"In this case, who can choose for Prime Minister Zhao?" Liu Chan was very conscious. He knew nothing about the abilities of the ministers in the court, and it was better for Zhao Ding to have the final say.
But who would have expected that all the ministers would remain silent after hearing this. If they go to the north, they will inevitably face Jin Wushu. Once the city is captured again, they will be dismissed from office. Even if Yue Fei is strong enough, who can guarantee it. Therefore.
Many ministers were unwilling and did not dare to speak out. Qin Hui had intentions, but he also knew what his subordinates were like, so he had no choice but to give up.
It can also be seen from this that although the current tone of the Song Dynasty is war, the forces negotiating peace still have an absolute advantage in the court.
Zhao Ding had already thought of a candidate the day before yesterday, so he said: "I recommend Liu Qi, the Sima Army Commander."
Liu Chan's mind was confused. What kind of official position is this, in charge of food and grass? Then he heard Zhao Ding continue to say: "Liu Qi was born as a general and the son of Liu Zhongwu, the governor of the Luchuan Army. He knows a lot about war. What's more, in the
Many battles with Xixia ended in victory. In the battle of Fuping, he even fought with Jin Wushu. Therefore, I suggest that Liu Qi be stationed in Luoyang, and he will live up to your majesty's high expectations."
Although Zhao Ding really annoyed Liu Chan occasionally. After all, Zhao Ding was the one who kept coming to advise him the most, but he was capable and loyal enough. He immediately made a decision: "Okay, let's send Liu Qi."
Stationed in Luoyang, Yue Fei was ordered to station in Shunchang. In addition, he warned them that once the Jin army invades, they must fight back immediately and never let the Jin Kingdom enter our territory of the Song Dynasty."
All the leaders and sects nodded. In this way, they can be safe in Lin'an. They thought about it again, and it seemed that it would be more beneficial for them, the leaders, to have a safer border. Therefore, they did not express any intention to Liu Chan's will.
be opposed to.
Qin Hui was slightly surprised, feeling that His Majesty had suddenly become very courageous. Zhao Gou wished he could discuss the matter for several days, repeatedly discussing the matter of sending generals to guard the border, fearing that some generals would have different ideas. Moreover, he would have to
Add a lot of restraint and send a eunuch to supervise the army. How can we be so generous today?
Zhao Ding also didn't expect Liu Chan to agree so quickly, so quickly? Although Liu Qi is indeed suitable and he is a civil servant, we still have to discuss it. Has this been discussed? No, right?
"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Zhao Ding, a man in his fifties, bowed immediately, without giving the ministers any time to react. He acted like a twenty-year-old young man.
The military generals have been selected, which minister will be sent to take charge of government affairs. Liu Chan looked at Zhao Ding and shook his head in his mind to balance. He immediately looked at Qin Hui and made a look, which meant: Come on, recommend someone.
Qin Hui immediately understood Liu Chan's eyes and immediately gave Wang Lun a look, asking Wang Lun to recommend someone first so that he could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
So Wang Lun stood up and said: "I recommend Sun Jin to participate in the political affairs of the governor." Sun Jin, people of his group, if they have such a good thing, of course they should give it to their own people first. Being transferred to the north can be in charge of the government affairs of a government, which is quite a big deal.
Yu Zhengyipin.
But Sun Jin didn't think so. He was a high-ranking governor who participated in politics, but he would be frightened every day when he went to the north. How could he live a stable life in Lin'an. If he didn't go, he would be killed. He immediately went out and said: "Information
Your Majesty, my humble ministers are not capable enough. If something happens, it may jeopardize the northern defense line. I beg your Majesty to send another official there."
Wang Lun was slightly startled, and understood what Sun Jin was thinking. Indeed, being a high official in the north is not as good as being an official in the capital. What's more, there is no money to be made in the north, and people are frightened every day. Who is willing to go there?
But if this job is handed over to people from Zhao Ding's faction, the power of the main war faction in the north will be too great. This is definitely not the case, but there is no suitable person from their faction to go. The official position he wants to go to is not high enough.
, those who could go did not want to go. So Wang Lun gave Qin Hui a look: I can't handle it, no one wants to go.
Qin Hui thought for a while and understood what the situation was. He thought about it again and had a countermeasure in mind. He immediately said: "Why don't your Majesty send the scholars from the Imperial Academy and the ministers who have moved south to Lin'an and have no official positions to preside over it?"
Government affairs in the north. Firstly, those officials have experience in governing the north, and secondly, it can also let the scholars experience the hardships in the north."
Qin Hui knew about the news that Liu Chan cursed the scholars in Taixue. Although the scholars all supported the peace negotiation, there were only so many officials in the court, and they were all in trouble. He also sent these peace negotiation scholars to the north, and then he
Wouldn't it be nice to cultivate a group of scholars who can negotiate peace?
By then there will be peace-making forces in the north, and a group of peace-making forces in the south will develop, and you will be able to seek the position of left prime minister. As for those officials who have no official posts, won't this be arranged for you again?
"Yes." Liu Chan nodded, and then said: "Although the north has been recovered now, wars will inevitably occur. The officials and scholars sent there will obey Liu Qi's command. Liu Qi was appointed as the governor of Luoyang, responsible for assisting Yue Fei.
In managing northern affairs, in case of war, you must obey Yue Fei's orders."
"Your Majesty, the military and political power of Henan Province has been vested in Yue Fei alone. If Liu Qi is ordered to obey him again, it will be too powerful and the disaster of the Tang Dynasty vassal town will be repeated." Wang Lun came out to retort, just now he felt that Yue Fei's power
It's too big, and now it's all Liu Qi.
