Chapter five hundred and fourth imperial drive(1/2)

But literati who play politics always like to ignore one thing.

All political rules are formulated under the control of hardliners who hold real power.

The ministers left behind by the older generation could not get rid of the deep-rooted influence of the past, and believed that the balance between the DPRK and China was very important.

But in Zhao Huan's view, his own safety is the most important thing.

After ten years of development, the imperial court vigorously innovated and trade was unprecedentedly prosperous. The Royal Bank of China kept printing Jiaozi day and night, and a large amount of wealth flowed into the people through the dominance of the imperial court.

This will inevitably create a large number of top rich people.

People’s initial purpose is very simple, and they may just want to make money and make their lives better.

But people's hearts will change.

Once you make a lot of money, you will think about making more money.

To make more money, a stronger desire will inevitably arise, and the eyes will begin to shift to power.

Similarly, there is unprecedented power in the hand, and endless wealth has grown rapidly through the power in the hand.

At first, those in power also had their original intentions, but as time went by and under the instigation of those who had money and had ambitions, people would also change.

The two began to merge and a new interest group was born.

In the current view, this new interest group does not conflict with Zhao Huan.

They are the new businessmen and are the products of Zhao Huan's new policy.

They even helped Zhao Huan expand the borders of the empire and transport the Song Dynasty's economy to places that the army temporarily could not reach.

Moreover, Zhao Huan's empire strategy for the next ten years is also indispensable.

In Zhao Huan's own judgment, they are the bourgeoisie.

During the ten years of reform, Xu Churen gradually became the number one spokesperson of the merchants in the court.

This change was not allowed by the emperor.

What's more, in order to find more powerful power in the Song Dynasty, the new private capital began to participate in the selection of the prince.

What is this to do?

Just now I’ve learned how to walk, and I’m about to make a big deal?

This undoubtedly touched Zhao Huan's sensitive nerves.

What caused Zhao Huan to break out was a murder case in Yingtian Mansion in half a month.

No matter how you look at this, it is a trivial matter and is not enough to alarm the emperor of the empire.

But this was a shooting case.

The one who shot was Zheng Yun, the third son of the Zheng family in Yingtian Prefecture.

In Zhao Huan's heart, the gun is a powerful weapon for the country and an indispensable equipment for the army.

The court was still making more muskets to the army. In the future, the army of the Song Dynasty would have to cross a wider vast territory and reach a more distant foreign country.

But if the musket falls into the hands of the people, especially the large families in the local area, it is simply telling Zhao Huan: I want to kill you, the emperor!

Why did this matter involve Dazai?

Xu Churen was originally from Yingtian Prefecture, and Xu Churen's wife Zheng was the eldest daughter of the former head of the Zheng family.

In any case, Seo Churen cannot be separated from this matter.

During the Battle of Jin, the emperor did not hesitate to cause turmoil and wanted to dismiss Xu Churen, which shows how angry he was about this matter.

Even in the eyes of Zhao Huan, a person suffering from paranoia, the Zheng family is deliberately provoking trouble.

Want to murder me!

According to the new laws of the Song Dynasty compiled by Zhang Shuye and Liu Yanzong, this is a serious crime of killing the head.

The judicial process of this matter went very fast. On the third day of the incident, Zheng Yun's head rolled on the ground.

The Zheng family was also implicated and was confiscated. All the huge property in the past ten years was filled into the treasury.

Although the fuse for Seo Chu-in's demotion was the Zheng family, this matter was not put on the table.

Xu Churen's crime is corruption.

The Zheng family’s handling is completely official to the outside world.

It may be many years later that the connection between the Xu Churen case and the Zheng family can be found in the unofficial history of the people.

No matter what, the emperor has done his best to Xu Churen.

After all, during this period, Liu Yanzong did not eat or drink to go in and out, just to make Xu Churen die.

The Censorate listed a crime, and even the matter of Xu Churen taking a concubine at the age of age was revealed.

Liu Yanzong sued Xu Churen in the court for having a strange habit.

For example, you like to drip wax oil on people and tie up your concubines with ropes.

I also like the strange sounds of my concubine.

These words were spoken out loudly by Liu Yanzong in the court where the Holy Emperor and the court officials discussed affairs, but his face was not changed and his heart was not beaten.

Liu Yanzong was so shameless that naturally a large number of people stood up and pissed him off.

For this reason, another spectacular war of words broke out in the court.

In this war of words and comprehensive situation, Xu Churen was demoted.

Judging from the demotion of Xu Churen, the emperor did not turn against others in everything.

At least, the emperor kept Xu Churen's life and continued to have an official position, although it was just a small idle person.

This gave the ministers some comfort.

Under the factional dispute between various forces, Yu Yunwen was in charge of the government affairs hall.

Few people have expected that a power-beating drum and passing flowers in the Song Dynasty would come so quickly.

The position of the head of the Political Affairs Hall was actually given to a twenty-seven-year-old young man.

No one knows what the young man will do next.

When Yu Yunwen first entered the center and served as the Minister of the Navy, he presented the "Four Strategies of the South China Sea" and became famous for his strong reputation.

Under his leadership, the strategy of the Song Dynasty's South China Sea achieved brilliant results.

Therefore, Yu Yunwen also has a group of supporters.

Yu Yunwen is a standard pro-war faction, and he is even tougher than Li Gang.

When Xu Churen was there, he kept making concise remarks on the Northern Expedition in the court.

After he came to power, he obviously wanted to fully support the Northern Expedition.

He said to the emperor in the court: "Zong Xianggong passed away, and the morale of the Youzhou army is floating. Please come to Beidu in person to calm the hearts of the people."

As soon as he said this, he was opposed by almost half of the people in the court.

Some people even compared him with Liu Yanzong, openly calling him a treacherous minister, bewitching the emperor, and corrupting him.

Dazai Gangyi, now he asked the emperor to go to Beidu again. Isn’t this intention to make trouble?

But the emperor agreed on the spot.

The ministers were in a sensation now.

The Political Affairs Hall has just changed, and many things will inevitably happen. If the emperor is not here, wouldn’t it be a big deal?

Is the emperor crazy?

Countless ministers complained that the emperor was so willful that he was in the mood to run to Youzhou at this time!

Five days later, Zhao Huan sat on the imperial guards heading to Youzhou.

Those who accompanied him were the Chief Secretary Tang Ke, the brave Marquis Han Shizhong, and the Central Army Governor Zong Ze.

Of course, there are still 30,000 elite men in the Feather Forest.

The emperor set out in a mighty manner and arrived at Youzhou Prefecture ten days later.

When he heard that the emperor was coming in person, the originally low Youzhou Prefecture was immediately excited.

On the afternoon of late autumn, I saw a neatly-shaped Yan Yun army outside Youzhou City, led by Jie Qian and others to welcome the emperor outside the city.

In addition, there are Li Guang, the governor of Youzhou, Sima Junru, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division, and others.

Zhao Huan was rushed into Youzhou City under the warm cheers of the entire army.

The last time I went to Youzhou was ten years ago.

That time, Zhao Huan traveled through time, faced the Jingkang shame, and went north to trick the boats and tricked him back from Wanyan Zongpan.

This time, we will destroy the Jin Kingdom.

Zhao Huan always felt that life was like dreaming.
