"Why is Ming Gong so anxious?"

When Song Shangshu's left servant shot and Cai Jing, the servant under the door, wanted to go to the vertical arch hall, he arrived at the right servant of the Song Dynasty Shangshu and Zhao Tingzhi, the middle scholar, who arrived at the door of the vertical arch hall one step in advance, saw that Cai Jing was in a hurry, so he asked.

"State affairs are complicated, the border is critical, and the old man has to be in a hurry." Although Cai Jing was extremely annoyed by Zhao Tingzhi in his heart, there was nothing abnormal on the surface, and he just replied lightly.

"Cai Xiangguo works hard for state affairs, and he is deeply admired." Cai Jing called himself "old man" in front of Zhao Tingzhi, which made Zhao Tingzhi feel a little annoyed in his heart.

Cai Jing is more than fifty years old this year, and Zhao Tingzhi is more than sixty years old this year, the age difference between the two is as much as seven or eight years, this is one of them, the other is that Zhao Tingzhi and Cai Jing are Jinshi in the same department and the same list, so at this time, Cai Jing should call Zhao Tingzhi as a young brother, no matter how bad it is, he should be commensurate with his official position, but at this time Cai Jing actually called himself an old man...

However, despite this, Zhao Tingzhi is still calm Cai Jing said: "The prime minister, the son of heaven is in charge of yin and yang, and the four seasons are in order, and it is appropriate to nurture all things, and the princes of Siyi are appeased outside, and the people are attached to the inside, so that the doctor can be prepared to do his job!" Cai Xiangguo is the sound of the wind, the sound of rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything is troublesome, state affairs, government affairs, court affairs, Cai Xiangguo, you are everything, everything is asked, Cai Xiangguo has worked hard! However, as the old saying goes, the heart has love, there is no need to love deeply, the heart has hatred, there is no need to hate deeply, and all of them are damaging and hurtful, so Cai Xiangguo should be at ease and not afraid, tireless, and angry. . . ”

Zhao Tingzhi's words about state affairs, government affairs, and family affairs are, of course, Li Sanjian's affairs, and Zhao Tingzhi insinuated that Cai Jing arbitrarily asserted dictatorship.

"Zhao Xianggong laughed, the old man is deeply favored by the country, how can he do something for Hou Gu Wanjing?" Cai Jing smiled when he heard this.

Hou Gu Wanjing is Hou Jing, a person from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, his surname is Hou Gu, the word Wanjing, Hou Jing is not allowed by the Western Wei Dynasty, he can only go south to the Liang Dynasty, Liang Wu Emperor Xiao Yan heard that Hou Jing will defect to the Liang Dynasty, so he was extremely happy, and sent troops to meet Hou Jing.

Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, can be said to have the grace of saving his life and knowing Hou Jing.

But soon after Hou Jing was accepted by Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, he made a living of rebellion, and he wanted to take away the country of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan.

In the third year of Liang Taiqing, Hou Jing broke through Taicheng, Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Wu was starved to death, Hou Jing set up the prince Xiao Gang as the emperor, Hou Jing proclaimed himself the governor of the capital, forced Princess Liyang to marry him as his wife, and then forced the emperor to make him the "general of the universe"...

Hou Jing is an arbitrary and authoritarian figure, and he is also a typical ungrateful character.

At this time, Cai Jing alluded to Zhao Tingzhi as a Hou Jing-like figure.

"That's great!" After Zhao Tingzhi snorted, he said to Cai Jing: "The time has come, Cai Xiangguo, please!" ”

"Zhao Xianggong, please!" Cai Jing responded.

So the two walked side by side to the hall of the vertical arch.

After the reform of Yuanfeng, the system of ginseng in the Song Dynasty was mainly four kinds of ginseng, including Japanese ginseng, six ginseng, Shuo ginseng, and wangshen.

As the name suggests, the day ginseng is to see the emperor every day, and after the meeting, it is necessary to discuss politics. The officials who are qualified for the Japanese staff are called "Japanese counselors", or "permanent officials", that is, officials above the attendant officer, including the provincial magistrate and above, the provincial resident of Zhongshu Province and above, the Shangshu province and above, the officials above the imperial history, and the officials of the Privy Council, which is the so-called "important ministers of the court".

