Yang Yizhong still knew Zhao Guan's family, so the fact that Qin Hui's name appeared in the Jin Kingdom's official notification was certainly a relief for this official.
In fact, if you think about it, you will know that as a time traveler, Zhao Jiu has been destined to face some specific difficult problems for a long time.
The most basic thing is to recover the mountains and rivers to resist the Jin, Shao and Song Dynasties. In fact, there is no place for hesitation. This kind of big right and wrong thing, it is just a matter of stubbornness. After all, for a person who has received nine years of compulsory education, is it possible?
How can you still 'bear to abandon the two rivers of the Central Plains'?
But other issues are more subtle.
For example, how to deal with and face the two saints? What mentality should we use to treat other abducted royal members? And in the beginning, how to face Concubine Pan, who was still Concubine Pan Xian, the heir, and the so-called Queen Mother Yuanyou? Even in the beginning,
How to face Li Gang and Zongze?
It should be noted that Zhao Jiu was somewhat evasive towards Concubine Pan Xian and even Zong Ze at the beginning, and could only stay dumbfounded towards Li Gang. It was not until he made some achievements and was forced into a corner that he dared to deal with it.
But these are still a bit insignificant compared to the final and crucial key...that is, how to face Yue Fei and Qin Hui?
You must know that for Zhao Jiu, Yue Fei is not just Yue Fei, and Qin Hui is not just Qin Hui. The two names Yue Fei and Qin Hui in his mind represent are not two simple people, but have experienced nearly a thousand years.
After the cultural fermentation, two cultural symbols that went beyond themselves and had far-reaching significance were formed. But at the same time, as a so-called official of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Jiu had no choice but to face such two living people in reality, and he had to
Maintain a relationship that is appropriate to the times.
Yue Fei is okay... After all, Zhao Jiu was not a big V on Zhihu before he traveled through time. After traveling through time, he still had to consider how to kill Yue Fei to save the Zhao Song regime. But at the beginning, because of the vanity of the angry youth, he was obsessed with the imaginary
At that time, the protagonist's image was just a little jealous. But these have long since disappeared after he saw the real person with his own eyes and reached a successful cooperation model with the other party.
All in all, Zhao Jiu and Yue Fei are destined to be natural comrades in the same camp. There is never any inevitable conflict between the cultural symbol in the image and the relationship between the two parties in reality.
But it's hard to say for Qin Hui.
The simplest question is that with the efforts and sacrifices of so many people, the confrontation between Song and Jin along the Yellow River has been achieved, and the failure of the Jin people does not seem so unimaginable in the long run. So if Qin Hui comes back at this time,
And if you want to serve the country and the people just like Wan Qixi, there is no evidence at this time... So what should I do if I dare to ask Zhao Guan's family?
Is it unnecessary?
If there is really no need for a former censor Zhongcheng, Li Gang will probably vomit blood and die in the southeast, and Zongze and Wang Boyan will also crawl out of their graves to write for Qin Huizhi. They are Lu Haowen, Zhao Ding, and Zhang Jun
, Liu Ji, Chen Gui and others are probably going to be disheartened, and even Yue Pengju and Han Shizhong will probably write letters to express their grievances.
Then the history books also say that the tenth emperor of the Song Dynasty created the largest injustice case in the history of the Zhao and Song dynasties... That is really like a toad crawling up your feet. If it can't bite you to death, it will disgust you to death.
But you still can’t explain it!
Explain what?
Since ancient times, people have always ignored their intentions!
In fact, starting from Zheng Yinian, Zhao Jiu was touched by this string... And Zheng Yinian probably didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Their brothers took turns to be separated from the north and the south, just because the official family was afraid of their cousin-in-law.
Do you want to use him to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger?
But no matter what, regardless of whether knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger had the effect or the three Wushu brothers really needed such a person, now that Qin Hui has become a standard Jin Kingdom high-level executive, at least he doesn't have to worry about this person making him sick.
This also made Zhao Guan's family feel a little better today.
But it was only a little better... A moment later, Zhao Jiu had to face the serious question of the imperial cavalry again. He said that how could he make the Northern Expedition without war horses?
"Ignore the affairs of the Kingdom of Jin for the time being..." After personally ordering the 8,000 cavalry troops to move into the prepared camp, Zhao Jiu thought for a moment, then shook his head on the platform and addressed the accompanying civil and military officials. "I just ask.
