Chapter 377 The most fertile fertile soil
Yesterday, Zhao Huan met Qin Hui and returned to Han Concubine's bedroom, where he spent the night.
He saw with his own eyes that Han Chenchen had eaten three big chicken legs, and his mouth was full of oil.
Judging from her like this, she obviously tends to gain weight!
The next day, early in the morning, the kitchen brought the imperial meal.
Zhao Huan left after breakfast.
As soon as Zhao Huan arrived at the Chuigong Hall, Shao Chengzhang ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Jie is asking for a meeting."
"Wu Jie?" Zhao Huan was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had recruited him from the northwest to the capital.
There are too many things happening these days, and I almost forgot about Wu Jie.
"Hurry up!"
Wu Jie was summoned to the palace by Xuan.
"See Your Majesty!"
Zhao Huan was very happy to see Wu Jie.
Wu Jie is already forty-one years old this year, but he looks very energetic.
Once a person has a spirit, he will appear young.
Wu Jie looked like a young man in his early thirties, with his black hair standing up neatly. His outline was not handsome, but he looked very comfortable. His eyes were bright all the time, and he seemed to be full of curiosity about many things.
But occasionally, his eyes will show a sharp edge that will only appear when fighting.
Privately, he is more like an uncle next door.
On the battlefield, he returned to Wu Jie, who commanded thousands of troops.
And at this moment, in front of the emperor, he was a loyal minister.
Zhao Huan looked up and down at Wu Jie and said, "Wu Aiqing, how are you injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, my injuries have been healed."
"I am asking you to come to Tokyo this time. First, I want you to rest well in Tokyo for a while. The imperial physicians in the palace will take turns to take your pulse and ensure your health. Second, I want to let you write your combat experience in the Military Academy. I want to include it in the compulsory courses of the Imperial Military Academy."
Wu Jie was immediately flattered and moved.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was still thinking about his injuries, and he did not expect that he had such a heavy weight in the emperor's heart.
"Thank you, I can only repay Your Majesty for your grace with death!"
"You are my general protecting the country. You must take good care of your health. I will not allow you to talk about death in front of me at any time!"
Wu Jie smiled awkwardly: "Yes!"
Wu Jie said again: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"What's wrong with Wu Qing, but it's okay."
"Please give Yue Fei a lighter blow."
Zhao Huan said: "Wu Aiqing, don't worry about Yue Fei anymore. This matter will be handled by the Supervisory Office."
"Your Majesty, I am not trying to be arbitrary, but I just think that Yue Fei is a rare talent. When marching and fighting, and deploying troops, I am not as good as Yue Fei. Your Majesty must not lose the pillars of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Wu Aiqing, you are humble in front of me. No matter whether what you said just now is true or not, at least there are few people who can compare to your Wu Jinqing's mind."
He seemed not to want to discuss Yue Fei's matter with Wu Jie, so he interrupted Wu Jie and continued: "Okay, Wu Aiqing, this matter is not something you should worry about, I will deal with it."
The emperor said this, so Wu Jie didn't want to say anything.
"How is the border guard in Hei Water Town?"
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is in order. From last year to this year, ten villages were built in Heishui Town to connect the Heishan defense line to the east."
"Do you know what Yelu Dashi has been doing recently?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, Yelu Dashi recruits soldiers on the grassland. He now claims to have an army of 200,000, but according to my understanding, the real force should be 120,000."
"120,000 is not much. If he really wants to grow to 200,000, it will be dangerous. I will restrain Yelu Dashi and temporarily suspend his power development. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is wise. Once Yelu Dashi really reaches an army of 200,000, the other tribes on the grassland will not be his opponents. The most important thing is that he has the confidence to bite us. After all, we now occupy the most plump Hetao. If Hetao falls into his hands, he may become the second Li Yuanhao!"
It seems that Wu Jie is very clear about the situation, and there is no need to worry about Zhao Huan at all.
