leave tomorrow." ”

Zhao Ji was reluctant in his eyes, and Zhao Maid suddenly took Wang Ju's hand.

Wang Ju continued: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, it is right for the minister to leave the Great Song Dynasty, our dynasty punished the Anshi Rebellion, and punished the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Rebellion, so many restrictions were made on the military generals, so that it was overkill. But not only military generals, if the power of relatives, eunuchs and ministers is too high, it will also cause harm to the country. Especially for ministers like Xiangchen, there is no harm in making some restrictions. Even the prime minister cannot be re-elected for more than ten years, lest his power get out of control. Your Highness, please remember that this can be passed down as a practice and law of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The Song Dynasty started well, but it became worse and worse since Cai Jingshi, and then Qin Hui, Shi Miyuan, and Jia Rudao......

"Although the minister left the Great Song Dynasty, he also continued to serve the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness, Rong Chen Qi has a piece of good news. There was a large-scale betrayal of the Khitan Obstruction Department, and in the spring of this year, at the beginning of last winter, the Khitan sent troops to suppress it and went away in a fiasco. At the beginning of this year, troops were sent to suppress it again, but it failed again. ”

This is a serious rebellion in the Liao State, there is a reference, the battle of Lingzhou Chuan, the iron cavalry suffered a heavy defeat, but the Song army's losses were extremely slight. Although the Song army forced the Liao State to bow its head, the casualty ratio of the two sides was still considerable, and even sixty percent of the casualties in the Song Dynasty occurred in several battles of the Song and Liao. Then the combat effectiveness of the Divination Blocker should be far lower than that of the Liao Army, and there are many tribes in Divination, and there are not many who really take refuge in Mogusi. Then Mogus can still be easily solved.

But the Liao State ignored one point, although the Hindu Cavalry was defeated in Lingzhou Chuan, it was a headlong into the trap of the Song army, and the three armies were not very united, and many tribal warriors, like Mogus, were very repulsed from the beginning of the conscription. If the Song army is easily defeated, then the three armies will rush forward and win after victory. But when they were defeated, these people began to flee in advance, and so defeat was added to defeat.

The Song and Liao battles were fought in depth into the Liao territory, especially the sniper battle in the Hunhe River, the Song army had few troops, and did not occupy the right time, place and people, and forcibly sniped the army of the Great Compassion Slave, so that he could not return, how could the losses not be high?

And the tribes are poor and backward, and there is no fine armor, but now at least the armor is solved by Mogus.

Under the miscalculation, the Liao army was defeated again.

"This is the first step arranged by the minister for the Great Song Dynasty, and there is the second step, the Khitan Liaodong rebellion, the Jurchens were in the scheme, and almost all the troops were wiped out, but some clan chiefs escaped by luck. The minister secretly sent someone to contact them. It is impossible for them to do anything this year, but after the ministers go to the other side, they can still give them some support, so that they can grow stronger again, and Liaodong will start to rebel again. ”

Lu Hui escaped last year, that miserable.

But fortunately, although many of the escapees were killed and scattered, it was difficult for him to gather dozens of leaders, but it was difficult to make a difference, so Wang Ju planned to go to the other side, secretly transfer an army, and then carry out devastating revenge on the Yueri Jibu. As long as this revenge is successful, the prestige of Lu Hui and these leaders will be restored again, and the great rebellion will begin again.

This is the double insurance left by Wang Ju to the Song Dynasty.

However, because Wen Yanbo and Gao Tao were present, Wang Ju only vaguely said a sentence.

"If there is no accident, the Khitan will be exhausted in this ten years, and with ten years of rest, my dynasty will be stronger."

This is also what Zhao Ji is most worried about, he can't do it now, he is dead, his son is on the throne, but the actual military power must be controlled by his mother, but he is not dead yet, Wen Yanbo will take the throne, if he dies, I don't know what the political situation will become.

Will the Liao State take the opportunity to retaliate?

What Wang Ju said was to relieve his worries.

With ten years, it is really hard to say whether the Song Dynasty will be stronger. It's hard to cure, but it's easy to get bad. But in ten years, Zhao Maid has long been in power, and the difficulty is in the current few years. Wang Ju meant to say, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, no matter what the political situation of the Song Dynasty is in the future, the Liao State has no heart to deal with the Song Dynasty, and the ministers have won the precious time for the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years.

But in front of Gao Tao, it's hard to say clearly.

Zhao Ji also understood, and there was a look of gratitude in his eyes.

"This is the first thing that the minister does to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and the second thing is the armor and some new technologies. Some people say that the minister has the merit of financial management to the Great Song Dynasty, but also, the minister's credit is pinned on the many valuable legacies left by the ancestors, without the internal governance of the ancestors, if the minister goes to the Han and Tang Dynasties, it will not be able to achieve these meager achievements. It is also pinned on the Jiefu Gong Reform Law, without the foundation laid by the Jiefu Gong Reform Law, the minister still cannot achieve these meager achievements, and there is the support of His Majesty. It is not a military merit, if it were not for this internal governance, if it were not for this kind of strong finance, the minister would also fail. What the minister did was only to take advantage of these advantages in the right way. But what is the real credit of the minister, that is, these technical knowledge. ”

"In the past, this kind of learning was regarded as a strange skill and avoided it, but it was corrected by the ministers in time. For example, if there is no gunpowder, it is impossible for our DPRK's iron output to reach more than 100 million catties, so even if Shen Cunzhong improves the locomotive, there is not enough iron resources to build roads, and the supply of the northwest and the transfer of troops will still become a problem for our DPRK, and even restrict the development of our DPRK. ”

