After successfully summoning Fang Xuanling, Li Xiang was in a good mood. However, Li Xiang still had to make a political summons next. The next few years will be the last time for Li Xiang to develop stably, so he must seize it.
That's good.
"The system, with the same one hundred summoning points, will continue to conduct a political summons for me."
"Ding, the first person is Kou Zhun of the Northern Song Dynasty, with 80 points in command, 56 points in force, 92 points in intelligence, and 97 points in politics."
Kou Zhun was an upright man, and because of his many direct remonstrances, he was gradually reused by the emperor. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, he became involved in political affairs. After Zhenzong came to the throne, Kou Zhun served in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and as the third envoy. In the first year of Jingde
, and served as prime minister together with Bi Shi'an, the chief political officer.
In the winter of that year, the Khitan went south to invade the Song Dynasty and surrounded Yingzhou and other Hebei areas. The government and the public were shocked. Kou Zhun strongly advocated Zhenzong's personal expedition and opposed the southward migration. After Zhenzong arrived in Chanzhou, the morale of the army gradually stabilized, and he shot Tao Lan, the vanguard of the Liao army, and concluded
The "Chanyuan Alliance".
"Ding, the second person is Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, commander 48, force 48, intelligence 90, politics 96."
Sima Guangnai was a politician, historian, and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was gentle, courteous, and upright. He adopted a policy of land cession and tolerance towards Xixia and Liao, and merged with them. His personality can be regarded as a model under the influence of Confucianism.
During the Shenzong period of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang left the court for fifteen years because he opposed Wang Anshi's reform. During this period, he presided over the compilation of the first chronological general history in Chinese history.
In fact, Li Xiang still liked his old rival Wang Anshi more than Sima Guang. Unfortunately, in this summons, the famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who strived for reform did not appear.
Moreover, Li Xiang seriously doubted whether Sima Guang could really reach the political level of 96. Could this be a bonus for him to defeat his political enemy Wang Anshi?
Compared with Wang Anshi's reform and innovation, striving to develop production, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and save the political crisis of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang's thoughts were simply too conservative.
Sima Guang was even more dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's unwillingness to implement the new law without choosing the advantages and disadvantages. He also returned the land that the soldiers during the Shenzong Dynasty had captured with their lives to Xixia for free. As a result, in the future, when the old and new parties fought, it became a struggle for spirit and power.
No longer focus on the running of state affairs.
"Ding, the third person is Li Gang during the Song Dynasty. He has a commanding score of 72, a force of 46, an intelligence of 88, and a politics of 96."
Li Gang was a famous official who fought against the Jin Dynasty in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty. In the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin soldiers invaded Bianjing, Li Gang served as the envoy to guard the four walls of the capital, uniting the army and the people and repelling the Jin soldiers. However, he was soon ostracized by the surrender faction.
When Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, Li Gang was once appointed as the prime minister. He tried to reform internal affairs, but was dismissed after only seventy-seven days. After that, he was again appointed as the Xuanfu envoy to Hunan and also knew Tanzhou. Soon, he was dismissed again.
The plans of Shang Shu and Chen Kangjin were not adopted, and he died of depression.
"Ding, the fourth person, Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty, has 88 points in command, 68 points in force, 89 points in intelligence, and 96 points in politics."
When mentioning Fan Zhongyan, many people may immediately think of his literary achievements, especially his sentence "worry before the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy", which has been passed down through the ages.
But compared to literature, Fan Zhongyan's political ability is not bad at all. He has made achievements not only in politics, but also in the military. He can be said to be capable of writing and military.
When Fan Zhongyan took office in Taizhou, he recruited more than 40,000 people and rebuilt the sea-defending weir. This not only ensured the people's livelihood, farming and salt production at that time, but also played an important role in "defending and preventing disasters" in later generations.
After Fan Zhongyan came to Suzhou, based on the water properties and geographical environment, he proposed a water control plan to dredge the five rivers between Kunshan and Changshu to divert the accumulated water from Taihu Lake and into the sea. Fan Zhongyan mainly focused on "building fences, dredging rivers, and installing gates"
The flood control scriptures and paintings not only won praise from the public at that time, but also inspired later generations. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the two Zhejiang provinces followed this model to control floods.
Moreover, in response to the current situation of internal and external troubles, Fan Zhongyan proposed ten reform programs and started the Qingli New Deal, which advocated clarifying official administration, reforming imperial examinations, renovating military equipment, reducing corvee labor, developing agricultural production, etc. The contents involved politics, economy, military, and education.
, imperial examination and other aspects and fields.
Although the Qingli New Deal ended in failure, it also shows Fan Zhongyan's political ability.
"Ding, the fifth person is Pang Ji from the Northern Song Dynasty, commander 82, force 49, intelligence 87, politics 96."
Like Su Lie and Su Dingfang, Pang Ji was also seriously blackened by the novel, so much so that whenever Pang Taishi was mentioned, he would be thought of, while Pang Ji's original brilliance would be ignored.
Pang Ji not only made good friends with Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and others, but also supported Sima Guang, Di Qing and others.
When Pang Ji was guarding the border, he sent his general Di Qing to lead more than 10,000 people to build Zhao'an Village next to Qiaozi Valley. He recruited people to farm many times and used the harvested grain for military supplies. He sent Zhou Mei to sneak attack and capture it.
In Taiping Village, Wang Xin built Long'an Village, recovered all the lost land, and built eleven cities.
"System, get rid of Sima Guang and Li Gang."
First of all, Kou Zhun, who had the highest political ability, naturally had to be retained. Among the remaining four, Li Xiang finally chose to keep Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji.
Compared with Li Gang and Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji not only have outstanding political abilities, but also have certain military capabilities. Obviously, it is more profitable to choose to retain these two people.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining Pang status in the Northern Song Dynasty. Commander 82, force 49, intelligence 87, politics 96. The implanted identity is a descendant of the Pang family in Jingzhou. He is one of the talents recruited by the host from Luoyang this time. He is now serving as a civil servant in the host army.
Official."
"Children of the Pang family in Jingzhou." Li Xiang murmured to himself.
This identity is not simple among the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. With the identity of Pang's son, he might be able to make plans for Jingzhou in the future.
However, this is a bit far away. In the strategic plan of Li Xiang and Wang Meng, taking action against Jingzhou is still far away, and there is no need to even think about it within ten years at least.
"System, continue summoning. Use 100 summoning points to summon a fierce general." Li Xiang continued.
There is a high probability that there will be no wars in the past few years. Li Xiang will naturally continue to summon. At this time, he is least worried about balance.
After two summonses, it was clear that Li Xiang's political talent was sufficient. Don't forget, Li Xiang also abducted Xun Yu from Luoyang.
The reason why we need to summon powerful generals is because there are still a few powerful generals under Li Xiang who have reached the peerless stage. We can't rely on Xing Tian and Jiang Song for every role.