The important ministers of the imperial court need to go to the vertical arch hall early every day to meet the emperor.

And the six staff refers to the officials above the hundred divisions, that is, the officials of the three provinces and the imperial history platform, and the officials above the chief of the temple, every five days, they have to go to the Zichen Hall to meet the emperor, and a total of six times in a month, so they are called "six staff", and the officials who are qualified for the six staff are called "six staff".

Shuoshen and Wangshen refer to the officials above the temple supervisor and Dali Judge, who go to the Zichen Hall to meet the emperor twice on the first day of each month and the first day of the month, that is, on the first and fifteenth day of each month.

Shuo Shen mainly refers to the promotion of court officials, and the officials who need to go to the Zichen Hall to meet the emperor on the New Day of each month are called "Shuo Counselors" who are eligible to go to the Zichen Hall to meet the emperor on the New Day of each month.

The more frequently the emperor's officials were able to meet them, the more they proved that their official position was greater...

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

In the Song Danei Vertical Arch Palace, after the Song Emperor Zhao Ji was stationed, the prime minister Cai Jing escorted the class, and the ministers visited Zhao Ji together.

"The Qing family is flat!" Zhao Ji sat on the throne expressionlessly and said to the ministers.

"Bang Bang!" After the whip was fired three times, the officers stood on two sides.

"If you have something to do, you will start playing, and you will retire if you have nothing to do." The palace chief then shouted.

"Your Majesty!" Cai Jing, who was the left minister of the imperial court, was of course the first to speak, so he went out and said: "The river is ringed, the mountains and gorges are circuitous, the Qiang is restrained, and the Yi is important... Guanzhong guards, does not cross the Qin wind. After Xining, the beginning of the long-term strategy, the plan to restore the river Huang, in order to control Xirong. ”

Cai Jing paused for a moment and then said: "If the Holy Dynasty can capture the land of Hehuang, it can coerce Hexi from both sides, and it can cut off Xirong's right arm and encircle Hehuang Zhufan, and then it can be barbarian and barbaric." During the time of Emperor Shenzong, the first emperor repaired Xi, Tao, Min, Die, Tang and other prefectures, expanded more than 2,000 miles, captured more than 9,000 people from the unshun Tibetan department, and appeased more than 300,000 accounts of the large and small Tibetan departments. . . It can be described as brilliant. The first emperor Emperor Zhezong, in the second year of Yuanfu, issued an edict to enter Huangshui, and successively captured Miaochuan, Zonggecheng and other places, which can also be described as brilliant military achievements. Three years after Ran Yuanfu, the army retreated, and the land of Hehuang was gained and lost, a pity! What a pain! At this time, the Hehuang Zhufan was suspicious of each other, and killed with soldiers, so the ministers thought that this was a good opportunity to repair the Hehuang, and the ministers begged for the holy jian. ”

Cai Jing's recovering Hehuang and expanding the northwest of the border was a cliché in the Song court, and it was also a long-term dispute between Yuanfeng and Yuanyou.

The Song Dynasty recovered Hehuang and expanded the northwest of the border for two purposes, one was to resist the erosion of Western Xia, and the other was to recover the homeland and the homeland of Li Tang.

The great enemy of the Song Dynasty is Liao, and the Western Xia and the Liao are each other's horns, so if you want to weaken the Liao State, you must first subdue the Western Xia, and if you want to take Hexi, you should first restore the Hehuang, then the Xia people have the worry of suffering from the enemy. If all kinds are served, then the Hexi Li family is in the palm of my hand!

But Western Xia is not so easy to subdue...

The battle of Song and Xia, since the second year of Emperor Baoyuan of Song Renzong, has been fought intermittently for more than 60 years, costing countless dollars and exhausting the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Li Dynasty of Western Xia is still alive...

Wang Anshi changed the law, the imperial court revenue increased, and the treasury was full, so Emperor Shenzong Zhao Ji used troops to the northwest, opened the Xihe River, Wang Shao led the army, and expanded the five states.

