Chapter 0132 Heart-to-heart talk between king and minister
Li Hu didn't have time to think too much, and slashed at the evil with a long knife. Li Quan was running for his life in front, unable to see clearly what was going on behind him, so he had to dodge based on his feeling. But Li Quan was not a god after all, and most of his right arm was cut off by the long knife.
.
Suddenly, Li Quan was covered in blood and fell to the ground rolling. Then Li Quan gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but Li Hu's long knife was already pressed against his throat.
On June 13th of the first year of Hengsheng, Li Quan's rebel army was defeated by Zhao Fan in Yangzhou. There were countless casualties and bloodshed for twenty miles. Li Quan was captured alive and taken to Lin'an for questioning. This Li Quan rebellion lasted for nearly five months.
It finally subsided.
Chuzhou was recovered and Li Quan was captured. These two good news were carried to Lin'an by fast horses one after another. The officials and the people of Lin'an were excited. Everyone rushed to tell each other and celebrated the victory.
In a lively and festive place, two people were sitting opposite each other in a pavilion. There was a Go board placed on the stone table in the middle. The two were playing in silence, with few words spoken.
If there are any acquaintances here, they will find that these two people are Cui Yu and Zheng Qingzhi, who had previously served as prime ministers.
However, both of them were idle at home at this time and had no jobs.
The two of them settled down calmly one after another, you and I taking turns, feeling relaxed and relaxed, which was very comfortable.
When the battle reached a stalemate, Zheng Qingzhi luckily won a sunspot. He put away the sunspot, but he was not happy. He said: "The wind has stopped, but the storm is coming."
Cui Yu calmly dropped a sunspot and said with a calm face: "How can there be a storm in Wujian Tower and Lutai?"
Zheng Qingzhi was surprised and raised his eyes to look at Cui Yu. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and continued to play chess without saying another word.
At the same time, in the imperial palace and Funing Hall, Zhao Yun was discussing matters with Han Hong.
Han Hong said: "Your Majesty, I have asked the Privy Council to pass an order to order all the bandit-suppressing armies to turn to the border area between Song and Jin Dynasties, to exert the power of invading the Kingdom of Jin, and to force the Kingdom of Jin to send envoys for peace talks. When the two countries reach an agreement, all armies will return.
The teacher returns to the court."
Zhao Yun nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, Huainan has been decided. The Jin Kingdom is declining, and the Mongols are encroaching on its territory and exhausting its national strength. They will not dare to start a national war with me, the Song Dynasty. The affairs of the Jin Kingdom are decided.
"
After saying that, Zhao Yun turned his attention to Jiang Hai, Meng Gong and the others. Zhao Yun said: "Now the overall situation has been decided, but Jiang Hai and others are still fighting for the country in the Kingdom of Jin. Their logistics must be sufficient. If they
The situation is critical and we must immediately increase our troops to cross the river."
Han Hong solemnly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I am always paying attention to Jianghai's movements, and I have ordered the Jinghu Production Department to mobilize 10,000 troops and reinforcements at any time."
Zhao Yun no longer worried and said with appreciation: "The Qing family is in charge of the Privy Council, so I have nothing to worry about."
Han Hong was overjoyed to be recognized by Zhao Yun.
After Han Hong left, Zhao Yun sat for a while, thinking about the events before and after the war, and deducing its outcome. He felt that there was no serious problem on the Jin side, so he immediately got up, rummaged on the bookshelf, and read the article about Wang Anshi's Reform.
Take out the books and read them carefully.
Now that Li Quan's rebellion has subsided and the Jin Kingdom will soon end, the reform has been put on the agenda, and the time is getting closer.
Zhao Yun read the book for a while, but for some reason, he felt absent-minded and nervous.
"what happened?"
After reading for a long time, Zhao Yun could not read a single word in the book. Zhao Yun had to put down the book, stood up and walked back and forth in the study room, while taking a deep breath to adjust his emotions.
After his emotions stabilized, Zhao Yun calmly analyzed the reasons for his sudden change of mood and believed that the reform was too important. Therefore, the closer it got, the more stressed and flustered he felt.
Alas, Zhao Yun is still a human being after all, and he will sometimes feel uneasy when faced with big events.
"Come here, pass Han Hong."
Zhao Yun ordered someone to summon Han Hong again, and soon Han Hong came.
Zhao Yun raised his hand and asked Han Hong to sit down. Han Hong raised his hand to thank him and sat down.
"Qing family, you are older than me, have more experience, and are more understanding of people. I would like to ask you, if I want to implement reforms at this time, how should I implement it?"
Zhao Yun looked at Han Hong and asked for advice seriously.
Han Hong looked cautious and said: "Your Majesty, as a privy envoy, it is not convenient for me to get too involved in many affairs."
"The Qing family is still so cautious, even I can't easily hear what you say, hahaha,,,"
Zhao Yun laughed a few times, a bit lonely in his laughter.
Zhao Yun opened his heart and said: "Qing family, today you and I do not discuss each other as monarchs and ministers, but only as close friends. I will not hide anything from each other. From the beginning to the end, except for me taking notes and planning steps from time to time, there is no second step in the reform."
Personal participation, so I am inexplicably flustered today and feel that I am working behind closed doors, so I want to ask you for advice."
Zhao Yun's sincerity moved Han Hong, and Han Hong also knew that the reform was of great importance. If it failed, the entire dynasty would be greatly damaged, which Han Hong did not want to see.
So Han Hong said: "Your Majesty, the reform matter is of great importance. If you want to listen to my opinion, then I will say so. But if your Majesty is unhappy with anything I said, please forgive me."
Zhao Yun said solemnly: "At this time, you and I have no kings or ministers, only close friends and confidants. It doesn't matter if the Qing family just says so."
Han Hong did not hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, you want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, which is good, but I think you still haven't found a good helper. Just like now you want to discuss reform with others, but looking at it,
, but there is no one to talk to.
The scope of the reform is unimaginable. It is impossible for Your Majesty alone to think of all aspects of the reform, let alone to have a solution to every aspect. I suggest that your Majesty calm down first, observe carefully, and do not rush.
,Reform is not something that happens overnight. A successful reform can take as short as ten years or as long as decades. If you are urgent, you will abolish it, if you are slow, you will establish it. Take your time."
After hearing this, Zhao Yun felt that it was reasonable and nodded: "The Qing family is right. When Shang Yang of Qin carried out his reforms, he was able to kill Qin Xiaogong. It took eighteen years for the reforms to bear fruit. Now look at it.
Come on, I can't wait to carry out reforms in the morning and destroy the enemy's country at night. It is indeed too hasty."
After saying that, Zhao Yun laughed at himself: "I am still too young and don't know how high the sky is."
Han Hong showed a kind and friendly smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. Only at your age can you have the courage to carry out reforms. If your Majesty were more than ten years older, you might not be able to do it."
Already."
It is true that when people get older and their anger is gone, they naturally don’t want to make trouble.
After communicating with Han Hong, Zhao Yun became calmer, no longer impatient, and had more attention.
The next day, Zhao Yun got up early, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to Cining Hall as usual to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Yang.