What should you do about the war horses?"
The surrounding officials looked at each other in groups, thoughtfully.
Obviously, these people do not think that the affairs of the Jin Kingdom should be "ignored for the time being"... What is the purpose of the war horses and even the formation of the Imperial Cavalry Army? Is it not the Northern Expedition? Why is the Northern Expedition not to deal with the Jin people?
And when the Jin people suffered such a big change, why couldn't they manipulate diplomacy?
Don't forget, the attitude of many people was clearly revealed during the Jueying drama that Zhao Guan's family staged in Wende Hall. Now that the Jin people are in civil strife, there is really a possibility of sincere peace talks, and these people's thoughts are also wandering.
It's normal... However, the attitude of Zhao Guan's family was not mentioned. They only said that they had been showing off their bad faces for a long time today and it was not appropriate for them to talk too much at this time.
Therefore, after a long time, someone came out to confront each other and said nonsense: "If the officials want to win war horses, in the long run they have to restore the horse administration..."
"Great Song Dynasty Horse Administration?" Zhao Jiu frowned slightly. "There used to be a special war horse administration?"
"Of course there are." The official below continued to talk seriously. "When the Song Dynasty was founded, the Ministry of Animal Husbandry was set up. The official horse farms were tens of thousands of hectares, and the maximum number of horses was 170,000. If half of them could be used for military purposes, there would be seven
Eighty thousand horses are available..."
"No need to say more." Zhao Jiu became impatient after listening to half of it. "I don't even need to think about it to know that civil servants are in charge of horse administration but have no knowledge of animal husbandry. Then there are the excessive embezzlement by the palace and the corruption of lower-level officials...
...Ma Zheng was abandoned within a few years, and the group of pastoral officials also disappeared during several restructurings, right? How many of the bad things in the Song Dynasty could be avoided by these three types of people? Those who ruined the world
, isn’t it just you, us and them, that’s us? You can’t blame others!”
The man immediately shut up, but he didn't mean it. He wanted to say "official sage", but in the end he held back and didn't dare to say it.
The Zhao Guan family sighed and felt helpless, but continued to ask: "What happened next? Now that the Qun Mu Division is gone, how was the matter with the war horses dealt with later?"
"So that the officials will know that when Wang Shuwang (Wang Anshi) was in power later, he once made the "Horse Protection Law", which means that the court horses were fostered in ordinary people's homes, and the horse breeders could use the horses to offset taxes..." Someone else came out
Rows, like countless treasures.
Zhao Jiu shook his head again: "I respect Wang Shu and Wang Shu very much, but as long as his new law involves the government and households, it will inevitably be suspected of apportionment, and once it is apportioned, the people will inevitably complain. This method must be the worst among the new laws.
A place of.”
"The official's warning." The following immediately responded. "So this method is still abolished and the original government-run ranch is changed back to the original government-run ranch. However, it is mainly based on border market horses and is only raised in a centralized manner. You can no longer breed by yourself."
"In other words, no matter how you put it, this Ma Zheng can't escape the third category...the so-called official self-support, relying on the people's support, and border trade?" Zhao Jiu sighed.
"Exactly."
"In the long run, it is possible to consider restoring the official raising system of the Animal Husbandry Department, but we can no longer involve civil servants who have no knowledge of animal husbandry... The province and the Privy Council will work together to come up with a statement." Zhao Jiu reluctantly ordered.
"Here." The husbands were obviously a little distracted.
Qu Duan, on the other hand, faced Leng Buding with his hands raised: "If the government establishes a pastoral department, it will be possible nine times out of ten."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Jiu was puzzled. "How can I flatter you now?"
"I'm not flattering you, I'm just telling you the truth." Qu Duan answered sincerely. "I've always known that in Kansai, the reason why the imperial gardens in Kansai could not raise horses in the past was because they all raised sheep.
Guanxi mutton is fat and tender, and is specially used to supply the palace. It is said that the palace consumes tens of thousands of sheep every year at that time. With the frugality of the official family now, at least Guanxi can have many more horses.
!”
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and continued: "The purpose of setting up a group of animal husbandry is for the long term, and the people's support is the most undesirable, so there is no need to say more. But for now, if you want to solve the urgent need, you still have to go to the side.
Trade...But Xixia...Does Xixia have any envoys or anything like that in Tokyo?"
"Reporting to the officials... there is none." Zhai Ruwen, the minister of Honglu Temple, hurriedly came out.
