Zhao Yu saw that Houyuan really had some nostalgia for going back and forth, but before he could go around, someone reported that Zuo Xiang and a group of ministers came to him. He knew that the change of the situation would also change people's minds, and he still wanted to enjoy it and live the life of a real emperor in this big garden. And in Qiongzhou, the courtiers of the Xing Dynasty were suppressed, although there were compromises among them, but it was a fact that the power of the prime minister was weakened. Now that he has returned to Jiangnan, he no longer needs the small land of Qiongzhou, and he needs them to help manage it, so he has to give them a certain degree of freedom, and the power of the prime minister can be asserted.

The matter of settling in Lin'an can be said to have been decided before, but after the order in the city was stable, the ceremony of entering the city was held, and the holy car was stationed in Lin'an. But now nearly 20 days have passed, and the matter of entering the city has been delayed for a long time. On the surface, the imperial city needs to be renovated, and the people's hearts still need to be appeased. However, if you think about it at a deeper level, the capture of Lin'an this time is the emperor's personal expedition, but the emperor has not entered the city for a long time, but the dynasty has entered the city first, which will inevitably give people the impression that the emperor is young and everything still needs to be decided by courtiers.

Think about Zhao Yu since the 'prison of the country', the best house may be in Quanzhou Pujia, and he has slept in an ordinary house, lived in a grass shed, and even lived in the imperial mausoleum next to the dead for more than a month, the palace in Qiongzhou is just a rebuilt mansion, although it has been expanded, it is only in the name of welcoming the queen mother and the dynasty, and it has been renovated for expansion over the years. Now I live in a smaller place, but it's much better than it was back then, so I don't think much about it.

If you want to find a place to live, Zhao Yu doesn't need to lead the guard battalion to ride into the city, others may not be able to see it, but everyone in the dynasty knows that the military uniform of the guard battalion is different from other armies, and it is the real pro-army of the Son of Heaven. They suddenly entered the city in a large group, and the Lin'an Mansion would not not know, and the courtiers would not not know, but no one came to inquire for a long time, not to say that they were deliberately lazy, which also showed the meaning, so that he couldn't help but think about it.

Zhao Yu knew that what they did had nothing to do with loyalty and treachery, but the struggle for imperial power and power was endless throughout the dynasties, and it was nothing more than a question of who was in charge. Of course, the emperor wants to make a statement, and the prime minister also wants to influence the government and implement his own concept of governance. Fundamentally speaking, as long as the emperor is not a fool and the prime minister is not a fool, the two sides will inevitably have conflicts.

At the critical moment of the war, Zhao Yu certainly did not want to provoke conflicts, nor did he want to lose his reputation for unloading the mill and killing donkeys, crossing the river and demolishing bridges. But if you don't handle this matter well and nip the situation in the bud, then you will fall into passivity and be restrained everywhere. And blind humility is by no means a good strategy, some things should be fought for or fought for, not just accommodating......

"See Your Majesty, the ministers are late, please atone for your sins!" Zhao Yu arranged the place to meet them in the square pavilion in the lake, and asked people to collect some tables and put them on the table, Lu Xiufu and others crossed the hall and crossed the bridge to the pavilion to greet each other.

"It's okay, I just came out to relax, but I still disturbed your Aiqing." Zhao Yu glanced at it, except for Lu Xiufu, the six Shangshu had arrived, and he got up and said apologetically.

"Your Majesty, the city is initially decided, and it is not yet stable, so it is better to inform the ministers and wait for the travelers, and the ministers will take over." Lu Xiufu straightened up and complained slightly.

"I happen to have free time today, I have nothing to do outside the city, and Lin'an City has been gone for ten years, and I want to go back to my hometown to see. Moreover, now that Jiangdong has just recovered, the war in Huguang is in full swing, and everything needs to be taken care of by Lu Xiang and your Aiqing, how can I bother if I am just hanging out! Zhao Hao laughed dryly twice and asked them to sit down.

"Yes, I am marching fast, all localities need to send officials to take over, the land endowment and population are re-approved, and they all need to be approved by the land minister, and I have just finished discussing the matter, and I heard that His Majesty has entered the city, so I hurried to see the driver." Yao Liangchen said.

"Yes, Wen Xiangzheng is leading the troops outside, and the two governors are staying in Qiongzhou, and the burden of thousands of catties is on Lu Xiang, which is really hard." Zhao Yu nodded.

"It is the duty of a minister to share worries for the king and serve the country, how dare you say that it is hard." Lu Xiufu hurriedly saluted.

"I know the hard work of the left minister, and I am thinking that the two governors can come, so that I can share some work with the left minister, and I can also have a discussion if I have something." Zhao Yu raised his hand and asked him to excuse himself.

"Your Majesty...... The Xing Dynasty has moved north, and if the two governors go north to Jiangdong, it is only inappropriate to leave the Queen Mother alone in Qiong. Yao Liangchen hesitated.

