Chapter five hundred and sixteen

Zhao Qi was startled by Zhao Xu's words and stood up in a hurry.

Zongzheng, is he? A blind man.

Zhang Dun and others had no objection, and the clan mansion was not an important part of the imperial court sequence.

"that's all."

Zhao Xu stopped Zhao Quan from speaking, looked directly at Zhang Dun, and said, "If you want to concentrate on reform, you must strive for an external peaceful environment. Tubo and Li Xia must be shocked and let them stay honestly for me. On the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Tiancheng came just right, so he used this as an excuse. If his life was broken, he would not be too depressed. Zhong Jianzhong would attack tentatively. I want Song Xia's border to be uneasy! If they don't let me live, they would not have a good life!"

"I received the order."

Zhang Dun responded with a serious expression.

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Everyone else, the grand grandpa will follow me to the Privy Council."

After saying that, he got up by himself, walked out through the side door, and headed straight for the Privy Council.

The crowd raised their hands.

Zhang Dun waited for Zhao Xu to leave, and then said to Cai Bian: "This Xiao Tiancheng, you can deal with it. Then call the six ministers and others over, and order them to inform them and make full preparations."

Cai Bian raised his hand to respond, his eyes fell on the ground, and Xiao Tiancheng, whose face was a bit ferocious.

Zhang Dun followed Zhao Xu to the Privy Council. In the Chuigong Hall, there were only Cai Bian, Wen Yanbo, Xiao Tiancheng, and Chen Pi.

Zhao Quan left the Chuigong Hall with some confusion and was led away by the yellow gate.

Cai Bian stood in front of Xiao Tiancheng's face and said, "Shangshu Xiao, you and I are both scholars, why do you come to this?"

Xiao Tiancheng, who died in a life, forced the Liao Kingdom to go to war with the Song Dynasty, actually did not conform to Xiao Tiancheng's personality. This person was calm and rational, and was a person who could do great things.

It’s a pity to lose it here just because of nothing.

Xiao Tiancheng also had clear footprints of Zhao Xu on his face. He turned his head, looked at Cai Bian, and sneered: "If you Song people are not curbed early, with the increasing civil strife in the Great Liao Dynasty and the decline in national strength, they will sooner or later be annexed by you Song people. It is hateful. We are in charge of the treacherous ministers in our dynasty, and we do not want to make progress, and we do not know that death is coming. It is hateful, hateful!"

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and said, "I think it's because you have endless internal struggles. You can't do anything to come up with this bad decision. I believe that in addition to worrying about my Song Dynasty, I also want to take the opportunity to eradicate your treacherous officials in your country."

Xiao Tiancheng looked ferocious and became more angry and hated, saying, "No! As long as my court starts war against Song, the ministers will lose a lot of power. Your Majesty can catch them all, clear the administration of the government, and revive the Great Liao!"

Cai Bian sighed with his hands behind his back, "Shangshu Xiao, you are confused after all. Emperor Liao was in power for decades, and he really couldn't see clearly the loyalty and treason of the court officials? If he wanted to deal with someone, he still needed you to make a decision?"

"Mr. Cai, you will have this day in the future!"

Xiao Tiancheng sneered and sarcastically. He actually knew this in his heart, but those who are ministers either deceive themselves or wishful thinking; or they just wanted to use means to force the prince to act according to their ideas.

Xiao Tiancheng, both are there.

Cai Bian shook his head and looked at Wen Yanbo. Seeing that it was meaningless, he turned to Chen Pi and said, "Official Chen, Shangshu Xiao is taken away by the Political Affairs Hall and remanded to the Ministry of Justice. Is it feasible?"

Chen Pi hurriedly smiled and said, "Grandpa Cai is joking about the villain. How should Xiao Tiancheng deal with it? Naturally, some of them decide, so the villain dare not talk too much."

Cai Bian smiled at him and waved his hand to the guards outside the door to drag Xiao Tiancheng away.

He walked out of the Chugong Hall side by side with Wen Yanbo, and talked as he walked:

"Mr. Wen, everything is basically settled. The edict of the change of the Yuan Dynasty, the edict of the new policy of Shaosheng, the report of various 'new laws', the plans of each department, and the tasks for next year have been basically completed. What other ideas do you have?"

Wen Yanbo was hunched over and walked very slowly. He looked expressionless and said, "Grandpa Cai, in this way, something big will happen next year."

The various "new laws" formulated by the "New Party" caused a stir in the Shenzong Dynasty and were opposed by the world. Seven years after the abolition of the "Wang Anshi New Law", the "New Party" returned and had greater changes and wider impacts. All kinds of terrible consequences can be inferred from the Kaifeng Prefecture pilot alone.