"Does anyone know the inside story of Xixia?" Zhao Jiu frowned even more.
As soon as this statement came out, dozens of civil servants from Zhao Ding and military ministers from Qu Duan came forward almost at once.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiu realized in his heart that Song and Xixia knew each other very well, so he simply pointed at Zhai Ruwen and said, "For Qing Honglu Temple, this is your duty."
"The officials." Zhai Ruwen bowed slightly, then raised his head and faced each other seriously. "I wonder what the officials want to ask Xixia?"
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a moment... He looked at Xixia with a black eye.
However, seeing the cavalry entering the camp one after another, and it was still early in the day, Zhao Jiu was happy to listen to the story, so he simply asked directly: "Who is the current leader of the Xixia Kingdom? How long has he been on the throne? What is his reputation in the country? How is the country's power? I am
Listen to the truth.”
Although Zhai Ruwen was surprised that the official Zhao family did not know about the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, he immediately responded: "Good instructors know that the current leader of the Xixia Kingdom is called Li Qianshun. He succeeded to the throne at the age of three and has been in power for forty-five years. This person has a very high prestige in Xixia."
, these decades are also the most stable decades for Xixia, which can be called the country's peace and prosperity."
This is somewhat unexpected.
However, Zhao Jiu was just stunned for a moment and continued to ask: "Then what major things has Li Qianshun done since he took the throne? Tell me briefly."
"Back to the official family... Before Li Qianshun was sixteen years old, the government was basically controlled by his mother's family, the Liang family. After his grandmother Liang's death, his mother was also a Liang family and still controlled the government. About thirty years ago, his mother
Xiao Liang first fought for power with his brothers, destroyed his Liang family relatives, and acted arbitrarily. Then he used Li Qianshun, who had not yet grown up at the time, to cause chaos, and the whole country came to attack Yanfu Road... After the Xixia was defeated in that battle, Liao returned.
The emperor knew that the Liang family had committed such atrocities, so he sent people to poison the Liang family after the war. From then on, Li Qianshun got rid of the Liang family and successfully took over the government."
Hearing such words, Zhao Jiu's face remained calm and his heart stopped beating... What else was he thinking about? This kind of nonsense is a traditional East Asian art.
"In the following years, Li Qianshun married a princess of Liao Kingdom again, and with the help of Liao Kingdom, the war with our emperor Song Dynasty was uncertain..."
"What's the outcome?" Zhao Jiu suddenly interrupted out of curiosity.
Zhai Ruwen obviously hesitated for a moment, but still answered seriously: "In Zhezong's reign, Emperor Song won more than he lost, and in Emperor Taishang Daojun's reign, Emperor Song lost more and won more... The most famous battle was twelve years ago, when Tong Guan Yixi Liu Fa (the father of Liu Zhengyan) was appointed as the general by the river planner, and they fought all the way to Lingzhou City. Unexpectedly, the Xixia people turned their backs on the city and defeated them in a single battle, and Liu Fa's troops were completely wiped out."
Zhao Jiu's expression remained unchanged, and it was obvious that he was not surprised.
"However, Li Qianshun took advantage of the situation to counterattack. After a great victory, he asked for surrender in the name of the Liao Kingdom... The Emperor and Song Dynasty were almost forced to agree."
Zhao Jiu was slightly moved.
"The officials should all know what happened later. The Jin people went south, and Li Qianshun, as the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom, rescued three times. In one of them, the 30,000-strong army was defeated by the Lou family in a battle. Xixia then professed to the Jin people... and the Queen of Xixia Kingdom , that is, Princess Yelu Nanxian of the Liao Kingdom, when she heard that her motherland was destroyed, she went on a hunger strike and died. The Prince of Xixia, Li Renai, who had always been filial, also died of worry and anger with his mother." At this point, Zhai Ruwen added slightly. "Li Qianshun He has always had a deep love for his queen, and he is even more affectionate towards his eldest son. If he talks about selfishness, he will naturally be at odds with the Jin people. However, this man has always been tolerant. After his wife died, he put the safety of the country first, and became more docile towards the Jin people. ...The year before last, Lou Shi attacked the Jin-Ning Army, and he could get a discount, which was to travel freely from the territory of Xixia. Not only that, he found out that the person in charge of the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army was Nianhan, and he was particularly flattering to Nianhan. It is said that he repeatedly bribed Nianhan with heavy sums of money. , and Nianhan also repeatedly rejected the idea of conquering Xixia."