"It doesn't matter, this is wartime. The military and political power are temporarily unified, so that Yue Fei can take charge of Henan." Seeing what Wang Lun wanted to say, Liu Chan stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "I believe in Yue Fei's loyalty, and I hope he can restore Henan to its original state. In addition, I believe in Yue Fei's loyalty.
, tell him that although he is in charge of all important military and political affairs in Henan, if I hear that he supports the army and ignores people's livelihood, I will never let him go."
Liu Chan also just thought that what he did was a bit like Zhou Mu during the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty was famously destroyed by the Yellow Turban Disaster, it was actually destroyed by Zhou Mu. However, in the current situation, it is better to drive away the Jin soldiers first.
It was just a place of residence, and Liu Chan was confident that he could hold it down.
Seeing that Liu Chan wanted to continue sending troops, Qin Hui immediately gave Wang Lun a look. Wang Lun had been in the court for a long time. How could he not understand what he meant? He immediately came out and asked: "Your Majesty, the south and other places
The development of the country is imminent. If war breaks out again and the rear is unstable, how can we have enough food and grass to send troops to the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Chan hasn't played much these days, and he also knows something about the development of the south. The south seems to be very suitable for growing grain, and the output is actually more than that in the north. Why didn't he know this when he was in Shu?
A little. Oh, what a pity, what a pity.
However, if he were the emperor of the Song Dynasty, he would definitely give priority to developing the south at this time. But Liu Chan was the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he valued the north more. If the north was not recovered for a day, Liu Chan felt that he could not sleep well.
There was no way. Back then, the Xiongnu in the north had attacked the Ganquan Palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Today, the Jin Kingdom had captured Bianliang, Kyoto. Liu Chan still thought it was better to recover the north first. He said calmly: "The south must be developed, and the north must also be developed.
Recover. If the north is not recovered, the Jin Kingdom will move south again in the future, and Lin'an will be in danger. If the Jin Kingdom will move south again in the future, how can you all in Lin'an protect yourselves? From now on, everyone, focus on the Northern Expedition."
The leaders and factions thought about it, and it seems that this is also the case. At present, only Yue Fei can compete with the Jin State, which is much better than the previous Song Dynasty. If we fight a dozen now, it won't be a problem. Anyway, there is no shortage of food.
The Northern Song Dynasty lacked generals, and the Southern Song Dynasty lacked prime ministers!
The Song Dynasty has finally waited for a general who can fight for a hundred years. Therefore, even if the leaders and factions are unwilling to give in, they can only agree to Liu Chan's idea when it comes to their own lives. Let Yue Fei fight and see where he can hit.
, if it doesn’t work, just negotiate for peace again. Anyway, I’m familiar with the routine.
As for the issue of grain and grass that Wang Lun mentioned, it can also fool uninformed people. No minister who can gain a foothold in the court does not know the situation of grain and grass. Now the Song Dynasty's grain and grass reserves can be used for a year if they are allowed to fight!
Zhao Ding, Han Shizhong and others were in tears. This is because His Majesty the Emperor clearly stated in the court that everything should be based on the Northern Expedition. His Majesty finally understood that the North was the foundation of the Song Dynasty.
Qin Hui looked a little indifferent. He could say that all his opinions for so many years were in vain because of Liu Chan's words. The Northern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, and the peace negotiation were not good, and your Majesty, didn't you support the peace negotiation before? Qin Hui felt deeply pained.
It's tiring to see His Majesty like this.
Zhao Ding was very happy to see that the discussion in the court was very beneficial to the Northern Expedition, but he also remembered something and asked aloud: "Your Majesty, although Shunchang and other places have been recovered, rebel armies still exist in various places.
I wonder how your Majesty wants to deal with it?" The problem of the rebel army belongs to the military, or should it be left to Liu Chan to handle it personally.
Liu Chan was reminded by Zhao Ding's words that he had been too excited just now and discussed some things, ignoring what Yue Fei wrote about the rebel army. According to Yue Fei's letter, the rebel army did not belong to the regular army, but because he could not bear it,
The Jin Kingdom was wreaking havoc and being in a war-torn area for a long time, so military discipline was particularly poor and the fighting was particularly fierce!
Liu Chan subconsciously substituted the situation into the version of the Han Dynasty, and his eyes suddenly lit up. This was not an appropriate replica of Liangzhou. There were Han people and Qiang people in Liangzhou. The two sides were feuding, so they often fought with each other. However,
The Qiang people could never defeat the Han people, and they were often slaughtered. However, because of this, the hatred between the two sides became even greater.
Even compared to the hundreds of years of war between the Han and Qiang, the war between the Song and Jin Dynasties was a bit like playing house. The two sides really fought for more than a hundred years, and hundreds of thousands of bones were buried.
Liu Chan's deepest impression of Liangzhou was Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang cavalry. They really didn't know how to do anything and were focused on fighting and causing destruction. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were so powerful. They were the overlords at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In front of Xiliang's cavalry, there was no way they could fight. I think back then, when the eighteen princes challenged Dong, if Dong Zhuo hadn't suddenly withdrew his troops, it's still unclear who would win and who would lose.
This is why Liu Chan said that because of Liu Xie's weakness, he did not prevent Wang Yun from issuing an order to kill the Xiliang cavalry, which caused the Xiliang army to invade Chang'an again and extinguished the last spark of the resurgence of the Han Dynasty.
This kind of person is a sharp weapon in foreign wars, but if it is used in internal wars, it will simply destroy the country. Don't you see, what happened to the Han Dynasty after Dong Zhuo entered the capital? After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang army also
They still defeated Lu Bu and captured Chang'an. Therefore, if this kind of army is not used properly, it is very easy to cause problems.