In short, four words: the heavens are angry and the man is resentful!

Behind these four words, there is a huge crisis. To put it in a small way, it will cause turmoil in the world and restless people. To put it in a big way, changing dynasties, reenacting the old stories of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, or even the Five Barbarians invading China is not a delusion!

Cai Bian smiled faintly and said, "As long as the court is united, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome. Besides, how big can a saint be in heaven?"

Wen Yanbo's expression gradually became solemn, stopped, looked at Cai Bian, and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I am worried about two things. One is the chaos in the local area. Now is not the time. The 'Shaosheng New Policy' will inevitably stir up chaos in the people. You and I know it well, and there is no need to say anything. Second, I am also worried about the government. The government is too young and not the late emperor. They may not be able to support Zhang Zihou like the late emperor supports Wang Anshi. If the holy heart changes, a great disaster will come."

Cai Bian didn't expect Wen Yanbo to be "heart-to-heart" and said his heart.

The two of them stood between the Chuigong Hall and the Political Affairs Hall, both far and near, just in time to avoid everyone's ears.

Cai Bian looked at Wen Yanbo, pondered for a long time, and said, "Grandpa Wen, Sima Jun actually commented on Wang Xianggong's 'don't cherish himself for the country'. What do you think of Zhang Zihou?"

Wen Yanbo held his hands behind his back and looked towards the direction of the Privy Council, saying, "Zhang Zihou is more courageous and cruel than Wang Anshi, but this is also his fatality. Under his promotion, the 'Shaosheng New Deal' will inevitably be resentful and chaotic. In addition, Wang Anshi can escape unscathed and die. Zhang Zihou is afraid that he will be crushed to pieces and will not be buried."

Cai Bian's expression remained unmoved. He was not a young man, and his official career had been ups and downs for decades. At the same time, he also considered their future.

Zhang Dun acted too arrogantly and chose the "all the righteous courts". Almost all the courts and the people were "New Party", and under the "Beijing Cha", all the officials in the world would be "New Party".

Such unprecedented domineering behavior, Zhang Dun also became an unprecedented powerful minister!

Throughout history, none of such powerful officials have a good ending.

Cai Bian also looked at the direction of the Privy Council and said, "'Do not care about your own safety and danger, wealth and honor, and the fact that he has made a name in history is not within his consideration. Wen Xianggong, the 'Shaosheng New Policy' still needs your strong support."

Seeing Cai Biantu missing, Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "The disaster is coming, I can do it for a limited time. I just hope you will do it."

Cai Bian smiled and said, "It's a blessing or a disaster, it's too early to say it."

Wen Yanbo did not speak anymore. They were all people with firm minds. Even if things were in a downturn, their original intention would not change. It would be useless to say more.

At this moment, Zhao Xu and Erzhang were talking about the "military reform" in the Privy Council.

Zhang Feng sat at the lower right of Zhao Xu, listening to Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun finishing the simple words of "Xiao Tiancheng", with a solemn expression.

Tubo, Li Xia, and Liao attacked Song from three sides, this is not good news!

The Song Dynasty thought that it had defeated Li Xia and temporarily quelled external threats, and was preparing to make every effort to promote reforms, especially the "military reform", which would be one step ahead of government affairs.

After a battle two months ago, the Northern Third Routes are taking the opportunity to promote the "military reform", rectify the army, merge, lay off, train, and improve combat power.

Tubo, Xia and Liao, suddenly attacked from three sides. For the Song Dynasty, it was a bit unexpected and must be taken seriously.

Zhang Feng sat on the stool, thought carefully for a long time, leaned over to Zhao Xu and said, "The official family, on the side of Tubo, Chengdu Prefecture, Lu Huiqing was appointed as the manager. He mobilized 100,000 troops from all over the country. With Lu Huiqing's ability, not to mention counterattack, it is more than enough to defend it, so there is no need to worry too much. Li Xia, Lingzhou is in hand, with Guo Cheng's ability, Li Ganshun could not even enter Lingzhou City, so he can be relieved. The only thing that needs to be concerned is the Liao Kingdom."

Zhao Xu sat upright, listening to Zhang Feng's analysis, and nodded slightly.

Tubo was scattered and the tribes fought one after another, and there were not many troops able to unite. Xixia was defeated by Zhao Xu in the last battle. The troops that could be used in his hands were 50,000. It was a dream to use 50,000 people to conquer Lingzhou where Guo Cheng let go.

