Chapter 240: The West Wind Is Hated by Pedestrians (2)
Lingbei and Ningcheng Xingzai, Zhao Si, Yu Wenxuzhong and Yue Zhuoqun were talking in the study, and Zhao Ding hurried in.
"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Tianzi Class A." He panted and reported.
Zhao Si raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
Yu Wenxuzhong stood up quickly and said to Yue Zhuoqun: "Mr. Yue, please come this way."
Led the sensible man out of the study.
Only then did Zhao Si take a small scroll of paper from Zhao Ding's hand and unfold it to take a look.
"On the evening of August 22nd, the Liao Pi room and the palace were divided into military chaos. The Lord of Liao and the harem were all dead, except for Concubine Yu Wen, King Ao Luo of Jin, and Princess Yu Liyan. Liao ministers Yelu Asi, Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Sixian and other six
Nineteen people were killed..."
Zhao Si put the scroll on the desk, and Zhao Ding reported on the side: "Your Majesty, this is our person, sent urgently by letter falcon from the Duck River. There will be more detailed information later."
"Then let's wait a little longer. This pot of Liao food needs to be simmered until it gnaws your teeth. The Khitan is ridiculing hundreds of thousands of people and attacking hard. The losses will be too great and it's not worth it."
For several days, news kept coming.
Zhao Si read it one by one, and Yu Wenxu and other staff members also read it. They were in a rather excited mood and gave advice one after another.
"Your Majesty, let's send troops!"
"Don't worry, let the Xin Falcon fly again!" Zhao Si said decisively.
"After passing the order, Zhongshi Dao led his troops out of the Tanglu Mountains and attacked the Jilijisi tribe. These nomadic tribes on the north of the mountain are quite unique. The Jilijisi tribe was the first batch to defect to our Song Dynasty.
When we defeated the coalition forces of Borjijin and Mierqi, we made great contributions. Now we have even fallen out with each other."
Zhao Si changed the topic. Yu Wenxuzhong, Zhao Ding, Zhang Yi and others were anxious, but they also knew that once an official made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it.
I could only listen to him quietly.
"That's right. These unruly and freedom-loving tribes are naturally unwilling to recruit people into the Xuanwu Banner. In this case, let's fight each other. When I enter Lingbei, their rules will be changed. From now on, winter and summer
The pastures have been determined, and you must graze them conscientiously, and stop being uninhibited and loving your freedom.”
"Gene Era"
"Especially don't go south to hunt grass in the valley if you have nothing to do."
Zhao Si clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly around the room, speaking firmly.
"But if you want to restrain people, you have to let them eat and drink well. This cannot be compared with Brother Tianzuo. The most elite Gongfen, the Pishi Army, is driven to do hard work, and they are not allowed to eat or drink well. It is a common practice.
Most of the rewards have been taken away by others without even realizing it..."
"Since they are willing to submit to the Song Dynasty and are willing to serve as banner people, the Song Dynasty cannot treat them badly. The political system, culture, and religion have been arranged, and the next step is the economy. We must let the soldiers and civilians of Xuanwu Banner in Lingbei, like the soldiers and civilians of Zhuque Banner in Tubo's old land,
Similarly, we exchanged goods with the Central Plains, using cattle, sheep, furs and other items in exchange for tea, sugar, grain, salt, cotton..."
"We must make their lives better than before. This is a hard target. They must live better day by day, so that there is hope... This time I came to Lingbei, in addition to paying homage to Yan Ran, Langjuxu Mountain, and accepting
In addition to their honorific titles, what is more important is to observe the actual situation everywhere and see how our layout in Lingbei in the past few years has been effective."
Having said this, he turned to Zhao Ding and asked: "Yuan Zhen, you are responsible for sorting out the materials. Tell us about the effectiveness of our measures to improve people's livelihood in Lingbei."
"Returning to the official family, since the fifth year of Tianqi and the founding of Lingbei, the imperial court has established 175 schools and 115 health clinics to benefit the people in Lingbei. At the same time, 4150 people have been recruited.
Seventeen technical school students, including 1,121 doctors and 1,251 animal husbandry students..."
"Twenty-five warehouses, seven wool carding plants, five mutton canning plants, and three mare kumiss wineries have been built... Freight exchanges between the Central Plains and Lingbei are very smooth... From all aspects, the effect is very good
Outstanding.”
After listening, Zhao Si nodded with satisfaction, pointed at Zhao Ding and said: "In the past two years, the people's livelihood work in Lingbei must be summed up, the advantages must be summarized, and the shortcomings must also be summarized."
"Here!"
When Zhao Si picked up the tea cup and drank tea, Yu Wenxuzhong looked at Zhao Ding and Zhang Yi and said carefully: "The official family, the Liao Kingdom..."
Zhao Si interrupted him loudly.
"It has been ten years since I came to the throne. Ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye. Now you can look back and see what I did in the beginning. Shutong, Yuanzhen, and Uncle Si, can you tell me?"
Yu Wenxu, the three of them were startled, and quickly declined: "Your Majesty, this topic is too big, I am afraid that I will not be able to explain it well or not fully explain it."