The reason why Zhao Huan sponsored Yelu Dashi was that he hoped Yelu Dashi would help him share the pressure of the Jin Kingdom so that he could free up his hands to solve domestic affairs and northwest affairs.
Now, the country is basically peaceful, and those people are dancing in small fuss.
Dangxiang was destroyed by him. After five years, the Song army had completely renewed its military equipment and military discipline, and they were definitely confident to fight the Jin army head-on.
What's more, the emperor's firearms are still being improved.
Therefore, the role of Yelu Dashi has begun to weaken and even become a little redundant.
It was only a matter of time to get rid of Yelu Dashi, but Zhao Huan still wanted Yelu Dashi to fight several battles with Wanyan Sheng.
The hostility towards Yelu Dashi cannot be easily revealed.
"Wu Aiqing, I have someone to arrange a mansion for you. You can temporarily stay in Tokyo. The imperial doctor will come over to take your pulse every day to ensure that you are truly cured. Don't ask more about Yue Fei's affairs, what should be done, and what should be done."
"yes!"
Seeing that the emperor had some important matters to deal with, Wu Jie did not stop, so he took his leave first.
Xu Churen, Li Gang, Zhong Shidao, Shi Xun and Tang Ke were all waiting, and of course, Zhao Zhongcong.
The emperor entered the Chugong Hall.
"See Your Majesty."
"Everyone is free from gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Zhao Zongzheng, have you told me all the things?"
"Report to your Majesty, I've said it."
"So you guys can discuss the results?"
Tang Ke really wanted to say that Your Majesty, I am opposed to the feudal division because the royal family members were too stupid to take on this great task.
But Tang Ke couldn't say this, because Tang Ke also knew why the emperor had enfeoffed the feudal.
After the royal family case, the royal family is a hot potato. If it is not sent out, it will sooner or later be a disaster in the Song Dynasty.
Rather than doing this, let them get out of here.
"Your Majesty, the military will be dispatched from Jiaozhou Road. Zhang Jun now has 150,000 soldiers, each of whom reinforces 20,000 troops, which is enough to protect the safety of the Houguo."
After hearing what Li Gang said, he didn't plan to take the initiative to attack as soon as he went up, but to engage in a defensive battle. If anyone doesn't offend me, I won't offend others.
Obviously, Zhong Shidao also agreed with this. If there is no reason to send troops, the unjust soldiers will cause the whole country to resist Chameng and Zhenla, and the situation will be bad.
"Grain can also be transferred from Jiaozhou Road, but since it is enthroned by the Marquis, it cannot be regarded as free funding from the imperial court."
Xu Churen said, "When he said that he wanted the royal family to pay for it!"
The three officials on the side, Zhou Dynasty, immediately agreed to the proposal.
The two of them adhere to the attitude of saving one thing, so that the pressure will be much less in the financial report at the end of the year.
Zhao Huan underestimated himself, the former ministers of the imperial court, and did not expect that he would save money like this.
Especially the Zhou Dynasty, this guy can never pay a penny without paying money.
Zhao Huan said: "You can arrange these things. I don't have the energy to ask so much. I have a doubt. What if Zhenla and Chameng agree to us establish a marquis on their territory?"
This question is very tricky.
Your Majesty, you seem to have made plans that others disagree, so you deliberately planted two marquis countries there to disgust others?
I am afraid that others will agree to your request!
It turns out that you are ready to go to war if others disagree and then others start!
Seeing the ministers looking at each other, the emperor continued, "In the southernmost part of Champa, where the Jiulong River enters the sea, there is a fertile plain, which the locals call the Jiulong River Plain. During the Renzong Dynasty, the rice in Champa came from there, and there was more food there than Jiaozhou!"
The ministers then realized that the emperor had taken the attention of the land.
But how could the emperor know so clearly?
Chameng is a remote small country. Although the Song Dynasty had trade with Chameng, it was not clear about the food conditions there.