"At present, the northwest is pacified, and the Liao State has retreated, but after a long period of our dynasty, the biggest threat we face is still the northern nomads, and the Yanyun Portal is still in the hands of the Khitan. Why did the northern nomads always become an insoluble problem for the Central Plains Dynasty? They survived on water and grass, and fed on meat, so many warriors were strong and good at riding and shooting. The more closed it is, the more backward it is, and the more backward it is. Therefore, the sparsely populated Jurchens and divination people can trouble the powerful Khitan, so the Khitan can trouble our dynasty. ”

"However, the advanced civilization is the general trend, driven by new technologies, the advantage of weapons and armor is getting bigger and bigger, if it is not for these new weapons, it will not be able to take the cities of Lingzhou, Shunzhou, Dingzhou, Xingzhou and other cities in Western Xia very smoothly, nor can it quickly take the cities of Wuzhou, Shuozhou, Huanzhou and other cities of the Khitan, so that the Khitan will not have time to mobilize the army, and the Liao lord will flee in a hurry."

"But these weapons are not strong enough, the minister intends to go to the other side to concentrate on developing a more powerful weapon, which requires a quiet environment, and when it is developed, the minister will send someone to hand over his technology to the imperial court."

"In order to support our dynasty, the other side donated a lot of money, silk, gold and silver, which made some merchants on the other side complain to the ministers. However, if the year is over, the other side's finances will be healthy again. They are the people of the Song Dynasty after all, every time the court is defeated on the front line, all the people are like mourning, and every time they win, all the people are happy. Your Majesty, not only scholars, but also ordinary people also have a sense of patriotism, including those merchants and people who migrated to the other side, but under the squeeze of the ministers, too much money was withdrawn. However, after recovery, if the imperial court has a move to recover Yanyun, I believe that many people will continue to support the imperial court. ”

"Maybe that Tianchen is also very old, and it is impossible to come to the Central Plains to make a grand move, but you can further persuade them, contribute money and efforts, coupled with the continued development of our dynasty, with more powerful weapons, it is no longer a dream to recover Yanyun, and even a stronger and richer Great Song Dynasty will stand tall in the future."

With so many reasons, I left the Song Dynasty.

However, depending on how to listen to it, people who are suspicious of Wang Ju can hear it, and when they go to the other side, Wang Ju can't rebel, not only across the sea, but the people on the other side will not agree, after all, they are all Song people.

Those who are emotional will be full of emotion when they hear it, Wang Ju has done so much, and the end is to go to the other side to escape suspicion, but that's it, he is still trying to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang Ju looked at Zhao Maid again and said: "Your Highness, since the Taizu Dynasty, several people and monarchs have been conscientious, and this is the luck of my hundreds of millions of people." However, because he was too negligent to himself, his health was not good in his later years. If Taizu hadn't died young, my dynasty would have been stronger in martial arts. If it weren't for the untimely death of Taizong, the internal affairs of our dynasty would have been stronger. In his later years, due to illness, Zhenzong neglected political affairs, and the state government deteriorated. The same is true for Renzong, and it is also a pity for Yingzong. Now His Majesty is seriously ill again. ”

"Your Highness, our dynasty needs a wise lord, but it needs a wise lord who is in good health. The minister said again, you don't have to eat too well, but you must eat enough. The clothes don't have to be flashy, but they must be protected from the cold. Government affairs must not be relaxed, but they must work together with all the ministers, not just one person, so that the body is broken, but the government affairs are piled up. Stillness can be combined, but also must be moved. The predecessors said that the solitary yin does not grow, and the solitary yang does not grow, which is also the reason. ”

Wang Ju looked at the prime ministers again and said: "In ancient times, the ancestors relied on the water to survive, the environment was harsh, flooded, pythons were numerous, crocodiles were everywhere, and fierce beasts were dense, so the ancestors combined their images, evolved into dragons, and became the totem of the Han people, but it was the reclamation of generations of ancestors that gave rise to this heaven and this land, so we must respect our ancestors." ”

"Princess, I said before that the Yellow River is our mother river, but because of the overdraft of generation after generation, it has deteriorated, and it is half water and half sand, which is a pity. But it is precisely because of this water that we drink and irrigate, and it is precisely because of this soil that we have planted and eaten from generation to generation, so we have to love this land. ”

"In the Later Zhou Dynasty, several countries were all over the place, the war was endless, and the people were devastated, because of Taizu and Taizong, so the Central Plains was able to be unified, and the people were far away from the war, and we were able to enjoy this glory and wealth, so we have to love this country."

"There are many places on the other side, and most of the people who have turned into outsiders are lazy and fierce. But the Han people in our Central Plains are hard working and docile, and it is their little by little work that has created this powerful and rich country, please take care of the people here. ”

When he said these words, Wang Ju was full of affection.

Maybe Wang Ju's methods are tough and iron-blooded, and his scheming is deep, which makes some people dissatisfied, but at this moment, several people have to admit that Wang Ju can also be regarded as a rare loyal minister.

Zhao Ji burst into tears in the corners of his eyes.

It's a pity that he can't speak at this time.

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he bowed again and again, and then left the palace.

The next day, he really left with a large family, which also announced the end of an era...... (To be continued.) )