In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Western Xia royal family was in turmoil, Zhao Ji, Wang Anshi and others thought that there was an opportunity, so they sent troops to attack the summer in five ways, but the armies that went deep into the summer land were defeated due to the lack of food and grass, and the Song army was defeated and returned in vain. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, he listened to Xu Xi's plan to build Yongle City, and the Western Xia sent 300,000 troops to besiege Yongle City, and the Song army was defeated and defeated. The Song army was defeated twice, and Zhao Ji's plan to attack Xia Xuesha and save the "New Year's Gift" was completely declared bankrupt.

Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty also died of depression at the age of thirty-eight.

After the death of Emperor Zhao Xuan of Song Shenzong, Emperor Zhezong Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, deposed the people of Yuanfeng, and reused the people of Yuanyou.

After Gao's death, Zhao Xu was in charge of the government, carried out "Shaosheng Shaoshu", deposed the people of Yuanyou, and reused the people of Yuanfeng, so the Song-Xia War broke out again.

Zhao Xu used troops in the northwest, and after several major battles, the Western Xia army was defeated in Pingxia City, forcing the Western Xia to beg Liao to send troops to intervene, and sent an envoy to apologize and sue for peace with the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu died young, Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize the imperial power, he adopted Han Zhongyan's policy, and always abandoned the land to seek peace, so that the achievements of Shenzong and Zhezong were ruined.

One of the charges for Han Zhongyan's demotion was the crime of abandoning Huangzhou in the northwest.

"The minister and Cai Jing played the same!"

"The minister and Cai Jing played the same!"

"What Cai Xiangguo said is great, my Holy Dynasty army should immediately send troops to restore Huangzhou and other places of the river!"

At this moment, the imperial court did the "Chongning Party Ban" thing, set up the "Yuanyou Party Monument", and deposed all the people of Yuanyou, so at this time the court and the middle were all Yuanfeng's people, Cai Jing admonished the imperial court to use troops in the northwest, of course, it was responded to by the ministers, and the ministers came out to play.

"It is of course a good thing to recover the land of Hehuang, to cut off Xirong's right arm, and to coerce Hexi, and Weichen also hopes to do so." After the ministers were arguing and shouting, Zhao Tingzhi, the right minister, finally came out of the class and said: "Can the country use it enough?" Xihe all the way, since the use of soldiers, beheading tens of thousands, the remains of the wilderness, the ghost is helpless, so the people of Shaanxi are poor, the court is depleted by the day, Your Majesty, if the army is used in the northwest at this time, Weichen has estimated about it, and the annual fee needs to be four million, so can the treasury support it? ”

As soon as the war starts, the daily expenses will be worth money, and the focus of war and peace is on top of the annual expenses, that is, whether the treasury can support the continuous war.

In the past, the focus of the dispute between the people of Yuanyou and the people of Yuanfeng was also in this aspect.

"Your Majesty!" Wu Juhou, the secretary of the household department, heard the words and said: "Since the lecture on the banknote change law of the Division, the income has been sufficient, which is enough to support the war in the northwest. And not only to change the money method, but also to change the tea method, the salt method, the Cao Yun, the Fangtian method, etc., in this way, how can the state be insufficient? ”

Cai Jing's change, in the final analysis, is to exhaust the wealth of all the people in the world, for the use of the country, exhaust the talents of the military of all the prefectures and states in the world, and gather wealth in Beijing, which has caused many serious consequences.

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

"That's great!" Zhao Ji nodded happily when he heard this, and asked, "I am determined to use troops in the northwest to inherit the will of my father and brother." Cai Qing's family, can there be a suitable commander of the army? ”

The treasury is sufficient, and of course the use of the palace is no longer stretched.

Since this period of time, the inner library has become more and more abundant, and Zhao Ji can finally do what he likes to do, such as collecting celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antiquities and jade, and rewarding concubines and palace maids.

These are all thanks to Cai Jing, and Zhao Ji is very clear in his heart.