Zhao Si laughed loudly and said nonchalantly: "Then I will summarize it myself. You can write it down and keep it in a secret file. I will use it to educate the princes and grandchildren in the future."
"The first is to resolve the resentment. The resentment between the old and the new parties has reached its peak after three twists and turns by Yuanfeng, Yuanyou and Shaosheng. After I came to the throne, I did not seek to completely resolve it, but I could not add fuel to the fire! So I
The exiled old masters of the old party were recalled, and the extreme figures of the old and new parties were suppressed."
"I even risked being unfilial and gave Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, and Lu Gongzhu posthumous titles and posthumous titles. Especially Sima Guang, what's the saying, 'If you don't return to Luoyang, stay with the emperor and live for my people!', haha. You.
If you are knowledgeable, write books and teach people well. You have to get involved in the court, which exposes your narrow-mindedness. He is indispensable for the life-and-death feud between the old and the new parties!"
"Of course, for the sake of balance, I also issued an edict to downgrade Wang Xianggong's posthumous title and posthumous title. The originally agreed upon royal title was changed to a return gift to Jing Guogong (who was named Jing Guogong during his lifetime), and his posthumous title was downgraded to Wencheng. His posthumous title was reduced to Wencheng.
He is higher than Sima Gong, because he has great achievements in recovering the Xihe River. Sima Gong always gives up the land in order to stop fighting, and gives gold to Dr. Ziguanglu, but I am not willing to do so!"
"Wang Jinggong has flaws in his character, but his ambition and talent are indeed a thousand-mile horse for me in the Song Dynasty. If my father had been more resolute in temperament and restrained this thousand-mile horse well and not allowed him to indulge, maybe it would not be like this."
Yu Wenxuzhong and the three of them were very excited. The fact that the official could entrust the three of them to record this secret that had not been passed down to others, took this trust to a new level.
The three of them listened and murmured in their hearts.
Officials, is there any emperor in the past who has a temperament like yours? His heart is as hard as iron, his perseverance is as steel, and he is full of tricks. If Wang Jinggong is in this dynasty, he must be honest.
After thinking about it, the three of them felt it was a pity.
The temperament of the late emperor of the temple was indeed a bit bad. He could not deal with the stubborn Wang Jinggong and other new party figures, and he could not deal with the stubborn backbone of the old party and the Queen Mother Gao. Both sides could not be suppressed. As a result, in the court, either the new party was fighting against the old, or the old was fighting
One faction, the old or the new, gained the upper hand and started fighting among themselves again.
well...
"But all of this is based on the authority of my words and deeds. I will do what I say and have the determination to dare to lift the table. I also have military merits and the support of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops. Only then can I balance the old with the new and suppress the left and right.
, instead of adding fuel to the fire, we can slowly remove the fuel from the cauldron and slowly resolve this resentment."
"Nowadays, there is no distinction between old and new officials in the Song Dynasty, only competent and incompetent..."
Listening to Zhao Si's energetic words, Yu Wenxuzhong and the three of them looked at each other and knew that the officials had made up their minds to ignore the civil strife in Liao for the time being and wait for the letter falcon to fly again.
At this time, at the Konoye Mountain at the junction of Tuhe River and Huanghe River, Li Yan climbed out of the boat, climbed up the river embankment using all four limbs, and then turned over and lay on the ground, looking at the blue sky and panting.
"Why don't you go to Beijing? There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers there..." he asked while kicking his head.
"Anyone who is a senior official doesn't know that Shangjing and Tokyo are Yelu Yujian's territory. He served as a stay-at-home in Shangjing, and later moved out of Tokyo. He has worked hard to manage these two places for several years, and I don't know how many of his people there are.
If we rush in carelessly, we will die without knowing how."
Pharmacist Zhong, who was accompanying him, replied hummingly.
Li Yan remained silent.
This time, if Zhong Yaoshi hadn't been alert, got the news from somewhere, and pulled him out first, he would have ascended to heaven in that fire together with Emperor Tianzuo and others.
"I can't die, I must go back to Nanjing!" Li Yan touched the baggage on his body. There were two boxes there, which were the two seals commonly used by Emperor Tianzuo. In these years, Emperor Tianzuo issued imperial edicts to reward and ordered officials to conquer.
, these two seals are used.
As a close minister, one of his responsibilities was to take care of these two seals. When the soldiers were fleeing for their lives, Li Yan immediately took them with him.
This is capital!
Nephew Li Chuwen assisted Yelu Chun, King of Zuoyue, to stay in Nanjing. Now that Emperor Tianzuo is in trouble, it is a great achievement for him to escape back to Nanjing with these two seals. It remains to be seen who he will support.
Thanks to the support, the Li family can reach a higher level this time.
Thinking of this, Li Yan was filled with strength.
"Pharmacist, give me a hand. Let's continue on our way and return to Nanjing as soon as possible."
"Okay."
At this time, the west wind was blowing more fiercely, and the two of them were walking faster. This chapter has been completed!
