Liu Chan has already despaired of Zhao Yuan's military level. This is simply what a person who has never been exposed to royal education said. Liu Chan originally expected that after a hundred years, Zhao Yuan would be able to connect the past and the past, work hard, and destroy the generals together.
The Kingdom of Jin. Now it seems that it would be good if Zhao Yuan could defeat the Kingdom of Jin. Zhao Yuan does not know how to deal with the relationship between generals at all. He only knows who will fight. War is about cooperation. No matter how strong a person is, it will not matter.
Maybe you can keep winning.
Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty was not strong, but that was under the premise of having Wei Qing as a guarantee; Yue Fei's performance last time was not good, but that was also due to Han Shizhong's contribution to containing the Jin army.
Liu Chan looked at Zhao Yuan in a daze. Now he regretted handing over the crown prince's position to Zhao Yuan. He thought to himself: "Forget it, this guy's internal affairs ability is not bad. After he succeeds to the throne, the country will be stable. That's it."
If so, I have to get rid of this trouble in the Kingdom of Jin before I die. If I go, why am I doing the work again? The courtiers are not doing their job, and neither can my son. Look at Li Yuan’s two sons.
Look at mine."
In the official history, Zhao Gou abdicated, and after Zhao Yuan succeeded to the throne, he vindicated Yue Fei's unjust case, and also reused some of the main combatants to actively prepare for war. In May of the first year of Longxing, Zhao Yuan appointed the elderly Zhang Jun as the head coach of the Northern Expedition to launch a campaign against the Kingdom of Jin.
The Longxing Northern Expedition was launched. The Song army restored Lingbi, Hongxian, Suzhou and other places within one month to intimidate the Central Plains. Later, the Jin army counterattacked with its superior strength. However, the Song army was disorganized due to the discord between its leading generals and suffered another defeat when it withdrew.
When the Jin soldiers chased them, they suffered heavy losses and returned in defeat.
After the failure of the Longxing Northern Expedition, Zhao Yuan knew that he was not the right one. From then on, Zhao Yuan never made another northern expedition to the Jin Kingdom. Instead, he internally rectified the administration of officials, managed people's livelihood, encouraged farmers and mulberry farmers, and built water conservancy projects, which made the entire Song Dynasty
Cattle and horses were everywhere, and the surplus grain was distributed in the fields. There was a peaceful scene of peace and prosperity in the world. It was called the "Reign of Qian Chun" in history.
Liu Chan sighed helplessly: "Hey, this time I go on an expedition, you will be responsible for supervising the country. When I leave, I will hand over all major affairs in the court to Prime Minister Zhao. You will watch and study hard. I hope that when I come back, you can
There has been some progress.”
Zhao Yuan clasped his fists and said, "My son, I will live up to my father's love."
Liu Chan thought of something else: "Talk about your views on Prime Minister Qin."
"Prime Minister Qin?" Zhao Yuan was secretly surprised. Qin Hui has always been your confidant. Why do you ask for your opinion? Is there any meaning in it? Zhao Yuan was a little confused about Liu Chan's thoughts and could only tell the truth.
: "Prime Minister Qin has a strong ability to govern and is also proficient in maneuvering. He is quick-witted and good at avoiding disasters. Looking at the ancients, I have never seen a minister like Prime Minister Qin. I heard that Prime Minister Qin was also a staunch war fighter and opposed
ceded territory to seek peace. Unfortunately, after being kidnapped by the Jin Kingdom, his position changed. But now his attitude towards the Jin Kingdom is too lenient and lacks courage. I believe that if Prime Minister Qin can change his attitude towards the Jin Kingdom, he will
He will definitely be the pillar of our country."
After much stumbling, Zhao Yuan finally finished his words. It was mixed with considerable insights, including opinions from his own standpoint. Qin Hui had a bad relationship with Yue Fei, while Zhao Yuan had a good relationship with Yue Fei, so Zhao Yuan felt that he did not scold him.
Qin Hui is pretty good.
Liu Chan sneered, took out the cylinder that Li Hui presented to him this morning, and handed it to Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan didn't know why, so he opened it and saw a fold inside. Under Liu Chan's nod, Zhao Yuan
I opened the folder and read it carefully. I was shocked by what was written on it and broke into a cold sweat.
What is written in the booklet is that Yue Fei was popular among the people in the north, and Jin Wushu asked Qin Hui to frame Yue Fei for his orders. In this way, Qin Hui turned out to be a spy sent by the Jin State, and the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty actually came from the Jin State.
Agent, how ridiculous and frightening this is.
In other words, all the Song Dynasty's combat strategies against the Jin Kingdom could be passed on in advance. The Song Dynasty was no different from being transparent in front of the Jin Kingdom. Even if the right minister was a spy of the Jin Kingdom, then there was no difference in the court.
Zhao Yuan no longer dared to think about how many people were from the Kingdom of Jin.
Liu Chan snorted coldly, interrupting Zhao Yuan's random thoughts: "Huh, what do you think of Qin Hui now?"
"Father, please quickly ask the people from the Imperial City Department to arrest Qin Hui. We must not let go of such traitorous people seeking glory. Moreover, Qin Hui actually serves as the right minister of our dynasty. The Northern Expedition is likely to be
He spread to the Kingdom of Jin." Empress Zhao Yuan was extremely afraid. If Qin Hui succeeded in framing Yue Fei, then his power in the army would be greatly reduced, and his relationship with the generals would plummet. As a prince, you can't guarantee your support.
Your generals, so how can you make those generals admire you again?
"What are you worried about? You don't think I only found out about this news today, right?" In fact, the original person Zhao Gou had doubts about Qin Hui a long time ago, otherwise he would not have been suspicious of Qin Hui for several years.