The only thing that needs to be taken seriously is the Liao Kingdom.

Although the Liao Kingdom was frequent civil turmoil, it was deeply trapped in the bandit suppression vortex. The centipede insect died without being stiff. With the national strength of the Liao Kingdom, it was able to divide 200,000 troops southward.

Zhang Dun's face was cold and his eyes were cold, and he said, "The Three Kingdoms Alliance was because His Majesty defeated Li Xia and almost destroyed the country, which caused their uneasiness. This alliance was actually fragile. First of all, Li Xia was the breakthrough point. He ordered Guo Cheng to send troops out of Lingzhou to set up a battle to Xingqing Prefecture, and Li Xia could only be trapped. As long as he set up a large army and attacked him up, Li Xia's lesson was in front of Li Xia, Tubo would not dare to move around. Then only the Liao Kingdom was left, and it was caught in civil strife. It was still unknown how determined the Liao Kingdom was to go to war with our Song Dynasty. If this alliance was collapsed, the Liao Kingdom was 70% sure and retreated without fighting!"

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun, nodded and smiled, "I agree."

The tactic of "shallow attack and disturbing farming" has miraculous effect on the Western Xia. People in the world say that it is Zhang Shi's contribution, but in fact, Zhao Xu knew that this tactic came from Zhang Dun!

Zhang Feng also believed in this clan brother. After thinking carefully, he said, "I can trust Zhe Keshi's ability. With the cavalry of Zhong Jianzhong, he will not be defeated even if he cannot win a big victory. The Three Kingdoms Alliance seems to be aggressive, but in fact it is very weak. I believe that our plan should not change significantly, and we can only make a slight change to support it."

In this case, it would be better.

Zhao Xu has always been cautious and said: "First, infiltration should be stepped up in the Liao territory, and guidance and support should be provided to all rebels. Li Xia's army should not leave Xingqing Prefecture. Second, all routes in the north enter the second-class combat readiness, and various intelligence lines should strengthen monitoring of the Liao Kingdom. Third, the navy should speed up the construction of Weihai, and the priority is that this matter is on the first-class matters of the Privy Council and the Ministry of War. Fourth, the 'military reform' must continue to be promoted. Jiangnan West Road is time to be completed."

"I received the order."

Zhang Dun and Zhang Ju stood up together and raised their hand to receive the order.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly and said, "Sit. On the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Tiancheng will send his head back to judge the Liao Kingdom's next actions. Let's watch. What do you have any other ideas on Jiangnan West Road?"

Chapter 2: Sit down and look at each other.

Zhang Qi said: "There is no problem with Zong Ze, and the Hu Weijun is ready."

Zhang Dun said: "The officials at all levels of Jiangnan West Road have been selected similarly to the Ministry of Personnel. All prefectures and counties and important positions have been replaced. Zong Ze also served as the governor, governor, strategy, and general manager, and has great power. He strives to solve the various disadvantages of Jiangnan West Road in one year. In the second year of Shaosheng, the "Shaosheng New Policy" will be fully implemented."

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun and said, "Have you made up your mind?"

Zhang Dun looked serious and said, "Yes! Anyone who resists the "Shaosheng New Policy" on the West Road in Jiangnan will be exiled to Qiongzhou regardless of grade, background, scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, and will be exiled to Qiongzhou!"

Zhang Feng didn't know about this. Listening to Zhang Dun's murderous aura in his ordinary words, even his face changed!

If this is the case, how much would Jiangnan West Ruth exil?

This is an "evil policy". I don't know how many major storms will be caused, but I am afraid that the Song Dynasty court will be overthrown!

This was agreed upon by Zhao Xu and Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun was hesitating before. When Zhao Xu saw that he had decided, he said, "If you want to do it, you must be firm and thorough. Jiangnan West Road is in the hinterland of Jiangnan. If this place is done well, it will be a big tree that will be cut down. No other roads will be a problem!"

Zhang Dun finally made up his mind. As long as he made a decision, he would naturally go to the end.

He looked at Zhao Xu and said, "Officials, I am worried that Zong Ze cannot take on this great task."

Although Zong Ze is in his thirties, he only won the first place last year. He has only been in office for two years. Can such a young man do things as they expected?

Does Zong Ze dare?

Zhao Xu naturally considered it and said, "Imperial City Division should also use it. I mentioned the third rank to the Imperial City Division, which is not good-looking. I decided to set up the Nanhuangcheng Division on Jiangnan West Road and match the Tiqi, first with one thousand people, and eight hundred people were selected from the local area!"