Zhao Jiu nodded, thoughtfully, and then asked: "In addition to military affairs, does Li Qianshun have any other famous achievements?"
"Yes." Zhai Ruwen continued to respond casually. "He worshiped Buddhism and Confucianism. During his reign, the decades-old dispute between 'Han Rites' and 'Tibo Rites' in Xixia was finally resolved. Today, Xixia has become a The Han family is in great glory..."
Zhao Jiu burst out laughing, which was expected... Which serious country's serious monarch couldn't sort out his ideology first before starting work? Even the Jin people, didn't they also carry out Chinese reforms as soon as possible after this coup?
"No matter what, is this Li Qianshun a keeper of integrity?" After laughing, Zhao Jiu still looked at him solemnly.
"I believe that Li Qianshun can indeed be said to have maintained his achievements." Zhai Ruwen bowed his head and replied.
However, after Zhao Jiu heard this, he curiously asked again: "Let's not talk about Li Qianshun, just Xixia, I still don't know something... Isn't the core of Xixia just a loophole in the end? Even the foundation of the country is Lingzhou, Xingzhou That area of Zhouzhou... no matter how beautiful that area is, it's not even one-fifth as strong as Kansai, right? Why did Li Yuanhao actually let Li Yuanhao establish the country? And then continued the country for nearly a hundred years?"
Zhai Ruwen hesitated to speak. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to reply.
"Quduan." Zhao Jiu simply named him. "You tell me."
"I think it's probably the vast sea!" Qu Duan answered bravely. "This will let the officials know that there are only three ways to capture the land of Xingling. One is to go out of the Xihe River and go down the Yellow River; the other is to go out of Jing. It turns out that we take the Hulu River and then connect to the Yellow River; we go out of the Baima River on the third trip and connect to the Lingzhou River... Among the three roads, the closest is the Baima River, and the Lingzhou River is the road, but there are hundreds of miles of vast sea desert to travel."
"Hundreds of miles is hundreds of miles?"
"The narrowest point is two to three hundred miles, and the widest point is six to seven hundred miles..."
Zhao Jiu felt more and more absurd: "Hundreds of miles of desert...are there Baima River and Lingzhou River as roads in the middle?"
"yes."
"How about sending 50,000 elite troops, preparing logistics, and taking Lingzhou by surprise?" Zhao Jiu said seriously. "Don't pretend to be confused. The national power of Xixia is that of Li Yuanhao. Can there be fifty thousand elites?"
"The officials..." Zhao Ding couldn't help but intervene.
"Come on!" Zhao Jiu raised his hand to stop Zhao Ding.
"Guan family." Qu Duan said carefully. "It should be possible, but military affairs are not certain..."
"If you don't go through the desert and the vast sea, why don't you go through the Hulu River? Can't we use the Yellow River as the food road to stand firm and fight steadily?" Zhao Jiu was obviously a little angry. "I'm not saying that one hit should hit the target. What I mean is that Xixia In the nearly 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, from Li Yuanhao to Li Qianshun, the Song Dynasty killed millions of people in this small country and lost countless billions of military resources, right? The millions of people were divided into twenty times and moved along the Yellow River and even to If we fight against Hengshan, even if the entire army is wiped out nineteen times, we should be able to succeed once, right?! And I am not saying that if we destroy Xixia in one battle, we can touch the hinterland of Lingzhou once, and the overall situation will be settled, right? Even if the destiny is not in the Song Dynasty, it will not work twenty times, but if the army advances twenty times, Xixia people should be worn to death, right? Why is this situation? Or are people like Di Qing just waste? I read the history books Are they all fake? Those who compile the history books are all Di Qing’s sons?”
"Guan family." Qu Duan finally couldn't bear it anymore, but he raised his head and faced the angry eyes of several princes. "The people who compiled the history are the sons of Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan. Let Di Qing replace Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan. Xixia has long been dead." Already."
Several princes, as well as many ministers, had no choice but to rush to see Zhao Guan's family, but they only saw the official sitting there with his head raised and silent.
But half a day later, I saw an official sitting in the seat holding the blisters on his lips and angrily saying: "One is Yanyun, the other is Xixia, the third is Nanyue, and the fourth is Dali. It has been a disaster for hundreds of years, and it is embarrassing!"
None of the civil and military officials dared to speak for a while.