"Yes, I am also thinking about this matter, seeing that the New Year is approaching, leaving the Queen Mother alone in Qiong, it is really my unfilial piety, and I can order the two governors to escort the Queen Mother back to the north!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should not be rushed." At this time, Wei Tianzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said, "At present, the imperial city is completely destroyed, if you want to restore it in a few days, where will the queen mother live in Beijing, or wait for the imperial city to be repaired and then welcome the queen mother back to Beijing." ”

"I didn't think I needed to overhaul the Imperial City." Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "First, there were people who went up to play and moved to Jiankang, where there are natural dangers available, and they can attack Jianghuai in the north and use troops in the Central Plains; If you go south, you can fix Jiangdong, and if you go west, you can recover Sichuan and Shaanxi; The two are now fighting at the foot of the three armies, and the military resources are consumed hugely, and the financial endowment cannot be excessively levied. However, the restoration of the imperial city is extremely expensive, and a large number of craftsmen and servants need to be requisitioned, which is too disturbing to the people, or it is better to postpone it. ”

"The minister has also discussed this matter with all the ministers, but he has not found a suitable place, and he has been busy with affairs in recent days, so that it has been delayed!" Lu Xiufu had already heard that the little emperor seemed to have something else in his words, thinking that he had been in the city for such a day, but he hadn't even figured out where the palace was, and his words were not clear, so he must have thought of something.

"Well, the prime minister of the left has to take care of the affairs of the whole country and the affairs of Gyeonggi, which is indeed too much work, and this is all due to my lack of consideration." Zhao Yu nodded after hearing this and said, "Now Mr. Bohou is still idle, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he is old, so he will take over as the Yin of Lin'an Mansion, how about it?" ”

"Minister...... The minister thought that His Majesty's arrangements were proper, and Wang Yinglin acted decisively, was an upright official, and was known for his prestige, so he could preside over the affairs of Lin'an Mansion. Lu Xiufu was secretly taken aback when he heard this, the little emperor just dismissed his Lin'an Mansion Yin, is this to unload the mill and kill the donkey, or knock the mountain and shock the tiger? But he had just claimed that he was busy with official business, and he happened to be honest again, so he could only agree.

"Chen Aiqing, how about I recommend a talent to you?" Zhao Yu turned to Chen Zhongwei again.

"Those who can enter His Majesty's eyes must be talents, listen respectfully!" Chen Zhongwei saluted.

"This is thorough, you must have heard of it, he is familiar with the scenery of Lin'an, knows the people's feelings, and he has contributed a lot to the breakthrough of Lin'an City in one fell swoop. And he already has an official body, I thought that he could be hired in Lin'an Mansion, and he would still be competent as a general judge and an official. Zhao Yu pointed to Zhou Midao beside him.

"The minister has long admired his name, but he hasn't met yet, but he didn't expect to be included in the account by His Majesty." Chen Zhongwei bowed his hand to Zhou Mi and smiled.

"How dare you compare with your superiors!" Zhou Mi hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiankang is an important town in Jiangfang, and the post of prefect is still vacant since the recovery. I thought that Hu Shenzhi had served in Jiangling, and had participated in the military in Jinghu, so he could be the pacification envoy of eastern Zhejiang, and concurrently served as the governor of Jiankang. Zhao Yu said again.

"The minister thinks he can, and his qualifications and knowledge are competent." Chen Zhong said softly.

"The minister also seconded it!" Xu Zongren also agreed. The others had no objection to the little emperor's arrangement, but everyone felt strange, in the past, the appointment of local high-level officials would be discussed and discussed with everyone, but this time it was proposed in an unquestionable tone, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation at all, and they could not help but suspect that there was another deep meaning in it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not easy to send the capital to Jiankang at the moment, and at the moment we have not been able to completely occupy the Yangtze River defense line, nor can we afford to use troops against Sichuan. Moreover, Jiangbei is in the hands of the enemy, and it will take time to occupy Jianghuai. Therefore, the enemy can not only attack down the river, but also cross the Yangtze River and point directly at Jiankang, in case of loss, or even being surrounded, it will affect the entire situation and affect morale. Therefore, the minister thought that it was the best policy for His Majesty to stay in Lin'an temporarily. "Jiang Xuan is not only the master of the little emperor, of course, he also watched him grow up, so he naturally knows him very well, and today His Majesty suddenly changed the normal change of general, as if he had discovered some potential crisis, and he didn't want to leave Lin'an, otherwise he wouldn't have run to the North Palace, so he suggested.

"Jiang Shangshu's words are reasonable, Sun Wu successively took Jiankang, Jian'an and other important towns along the Yangtze River as the most capitals, but still failed to hold the Yangtze River defense line, Jiankang fought down, had to surrender, Jiangdong was also lost." Deng Wenyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rights and Punishment, also said.

"What you two say is good, but it's not absolute!" Yao Liangchen said, "The Yangtze River defense line began with Sun Quan and died at Sun Hao, and it was by no means a risk to hold the Yangtze River......