Investigation. It is true that Qin Hui has changed too much. A once passionate young man has become a politician who only knows how to use tactics. A minister who was kidnapped to the Kingdom of Jin once again became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou could not be careful about all this.
.However, Qin Hui was too careful in his actions. After several years of investigation, he did not reveal any flaws.
The reason why people from the Imperial City Department were able to intercept this secret letter this time was because Jin Wushu was too careless. He lost his cool because of the defeat in Shunchang. In addition, Qin Hui was not actually Jin Wushu's
He is a close confidant of Wan Yanchang.
The Jin Kingdom is actually somewhat similar to the Song Dynasty. They are divided into the main war faction and the peace faction. The main war faction of the Jin Kingdom is headed by Jin Wushu, and the peace faction is headed by Wan Yanchang. Jin Wushu has always wanted to defeat the Song Dynasty with one blow.
Wan Yanchang believed that this was an impossible thing and opposed the continuous use of troops against the Song Dynasty. Apart from being consistent in the general direction, the two parties had great conflicts in other places.
"Since father knew this, why did he still let Qin Hui serve as right minister?" Zhao Yuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Qin Hui, huh, he's just a dog I raised. Without me, he wouldn't even be qualified to go on stage and sing. I wrote the script, and he's just a small role in it. Don't say he has the role.
Even if he is the left prime minister, I can easily destroy him." At this moment, Liu Chan looked very much like Zhao Gou, an emperor who was proficient in the art of maneuvering, and an emperor who only knew how to maneuver.
Zhao Yuan swallowed hard. He was frightened by Liu Chan's words. He was really frightened. He originally thought that although Liu Chan was the emperor, his courage and ability were far from the emperor's level.
.But now it seems that he was wrong. He didn't see Liu Chan clearly at all.
Can an emperor who can lead an army of 170,000 troops be said to have no courage? Can a man who is a bit of a bastard say he has no ability?
Liu Chan continued to say to Zhao Yuan: "There must be good ministers in the court; there must be treacherous ministers in the court. Don't listen to the Confucian talk about virtuous and unvirtuous people, as long as you can make good use of them. You are about to become
The crown prince of my dynasty, so I will only say these words to you alone, and you don’t want to spread it outside. There is a hidden thread arranged by me on Qin Hui, and it will only break out when the time is right. This time I personally went on an expedition, and Qin Hui was in charge of the food and grass.
Yes, I can't keep an eye on him anymore. You keep an eye on him in the capital. If anything happens, you can directly notify the people in the Imperial City Department."
"Why don't your father give him another official position first, and then change it after you return from the Northern Expedition?"
Liu Chan shook his head: "This official is a trap I dug for Qin Hui, and so is the rebel army. If I change him now, it will arouse the enemy's suspicion. Although Qin Hui is a spy around me, this spy has won the trust of the Jin Kingdom.
"
"That's it, I understand."
Under Zhao Yuan's curious gaze, Liu Chan took a few more steps back and forth: "I have a request for you, and I need your consent."
Zhao Yuan's eyes widened. The emperor wanted to ask for his consent. What was going on? "Father, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
"You need to free up the position of Crown Princess. After the Northern Expedition is over, I will select a few beautiful girls for you and let you choose personally."
Zhao Yuan looked stunned, that's it? The two of them stared at each other, unable to understand what they were thinking. Liu Chan thought that the crown prince was a big deal, but Zhao Yuan thought it was nothing. After all, the queen was dead, and there was no need to establish a queen again.
It's not a big deal either.
"My son, I obey your orders."
"Well, okay, then you go down and get ready. I'll ask the Ministry of Rites to choose a date to officially crown you as the crown prince."
"Thank you, Father."
On the other side, after Zhao Can left the palace, he immediately returned to his house and planned to have fun with his newly adopted concubine. But as soon as he walked to the front of the house, he saw a group of people gathered around the door and making noise.
"Who are you? How dare you come to my palace to make trouble!" Zhao Xu shouted angrily. Since he became the prince of Zhao Gou, he has never seen anyone dare to make trouble in front of his house.
I saw Zhao Hao walking out from the group of people and looking at Zhao Can with a smile: "The Prince of Enping County accepted the order."
Zhao Xu hurriedly knelt down and said, "Holy greetings."
"I am in peace. Zhao Xu, the prince of Enping County, has a mediocre nature, has no reputation for benevolence and filial piety, is close to villains, appoints traitors, and is provocative and difficult to discipline. But the common people are the common people of heaven. I respect the destiny of heaven and should be safe and sound.
"Although I want to love my son, I am really afraid of the higher spirits. How dare I bring chaos to the world with an unworthy son. I am determined to depose him as a commoner. I only care about the common people, but the matter has not been achieved. I am deeply ashamed to say this!"
Zhao Quan suddenly felt stupid. He just went to the palace. Why was he deposed as a commoner? He wanted to question Zhao Hao and get an answer. But Zhao Hao himself didn't know what mistake Zhao Quan had made.
, how to answer him? So he quickly asked the people from the Imperial City Department to pack up Zhao Can and his family and send them back to his hometown.
Zhao Quan's matter aroused heated discussion. Not only did the war faction dislike Zhao Quan, but even the peace faction did not want to see him. What could an emperor with no ability and only knowledge of romance want him to do? Then the officials listened to the rumors from the Ministry of Rites
, His Majesty officially established Zhao Yuan as the crown prince seven days later.
All the affairs in Lin'an have made all the officials in Lin'an a little numb. Do whatever you want, just lie down on your own. Anyway, the Song Dynasty belongs to you, Liu Chan. If you want to do it, everyone can do it with you.
