"Because all the Zhao officials in the past were more timid than the others." Wanyan Zongjun said.

This kind of thing is said by people who don’t understand politics or running a country at all.

"Although there were no strong kings in the Zhao Guan family in the previous dynasties, the ministers of the Song Dynasty should not be underestimated." Zong Qian said, "Wars between countries cannot be accomplished by relying on individual courage."

Wanyan Zongjun said: "If it were me, I would move the capital to three towns in Hebei, gather the troops here, and fight the Liao Kingdom head-on. I don't believe that the Liao Kingdom can't deal with it. Those Zhao officials have stayed in their safe nests for a long time.

"

Wu Shu regretted not killing the idiot Wanyan Zongjun.

Wu Shu said: "When the Song Dynasty moved its capital to Hebei, how could it ensure the supply of food and commodities to the capital?"

Zong Jun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

In fact, every pig knows that Chang'an and Luoyang are in danger of being defended, but why do few people in the Song Dynasty say they want to move the capital to Chang'an?

Because Chang'an is already in ruins and the river transportation is blocked. If the capital is moved there, the daily life of the capital cannot be guaranteed. How can we support the army?

"The Song State has been unable to defeat the Liao State because the internal system of the Liao State was the most successful in history. The Khitans and the Han people ruled the world together, integrated with each other, and relied on each other. They had the stable finances, taxation, craftsmanship, and population of the Central Plains dynasty, as well as the

The bravery and war horses of the Khitan people."

Next, Jin Wushu said something very profound about this era: "After the imperial system of the Central Plains was combined with nomadicism, it became extremely powerful."

Zong Qian said with some surprise: "Do you think we should also learn from the Liao Kingdom and adopt a combination of multiple systems?"

"That's right!" Wu Shu said, "There are nearly six million Han people in our dynasty. The Han people's governance skills are extremely sophisticated. They can not only stabilize the internal affairs, but also expand the population, accumulate strength, and quickly restore national strength."

"What do you want?"

"Set up the southern governor in Nanjing (Yanjing) to rule over the Han people, and set up the northern governor in Shangjing to rule over the Khitans and Bohai people."

"Are you trying to say that all officials in the south are appointed to be Han Chinese?"

"No, the highest political official appointed in Yanjing must be a member of our tribe." Wu Shu said, "And the Chinese culture must be fully implemented."

"I object..." Wanyan Zongjun stood up immediately.

"Your objection is invalid."

Wu Shu's cold eyes glanced over, and Wanyan Zongjun was so frightened that he immediately shrank back.

Wu Shu added: "Our dynasty is now facing a critical moment and must start restructuring. Otherwise, the foundation of our ancestors will be destroyed."

Wanyan Dan nodded: "It all depends on King Wei."

Others didn't dare to say anything more.

"There is one more thing, which is very important." Wu Shu said again.

"What's the matter?"

Wu Shu said: "Sa Lihe said that when he fought with Song general Wu Jie in Hedong, Wu Jie took only half a day to capture Dingxiang City. Later, I sent scouts to Fugu, and Dingxiang secretly inspected the city one after another.

, it is said that a very powerful trebuchet appeared in the Song army, and someone asked among the defeated soldiers the day before yesterday, which confirmed this."

"Capture Dingxiang in half a day?" Wanyan Zongjun sneered, "Is it possible that the Song army's trebuchet could have destroyed the city wall?"

"There are such rumors."

"This is impossible!" Zong Jun continued, "The trebuchets smashed the city wall down. This is a deliberate exaggeration by the Song people."

"This matter must be taken seriously and needs to be investigated carefully. If it is true, we must get the manufacturing process of this trebuchet!"

Time flies by so fast, and it’s already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

A large amount of manpower and materials began to arrive in Duli City, Liaodong.

Obviously, the Jin army also knew that Duli City was the logistics supply point for the Song army.

During this period, the Jin Army also launched several attacks on Duli City. However, due to the unique location of Duli City and the cover of the navy, it was difficult for the Jin Army to launch a large-scale attack on Duli City.

The situation in Fuzhou has also temporarily entered a confrontation stage.

Early in the morning on the 16th of the first lunar month, as soon as Zhao Ning finished eating, Gao Qiu came over.

"Official family."

"What do you want from me?"

"Lu Yihao is here in the capital. He arrived the day before yesterday."

"Oh, him, he was recruited into the capital by me, what's wrong?"

"After he arrived in the capital, many officials visited him one after another, and there was an endless stream of people visiting him." Gao Qiu lowered his voice, as if he was here to make a snitch.

"It seems that Lu Yihao is quite popular."

"But I heard that when this person was in Yanjing Mansion, he was domineering and liked to be nepotistic." Gao Qiu said.

The Yanjing Mansion he mentioned refers to the place where the Song Dynasty bought back Yanyun from the Jin Kingdom after the Liao Kingdom was destroyed after the Song-Jin Sea Alliance.

At that time, Aguda plundered the people of Yanyun and headed north, leaving the city empty, and Lu Yihao was the transport envoy to take over the Yanjing Mansion.

But later, when the Jin people went south to Yanyun, he was captured by the Jin people. In the first year of Jingkang, he was released to Kaifeng, and then resigned due to illness.

In recent years, he has been recommended by others to serve as a local official.

"Those who are domineering have the spirit of thunder and ability." Zhao Ning said, "Right now I am short of someone who can do the best for me."

"Isn't there Zhang Jiucheng?"

"Zhang Jiuzheng is too young. He is suitable for doing things and not suitable for withstanding the pressure of the opposition in the court, but Lu Yihao is definitely capable." Zhao Ning said with a mysterious smile.

Only then did Gao Qiu realize that everything was arranged by Zhao Guan's family.

"The issue of handing over banknotes is related to the livelihood of countless people and will not be peaceful."

At this time, someone from outside said: "Guan family, Lu Yuanzhi wants to see you."

"Let him in."

After Lu Yihao entered the palace, he saluted: "I see your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

"No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard that you have performed well in Hebei East Road in recent years?"

"This is what your Majesty's new policies are all about. How can I dare to take credit and be arrogant?"

"Do you know why I came to find you?"

"I don't know."

Lu Yihao actually knew.

Because starting from the first month, there has been a lot of discussion within the officialdom about the left prime minister.

There are many names recommended below, but I don’t know where the rumor came from. The left prime minister may be Lu Yihao, the former Hedong East Road transfer envoy.

Word spread that Lu Yihao actually came to Beijing.

This rumor has basically become an established fact.

"I want you to join the political affairs hall and make you the left prime minister." Zhao Ning said concisely and to the point.

Lu Yihao's acting skills were on point, and he quickly knelt down and said, "I am so virtuous and capable."

"You get up first."

Lu Yihao stood up.

While Gao Qiu had a panoramic view, he only said one thing in his heart: Keep acting!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"It's not easy to be the left prime minister. The country is in troubled times, and the official road from Tokyo to Taiyuan is ready to be repaired. I want you to start from this matter. What do you think?"

"Cultivation of officialdom is naturally a plan for the ages, and it is the result of eternal achievements. It is best to pay money as a salary so that the people can get money."

"But now some people have complained to me, saying that this will destroy the credibility of the banknotes."