Yao Liangchen's big argument, Zhao Yu actually knew it for a long time, but there were other reasons for the loss of the defense line in the later period of Eastern Wu. At the beginning, Eastern Wu and Shu Han in Sichuan were originally class brothers who fought against Cao Cao, but later turned their faces because of the competition for Jingzhou. Liu Bei, the most famous traitor in history, led more than 40,000 soldiers to beg for it, but he was burned to the ground by the arsonist and habitual offender Dongwu in Yiling. The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling were the two biggest victories in the history of Eastern Wu, both of which began with arson, and Zhao felt that there was reason to believe that Sun Quan was the reincarnation of Huode Xingjun.

As a result of the Battle of Yiling, Eastern Wu occupied the whole of Jingzhou, and Shu was confined to Sichuan. After this war, both Eastern Wu and Shu Han recognized the situation and restored class friendship. For more than 40 years, there was no major war between the two countries, and the upper border of Soochow remained uneventful. But then there was a new twist in the class struggle. The 180,000 troops of Wei were divided into two routes and extinguished Shu with lightning speed. From then on, Wei occupied the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and could go down the Yangtze River and attack Jingzhou by water. At the same time, the Wei state had always occupied Xiangyang, not far from Jiangling, the capital of Jingzhou, and the army could approach Jiangling along the Han River.

In addition, Sun and Wu concentrated the main forces along the Yangtze River, and the supply of military rations for the army became a problem. During the period of the Three Kingdoms, the continuous wars caused a large amount of land to be barren, and in the face of this situation, Sun Wu traveled extensively in the garrisons along the Yangtze River. Sun Quan's Tuntian along the Yangtze River was mainly concentrated in the places where the military towns were heavily garrisoned, making Tuntian an important part of Sun Wu's Yangtze River defense line.

On the one hand, Tuntian solves the problem of supplying military rations to the garrison and reduces the burden on the whole country; On the other hand, it can use tuntian to strengthen its rule and maintain the stability of the entire defense line; At the same time, it can also replenish the garrison. Then the corruption happened, the state and county officials and the battalion soldiers, found that it was easy to buy ** farming, and the money was fast, so they all started business on the Yangtze River and the other side, so that the fertile land was gradually abandoned, the food supply was tight, and the Tuntian policy was destroyed, all of which made the Sun Wu Yangtze River defense line gradually abandoned.

In addition, with the successive deaths of Sun Quan and his powerful ministers, Sun Wu gradually lost his "harmony". The change of Sun Wu's heir, the killing of Zhuge Ke and the unauthorized attack of Sun Jun and Sun Lin, coupled with the tyranny of Sun Hao, continued internal friction, and the centrifugal force within the ruling group intensified. The hereditary governors of the Yangtze River defense line and the hereditary military leadership system of Sun Wu all made the power of the scholars increase day by day, and together with the original Jiangdong indigenous wealthy clans, Sun Wu moved towards a passive "self-protection of the river".

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, the loss of the military fortress in the Huai River valley exposed the Yangtze River to the military deterrence of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, the lord of Soochow added an insurance to this natural insurance: iron locks. The Eastern Wu people blocked the vast river with iron chains and locks, and at the same time arranged sharp iron cones below the river surface, which could pierce the bottom of the battleship, thus preventing the Western Jin fleet from passing through the river. However, Eastern Wu still underestimated the IQ of the Western Jin Dynasty, although iron is hard, but it is afraid of fire, and at high temperatures, iron will also twist and melt, which is what the Chinese call "five elements of mutual restraint".

Later, Wang Rui, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, led the sailors to the south. In order to deal with the iron cones under the river, he sent people to make some rafts, with a radius of about 100 steps, on which scarecrows were used to pretend to be soldiers in armor and weapons, on the one hand, to attract the attention of the Eastern Wu army; On the other hand, the raft will hook the underwater iron cone, which can be carried away by the river. After removing this obstacle, Wang Rui ordered someone to prepare a huge torch, drizzled with sesame oil, and then set fire to the iron chain. After the iron was burned into molten iron, the second line of defense was also eliminated, so the Western Jin fleet marched south and destroyed the Eastern Wu.

Later, Song Taizong also used this to oppose Zhao Kuangyin's move to Luoyang, insisted on staying in Kaifeng, and concentrated the forbidden army around Bianjing, and wanted to adopt the strategy of 'civil air defense' to consolidate the capital, which led to the disaster of redundant troops, and also harmed future generations. In the year of Jingkang, the Yellow River defense line was lost, and the capital was immediately conquered and ran to Lin'an.

Now what Yao Liangchen said is just a rehash of the old tune, but his thinking changed too quickly, and he suddenly agreed to establish the capital Jiankang, which made Zhao Hao wonder what his motives were. Is it to excuse yourself for not being ready to take over, or is it to use the word 'virtue' to press yourself and force yourself to compromise......
